Aspire to Acquire
I aspire to acquire
a beautiful blue sapphire
I'd be so very saddened
if it never happened
Yes, it is true
It's tantamount to
a strong sexual desire
Bewitching as St. Elmo's fire
I'd admire that heirloom stone
It's allure is so well known
My own little Star of Bombay
St. Valentines day-everyday
Still I want you to know
I'd be willing to forego
my materialistic bliss
for your heartfelt kiss

I Love It When We...
I love it when we...
Wake on a fresh spring day
Stroking your hair as we lay
I love it when we...
Have our summertime fun
Soaking up the Florida sun
I love it when we...
Take our scenic autumn stroll
All quiet except for a garish crow
I love it when we...
Go to bed on a crisp winter night
Snuggling and holding me tight
I love it when we...
Spend anytime together
Either fair or foul weather

A Boy Named Samuel
We have a son, Samuel is his name
He has a twin, but they aren't the same
As a baby, I felt his name should be Taz
Hell in diapers, he was full of pizzazz
The smaller of the two, soon he grew
Now, he is taller by an inch or two
Stubborn as a mule, proud as a peacock
An avid reader, who doesn't go for baby talk
We love him even when he gives us gray hairs
We always remember him in our nightly prayers

Moments with You
Reminiscing about days of the past
Jumbled images of my life amassed
Chasing the end of another decade
My passion is not a masquerade
What date will be life's lethal dose
Praying that I will I get to say adios
Until then, I'll keep on loving you
Having fond memories to accrue
My past, your past...ancient histories
Together, we will hoard anniversaries
Though one day I'll be called up yonder
So moments with you, I won't squander

Damn War
Damn war drags on
Our soldiers are gone
A young father is dying
Never to see a new dawn
A broken wife is left crying
The government is lying
Old men know the difference
Industry keeps on supplying
A child sits in sweet ignorance
Waiting on Daddy's entrance
Parents lost their pride and joy
Killed stopping the menace
Always be their little boy
He volunteered to deploy
Taps, flag, and purple heart
Buried with his son's favorite toy

She Said, He Said
She said...
Just for good measure
and it'll be no trouble
It'll be her pleasure
to give him a double
He said...
Ok, at her leisure
Don't get it on your dress
She is a real treasure
and fulfills all his requests
Then she said...
It was a labor of love
and she didn't mind
She'd go over and above
Just be quiet and unwind
Then he said...
He'd return the favor

Nickki
Nickki, oh Nickki, a beautiful child of God.
Like the cold November rain, your eyes penetrate me to the bone.
Like the glowing July Sun, your smile warms my heart until it's overblown.
Nickki, oh Nickki, a Heavenly Angel on Earth.
My, oh my, we are so amazed at how you've grown.
Will you be a doctor or a musician, it's still unknown.
Nickki, oh Nickki, Jesus' love is never-ending.
We all have some bad, we all have some good.
We will love you forever, I pray that's understood.

Sometimes I Wish
Sometimes I wish...
I had some red licorice
Forget the food police
Guidelines and gibberish
Sometimes I want...
Just to be noncompliant
The hell with your rules
I choose to be defiant
Sometimes I yearn...
To keep the wages I earn
You give to nations of hate
Old Glory is what they burn
Sometimes I long for...
The end of perpetual war
Killed, wounded, and maimed
Yes, we all know the score

Rainy Solitude
She sits in rainy solitude
Serenely waiting his return
Just time and quietude
Serenely waiting his return
Autumn chill is sitting in
Have wood for tonight's burn
Autumn chill is sitting in
Daylight hiding in the trees
By and by, darkness will win
Daylight hiding in the trees
One more glass of wine
Listening for his jingling keys
One more glass of wine
Soon he'll be gone once more
Two day trip on the railway line

Pork-n-Beans
Pork-n-Beans, a favorite food of any renaissance man
Afterwards, you may want to turn on the exhaust fan
I like them hot as the capital of Sudan
I like them cold straight out of the can
Pork-n-Beans are a culinary delight
Give me great pleasure with each bite
If I could, I'd dine on them every night
Handy for the refrigerator raid at midnight
Pork-n Beans should be kept readily on hand
Nuclear fallout shelter...keep them canned
Zombie attack...snack while making a stand
In-laws visit...for a evening meal unplanned
