Silver Mines in the Sky

Moist Silver mines
waiting dark and deep
When will come the time
when miners take the leap?

Blast charges,
Rock removal,
Tunnels to be made
Slow Measures,
Due Process,
Tracks to be laid

Silver deposits
cluttered together
will soon be extracted
but not today
A job deemed protracted

Love Cats

Unsure this and unsure that
If I can't love you, I will love a cat
A cat that is clean,
A cat that is nice
If you're going to be mean
Then she will suffice
A love from a feline
Will be easy to take
Oh how I'll love all
The purring she'll make
I just hope to keep the fur balls away
And adapt to sleep not at night but all day.

or maybe to my knees
this hair could grow up to my lips
or at least to my kidneys

She'd noticed it that day in passing

Lizzy Liz Liz

One day I had decided
to jot down some words that described you
so I took out my notebook
unsheathed my Paris pen
gave my old memory a look
and thought of old times again

That one night at your junior prom
oh how could I forget
so many words then came to mind
from that night you made me sweat

then of course your cool dress
Denny's with Mian, pictures to tout
though i wish I did impress

then came up the park and beach
those places were more fun with you
and oh how much fun it was to teach
