It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

My singing of this classic Christmas tune.

Mele Kalikamaka

It’s that time of year.
I enjoy singing Christmas songs.
Here is the first of many.
(You may want to unfollow now if you don’t want to hear
a lot of my Christmas videos in the coming weeks. :) )

Giving Thanks

I wish I had the chance to thank,
and express the way I feel,
to who decided,
on Thanksgiving,
we should
eat a big meal.

Scary Costume

The costumed children at my door,
who come to trick or treat.
Each year try to scare me,
which is not an easy feat.
But this year they made terror strike,
afraid I wished to flee.
They made me more than afraid,
when they appeared disguised,
as me.

Halloween Scare

Every year at Halloween,
children trick and treat at my door.
They enjoy my treats of candy,
but they also get much more.
The get a thrill from my appearance,
the say my costume causes fright.
It’s funny cause I've never,
wore one on that night.

Adam To Eve

Bone of my bone,
flesh of my flesh,
desire for completeness,
interrupting rest.
Once of me,
now wholly realized,
Fantasy fails,
the truth idealized.

Just A Thought

Soon it will be November.
A time of Thanksgiving and voting.
Either way you’re served a turkey.

Unequal Thanks

Inequality is a curse,
of which many people speak.
They hope to have fairness,
whether strong or weak.
There is one exception,
to having equality.
No one desires,
equality with me.

Without Vulgarity

The man was a rarity.
He spoke without vulgarity.
He refrained from being rude,
by never speaking crude.
In times where others must,
feel the urge to cuss,
he could be most creative,
some say innovative.
With eloquence and courage,
he’d used creative verbiage.
Without a dictionary
to be consulted,
you’d not know
you’ve been insulted.

Light Not Abandoned

When it comes time for the darkness to begin burning,
the reluctant rays of light will be yearning.
To last longer than a day.
To illuminate and show the way.
For clearer paths without shadow for misstep.
To give unobstructed light to guide,
and yet,
time and duty demands it acquiesce,
to the blanket of lights emptiness,
yet lest men stumble,
with sight not far,
it illuminates in night,
with moon and stars.

Haiku You?

Haiku you do this?
Haiku I do what? I ask.
Haiku you write such nonsense?

An Oasis

A battleground,
a pathway,
a foyer,
and a door.
The world is called
many things,
A test,
and so much more.
History and the present,
demonstrate lifes strife.
Evil battles good,
claiming their way
is called right.
There are those of us,
who seem frivolous.
Silly, childish,
and the like.
Who don’t appear serious,
in a world that wants to strike.
But a purpose we posses,
as forces seek to destroy.
It is to bring some laughter,
and an oasis of joy.

Come Dance With Me\Come Fly With Me

This is a medley of the songs "Come Dance With Me" and "Come Fly With Me".
I sang to the dancing of Cyd Charisse and Fred Astaire.
I hope they would not have minded.

The Summer Wind

Today is sing a song Saturday.
Never heard of it you say?
That’s because I just made it up.
Hey, I’ll use any excuse to sing a song.
This is a good tune for the end of summer.
The old standard song “The Summer Wind”.
I hope you enjoy my version. ______________________________________

Hot Tiny Pun

Asbestos I can tell,
it resisted fire well.

Morning Beauty

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
At least that’s what they told her.
But those words are cause for scorning,
when she sees me in the morning.

I Get A Kick Out Of You

My version of this classic standard song.

This is a comedy political ad I made for Rufus T Cornwall.

As Time Goes By

Time for another tune.
This is my version of the song "As Time Goes By". ________________________________________________

Haiku I Do This

I wrote a haiku,
that would rhyme with itself too.
It’s not hard to do.

The Impatient Patient

The impatient patient

became an inpatient

in spite of inquiring

into outpatient surgery.

Big Number

They say age is just a number.
You are as young as you feel.
And growing older means your wiser.
At least that’s supposed to be the deal.
But the things that I am wise about,
are mistakes I can’t repeat.
And as my number grows larger,
I’m further from petite.

Prose About Cons

Orange clad figures
standing beneath a yellow sun.
The days of stripes,
in the past,
gone,
like their freedom.
The prison of walls and wire,
pales in comparison
to the confines in their minds.
Escape,
no longer means fleeing
across man made boundaries.
Simple events,
lighten loads of mental burdens.
There is no race,
or clan,
or gang,
that segregates them this night.
For it is lederhosen, and polkas!
German Fest and sauerkraut night
has returned to the penitentiary.

(I would would like to take a moment and apologize for this poem. I really need and editor. In writing and in life.)
