wedding,
A lad who could take what was dished
Found a girl who did as she wished
So when she sat down
To take off her gown
All of his hopes and dreams were squished.

halloween,
There was a spooky house on a big hill
Folk went in, to seek some kind of thrill
All souls that entered
Were definitly rendered
A mean old witch cast spells that gave a chill

A witch on a journey at night
was gripping her broomstick in fright -
the batteries low,
a distance to go,
she wished that she'd traveled by kite!

A crusty goblin cracked a crevassed grin
While chasing odd witches in a tailspin
He heisted her fat black cat
Whereupon her broom she sat
To kill all the rats in his crusty den

The future's unknown as days quickly pass
As we age, we really don't buy green bananas
Uncertainty is great
Could be the last page
No schedule, we play it by ear and takes our chances

Porsche drivers are the elite of our society
Scottie owns one, his nose high above this atmospherity
Don't want to cast aspersions
But it's a 2012 version
But it's still a Porsche, his nose is still high in the skyity

peace,
Ever thought of living in the middle of nowhere
Getting away from the insanity, smelling the fresh country air
Experiencing nature
Without any neighbors
A dream only few are able to experience and share

youth,
It's a seventeenth-century term for a young man
lazily wasting time nothing better to do than
to hang; used by an older person
who's talking about a young person
who behaves boldly despite being inexperienced man.

love,
The light from all the stars in the heavens
Or a single candle lighting a loving expression
A sweet loving phrase
Can capture the sun's rays
All this combined can't equal love's luminescence

A priest on top of Mount Zion
Offered a prayer to Orion
The scripture quoted
On the air floated
So lunch was fresh for the lion

With Love of God Much Can Learn
At night would always toss and turn;
To meet God in church we did yearn;
We will find;
Not leave behind,
And with Love of God much can learn.

With great sermon Priest did appear.

Christ On Christ Courageous and Contagious
On cross Christ chose to be courageous,
Which for believers has been contagious;
We did behave;
Love He gave,
And what Trump did do was outrageous.

Is God going to let Trump get away with
all of his antics and lies?

Here's a revelation, nothing is 'impossible'
Because the word itself says, 'I'm possible'!
How about that
A tricky wee stat
If you want some more, call me at the hospital

imagination,
This is an imagination, of this world, of ourselves
It's only a dream, dear friends, there's no such thing as self
We can feel, we can touch
But reality is a crutch
To explain this bewildering concept, there are no parallels

While watching changing of the tide,
All over sand,
Do understand;
Then showing off ego with my pride.

Of the people who will be the contender;
Far above best;
Passed each test;
Not only that has been biggest spender.

Jesus was stuck with every thistle;
Crucified;
Died;
Wind would sound like a whistle.

Sitting There Saying a Prayer
While I had been sitting there,
Started suddenly to say a prayer,
When I would,
And also could;
God is always with many to spare.

Just remember they can get unruly
Rousing ghosts in the night
If one gives you a fright
Well then give him a kick in the ghouly

What was the matter with the clatter,
Causing things to break and shatter,
After shaking,
And breaking,
Then finding surfaces become flatter.

And together go ahead and eat,

Regardless of weather,
While they were at Trump suite.

Who great picture did like to draw.

Another ignorant memo he started sending;

And from him wish we could escape.
