instead of hanging out in bars
he learned to study stars

Glow in the dark heart, hear its onorous bump!
She still dreams amourlessly of him~ in her throat, a lump.
He left her with malice~ she wrongly felt like a true chump?
Come back, her heart cries for him,with his feelings of a tree stump!!

appreciation, humor, music,
Between the Pauls, there were some laughs
From some with valued autographs
And glimpses of the former staffs
Of Saturday Night Live.
Some old routines brought up to date,
Including some just second-rate,
Performed to help to celebrate
What’s managed to survive.
Paul Simon started with a song
To which we all could sing along
And with a voice no longer strong,
For harmony he’d strive.
Sir Paul, the final singing guest,
In dapper shirt and jet-black vest,
Despite his lessened pipes, impressed,
The audience alive.
For fifty years of SNL,
We’ve watched careers it helped propel
And since this wasn’t a farewell,
We hope it long may thrive.

whatcha do when your mom
has on speed dial a bunch
of famous folks, find
your favorite and text ‘em
funny faces and love
from you to d’em
finding the cookie jar open
gasp, your full name exhaled,
ultimate laughter and forgiveness

Sighing in the rain
It
Was a
Dull morning
Dark and cloudy
But we ventured out
Rushing to catch the train
Before long we were engulfed
Half way along the avenue
In a downpour of torrential rain
Of course Jan had forgotten her brolly
So we had to turn back, go home again
As she was soaked to the very skin
The rest of us were so annoyed
We would miss the train to town
Be late for the concert
And afternoon tea.
Our day out spoiled
“Not happy
Foolish
Jan”

Katsushige Mizuno
Is too awesome for just one lord, you know
For 15 years lived as a wanderer
Moving on from one liege to another
His father's serf once tattled on his misconduct
So he drew his sword upon the man and struck
Dad got sick of his wild displays
He swiftly sent the youth away
But no scorn or exile can put a hamper on his pluck
Though he at last went home and made up with dad
Who shortly died; that made him the family head
They say a rolling stone gathers no moss
But putting down roots is no great loss

Chubby Checker was doing the twist
Poor guy fell right down and broke his wrist
No dancer anymore
Chubby's wrist is sure sore
Ladies: Make it 'all well' with a kiss

‘All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts.’
(As You Like It, Act 2, Scene 7)
By Shakespeare
If this is so
I hope it’s
more than
one act.
What of us
who are mere
understudies
or stage hands?
I don’t remember
rehearsing for
any parts-do you?
My entrance
wasn’t so grand
my exit probably
won’t be either.
Hope I don’t
fall off the stage
and I know I don’t
want any singing parts.
What if I get
Stage fright?
does that mean
I don’t get to act?
Is this Broadway
or off Broadway?
Is it local theater?
Whatever type
I hope I can win
a Tony!

Darn
Dentist
Dreadful deed
Damned if you do
Damned if you do not
Disturbing drill din daunts
Drat! Delectable doughnuts
Digging deep childhood cavities
Done! Drear disposition diminished
Displaying the dazzling disarming smile

Dear MAGA,
How is a dictatorship better than socialism?
Explain it to me like I’m a Canadian
The American way
Sell it to me
Becoming the 51st state
Make annexation sexy again.

confusion, funny,
There is this lady
whom I'll call Ms Maybe
cause she excites
and spites
each man in her life
as she's not ready to become a wife.
Ms Maybe
is a real Daisy
that turns shady
in the blink of an eye.
She's a one-of-a-kind flower
that transforms by the hour.
Goodbye lady who turns each admirer
and aspirer
into a perspirer.
Farewell Ms Maybe
whose heart has turned cold lately.
Hello Ms Steady
who is ready
to welcome her future baby daddy.

Did you know Albert Einstein married his cousin?
It's a topic that makes for interesting discussion.
And while it may engender some negativity,
it gives new meaning to the theory of relativity!

So this is where I'm bound to sleep
Just three feet wide and six feet deep
No shirt, no shoes, or even sox
Only me in my little box
So grab a shovel, lend a hand
And bury me in desert sand
I know that it's a boring job
Guess I shouldn't have robbed the Mob

Let me tell you of my friend Wheezer
Spent all day just trying to please her
When she strung him along
He felt something was wrong
Now she keeps his nads in the freezer

In my pool, what did I see
A shark fin circling me
Could this be an illusion
Or an actual intrusion
My circumstance became clearer
As the shark kept drawing nearer
I felt a sharp pain in my seat
Soon my tail looked like shredded meat
A shark's a shark, I can't blame him
Why did I have to learn to swim
I survived to talk about it
But now I have nowhere to sit
