think on this: you have nature
in your hand... and bliss

Big honkers look great
But more beautiful still… is
A big honkin’ smile!

And never will like the cold
Turnin’ blue…too old!

One is dreams, one is real and

Beauty comes also
With age… no hint of guile… it
Comes wrapped in your smile

Small kids…girls and boys
Should not have to live in worlds
Without joy or toys

There’s a time for
All things… love… beauty and rhyme
This is not that time
