My Aunt
Babe
My aunt Babe
was very rare
She had really white hair
And her toes were always painted
The color of a red robin bird
But what she was really bad at
Was the art of philosophy
I told her I was going to be
A doctor of philosophy
And she looked deep in my eyes
And asked of me
What kind of disease
Is philosophy

When stuck upon you

Goodman II
What ever
happened to Cara Goodman?
A woman proud and free

And become a wife you see
Tell me want went wrong
If anything that is
With Cara Goodman
Pretty as a wiz
What did happen
I truly want to know
She was so dang pretty
And polite don’t you know
Harriet
Thinking
about Harriet
Wonder where she is
Standing on a blank and shallow sea side
Or in the tide of manic thoughts
I’m just thinking Harriet
Not free nor proud
Just me in the day time
Crying songs to her heart
Debbie
Sellers-Frotta
Debbie
Sellers-Frotta reminds me of Peter
Mr. Sellers, comedian
The funniest man on this earth

And for all my money
She is a honey
And I can’t express all her worth
She's Got
Two Ears
she's had two
ears
Which look like whist I
know and make me recall the
Alamo and I thought her eyes did glow
She had a huge mouth
and despite the size
it was attracting siuttingfar far below
her eyes and those ears were so real pretty
two of the best in the whole city
The whole city and each and every city
in each and ever county and
each and ever continent on
all and human world
She was, was, was so damn
attractive And man what ears
She had a
smile On Her Face
I do have a
grand son
Little Brody K
And I do love that lad
And everything he does say
For when he did begin He was a one
word man
All he ever did say was baaa
And I tried not to get so mad
His mother is an intelligent woman
And his fathers not a dunce--I just wish he
would say anything else just once
You know I do love the boy
The handsome little lad
And I try not to
Fall down screaming mad
But when I do hear it
A million times a day I am so tempted
To send the child away
But ya' know there’s something else to do
Just when he comes over I pull on his ear
And put my lips close to him
Up there by his ear And I will bend over
Because he’s not that tall
And I will go for hours
Baa baaa baaa bazaars
and his mother my daughter said
dad you know that's wrong
All he's really doing
Is singing out a song
Dan, My
Son
Dan, my son
Just up deform one
Did invent
A new cement
(or, in truth)
Was it a moose?)

Stuck in his hair
turning olive green
made of just split pea
I Do
Feel So Sad
I do feel so
sad
I am not with you
Out from a sunny world
Into one so blue
I do feel so sad
When you're not here with me
And I just can't tell
What the world should be
But I know I am mad
‘Cause the world feels so sad
With me right here in it
And I just want to end it
Hopeless Lora, Pumpkin Pie
Hopeless
Lora, pumpkin pie
Stuck a needle in her eye
And she did not get mad
Until the eye fell out and how sad
Was Hopeless Lora, pumpkin pie
Hopeless Lora, pumpkin pie
Eating peaches along with rye
And when the sun went down
Lora stood there very brown
She Has
A Little Face
She has a
little face
And she takes it every place
Out to Dallas and over to L.A.
She takes it just so she can play
On the slide trombone
And if she had a place
I mean somewhere but her face
I am certain she would take
That slide trombone
Back to Ireland, her old home

With your silly stories

Then on Monday morning

Are not so good to use
Some new inventions
Effectively banish the truth

With A Book To Read

with a book to read
Just in case I awake
And I my get hungry
So bury me with a cake
Don't
Put Me In The Closet
Don't put me
in the closet
There are bugs and rats in there
And I am really afraid
That they'll jump in my hair
And I hate the darkness
there's just one reason why
I am unable to read my books
I know it, for I did try
So please don't put me in the closet
And I'll tell you what I'll do
I'll not jump out screaming
And give the death of fright to you
She Said She Liked My Sense Of Humor

