Play Away
it’s really okay
to chill out and play
we all know we should
(that is understood)
but still we forget
and totally get
ourselves in fun debt
we think if we could
buy us some fun
then surely we would
feel wonderf’ly good

there once was a sunflower patch
it’s beauty could never be matched
yet finches so fair
and bees feasting there
ate up till those tall stalks were bare

Chicken Tricks
You cannot be chicken
If you do some paintin'
Unless you are thinkin’
You’d like a good lickin’
‘Cause that paint can become
some unwelcome mud
and the work you just did
goes right into the bin

now the mulish said
to his buddy by his stead
why can’t we simply try
to lay our views aside
let’s get along today
‘cause that’s the better way
to live in peace and harmony
will benefit us all you see

The Goodbye Girls

Ackkk!
the sun’s in retreat
giving me the cold shoulder
our summer romance
is apparently over
gone are the sundrops
warming my face
menacing shadows
have taken their place
cobalt blue breezes
rustle about
autumn is coming
of that there’s no doubt
my sunflowers are ruined
their beauty in tatters
seeds, petals, leaves
lie tossed about, scattered
i notice the dance
of those spurious squirrels
as they snatch the remains
of my golden sun girls
more quickly than ants
at a picnic, they advance
and I thought that finches
were sunflower grinches!
now I’m left all alone
‘neath a dry, crumbling wall
where my sunflowers had stood
majestic and tall
so my task is to wait
for this fact I hold dear
they’ll be back next year
with more summertime cheer!

Cavalier about Cheer
my sunspotted girls
have got to admit
they long for a world
where they could just sit
they’ve got but one shoe
though it’s a great fit
a minute without it
would help quite a bit
their long leggy-ness
can cause some back strain
a slight dizzy-ness
and dull aching pain
but stand there they do
displaying such cheer
for one month or two
this time of the year
it’s quite cavalier
and exhausting, I fear
but sunnies don't care
'cause they like to share!

Conch en Fa
There once was seashell named Conch
Who was lonely and displeased with his lot
So he puffed out his cheek
Buzzed a low mellow screech
Now he’s part of the rock group “Conch-crete”
