Poems

The Dreamer's Keep

Alone in silence while night slips away

Into the mind where all is now gray

Your thoughts and worries won't leave you be

So dream you're taking this trip with me.

Come on inside and take a peek

And welcome to the dreamer's keep

Where all the people who cannot sleep

are all gathered around and counting sheep.

See the glittering night falling down

As we float above the earthy ground.

Look over there, what's that I see?

It's Little Fairy Flutter-feet

A - dancing up the suzi street.

Hear the song of the cooing dove

And smell the mist of imaginary love.

This is the place where you can go

When you cannot sleep and you're feeling low.

For everyone knows that peace of mind

Is somewhere out there, but hard to find.

So if you want to fall fast asleep,

Just take a trip to the dreamer's keep.

 

My Mind's Ear

When the muse whispers into my ear,

And beautiful songs are all I hear,

I'll stand upon a fluffy cloud,

And sing my thoughts in song aloud.

 

And so the world will always spin,

While in my soul are thoughts of Zen.

So every day I'll hold it dear,

That songs are born from my mind's ear.

 

The Disco Jogger

As I wait the whole week long

To see and laugh , though it is wrong.

I tell you of a funny sight...

The Disco Jogger in broad daylight.

In blue silk shorts, he jogs along.

I'll bet he's thinking of a song.

A snappy tune by the Bee Gees,

Maybe he will do "The Freeze".

Is that a golden chain I see?

A john Travolta wanna-be?

So even though i know it's wrong,

I laugh and watch him jog along.

 

Limericks

The Flower

I once sniffed a flower

After a Springtime shower

A bumble bee arose,

and stung my little nose,

And now it's been swollen for an hour.

 

Brain Picker

I know a brain picker

That liketh to bicker

It makes him feel smarter

For you to think harder

And him to think he is the quicker.

 

Not So Debonnaire

Strutting his dairyaire

And acting extraordinaire

He slipped on a weiner

Ruining his demeanor

And now he's not so debonnaire.
