My Pet Dragon

If dragons were real asked my son
Would I be able to keep one?
He could stay with me up in my room
Saturday morning we'll both watch cartoons
I could take him with me to school
And play Marco Polo in the pool
But what would you feed him asked I?
He'd need to fly high in the sky
If you catch one they get pretty mean
Dragons live in our wildest dreams.

Daddy's Little Girl

I'm proud of my little girl
For the woman you've become
Always keeping in your heart
The place where you came from
But you must go live your life
To the beat of your own drum.

My Wife

My Wife is a jewel of the nile
Who yells only once in a while
I give her a smile 
And plead my denial
She keeps all her complaints on file.

Angry Leprechaun

Once upon a time...I bent over
And picked up a four leaf clover
A leprechaun with a hangover
Said "don't mess with this wild 
Irish rover!"
I grabbed him right by the hand
Said "give me what I demand"
What happened didn't go as planned
He disappeared just like quick sand
Now all I have is this tale
I recite while I'm drinking ale
My story never seems to get stale
Because it's of my epic fail.

Remember

Remember when I said "I love you"
Think of me in a good light
When it was only just us two
Kiss me and let's say "goodnight"

I know we're both tired and upset
And wanting to go separate ways
You are the best person that I've met
And I hope we will have better days

These trials that we have to go through
Are drifting us further apart
Remember when we said our "I Do's"
I love you with all of my heart.

Sympathy For a Fly

i sympathize with a fly
that landed on my 
blueberry pie, i give out
a cry! and spill all my
chai, though perhaps
he was hungrier
than i

Blue Eyes

Into her blue eyes
I can hear the waves crashing
     And smell the ocean

Avatar

My avatar is my green eye
When I seen it I let out a cry!
Fix it? I gave it a try
I'm not a tech-savvy guy
If you see it now you know why.

Shannon

I came across a daisy
That made me think of you
Even though you're my sister
Our friendship surely grew
When I look upon the daisy
With its sunny hue
Reminds me of your smiling face
The happiest person I knew.