liked my sense of humor

Angie
Is A Real Sweet Heart
Angie is a
real sweet heart
real nice and real kind
But she has a last name
Which is so hard to pronounce out loud
It really is so like this
Although she has a heart of bliss
that twenty eight letter last name
Truly is a mess
Now I don't know if she is a married
But I do truly guess
She'd not marry anyone
Who carried a name like this
Now I am not making fun of her
For I do truly like her
So I'll take a moment here
To blame is on her father
Leonard
Wrote For Love
Leonard
wrote for love
But he said it was for money
and I know one thing for sure
that that was not funny
I write with sense
Occasionally I use a pen
More than once I fix my ear
from getting poked within
Leonard wrote for love
But I think it was for money
for we do know how writers get rich
and have to eat the honey
which they get from bees
while hiding in the trees
for some green leafs
to get some green leafage
The
Sands Flow Deep They Go
The sands
flow deep they go
up and around then
up and around the bend
this and so the sands do go
The sands do flow and fly
and get lost in your eye
the sands ride deep as well as past
the green leaves which don't grow that fast
The green leaves are all then gone
there is no time to write a song
and this and so it will be long
I'd
Take My Eyes Out
I'd take
my eyes out
to get a better look
at that pretty face
buried in the book
I would pull my face off
to get closer to yours
I would be so happy
Just to look at your pores
I would really look to give
a big kiss to your lips
and if you kiss back I''ll say
What a nice coincidence
She
Jumped
She jumped
to conclusions and
She didn't need a saddle
She wasn't out rustling
And men or any cattle
But it is a fact
Whether true or whether not
and I'd be glad to tell you
except that I forgot
Oh here it is
She had leaped to conclusions
And she didn't find her saddle
and since this is nonsense
It doesn't resale matter
Dogs
Have Never Started Wars
Dogs have
never started wars
Cats have never dropped the big one
Ponies never shot a gun
and fish have never come undone
my dog may little on the lawn
and cats may seem to be glum
and the ponies may want to rest
but this seems only the best
Dogs have never started wars
Cats have never dropped the big one
and if that seems stupid
then call me as one dumb
She Could
Have Been My Prom Queen G
She could
have been my prom queen
She was really that delicious
She could have been my prom queen
that was one of my deep wishes
I See
The Smooth Skin
I see the
smooth skin of a model
and the smile of a Madonna
and the long hair of a true winner
and I wait for you for our dinner
Pull
The Tissue Out
Pull the
tissue out
Rub it cross your nose
And if you think it needs it
Give a few good blows
The
Girl In A Bathing Suit
The girl
in a bathing suit
Looks so attractive and cute
I'd love to have lunch with her
Maybe in the winter
I've
Never Had A Purple Hat
I've
never had a purple hat
And I never want to get one
The art of oblivion is
It just isn't that much fun
Tapioca
Sorry I
don't know ya'
You may be a soldier
not a bull dog colly
not my dear aunt molly
so sorry I don't know ya'
nor how to spell tapayoka
They did not reach that
In my high school school
But they also did not have a refreshing pool
so sorry once more and again
so sorry I don't know ya'
and I guess that means
I'm sorry I can't hold ya'
I Have
Run Out Of Coffee
I have run
out of coffee
I spilled a cup and that's still sloppy
Wish I had a dollar or two
And I would ask for a date with you
and we could go to a coffee house
There's several of them all around
And here within our town
So I am not that scared
That all the coffee is now out
What
Happened
I want to
lay my head down
To watch a little T.V.
I did not feel at all
That I was that sleepy
But the show went on and on
And when a commercial came on
It was a second and I was gone
Diesel
Fumes
Don't breath
too very deep
For it will awaken your sleep
then oddly you'll not ever sleep again
The
Light Switch
the
light switch on the wall
waits for my paw
to turn it on
All
My Thoughts
All my
thoughts on paper
there they go to stay
Until the day I throw it away

the street
its a way to go but feel lucky
that there is no snow
