2000-twenty
has just gotta be
the WORSTest indeed
with no end it seems
there's nothin i'm see-in
that gives hope or reason
to think this plagued season
is gonna be leavin'
it's certainly sure
there's more to endure
but BeGe’s Bees Knees
will beat those Chinese
they’ll grow strong and thrive
under our watchful eyes
‘cause they’ve got great genes
obviously!

DrummerBoy
original watercolor portrait/percussionist: 8" x 10"
Of Kings and Kingdoms
The Percussionist reigns
At the back of the stage
Looking over his subjects
In the rows down below
But those Winds never tow
As they do rightly know
That they have the means
To keep the pitch low
The Strings try to show
Their dominance, don’t ya know
While sitting at the toes
Of the Maestro’s looming pose...
Now a wise conductor knows
The music and musicians
Are the stars of his show

U. Chris
original watercolor portrait: 8" x 10"
don’t want knickknacks
don’t want toys
don’t need rich snacks
to enjoy
just stop by
and we’ll spend time
drinking tea
or glass of wine
catching up
on days gone by
which do look better
from behind!
Buy a Bertie Brown or two!

When Birds of Pray Fly Away
original watercolor hawks, birds of prey: 9" x 12"
my hawk-eyes are not
happy ‘bout all
this wind that we’ve got
they’re bending right down
their heads to the ground
praying I s’pose
for a break in the clouds
and i have to say,
this just happens way
too much i declare
on many fall days
so let’s have detent
for my birdy lot
wind, cold weather cease
desist and please STOP!

Ukers United
original watercolor ukulel convergence: 9" x 12"
there once was a girl named BB
who decided a ukulele
would be just the thing
to hasten on spring
now she’s strummin’ with Uke Uprising
yes it’s true that this girl named BB
once played horn in her town’s symphony
when she lost her good buzz
she took up uke cuzz
ukers don’t fret, they sing and they strum!
so come to the Ukulele
Uprising and surely you’ll see
that strumming the uke
with this friendly group
is great fun on Tuesday eve’nings

The Woman at the Well
original watercolor still life: 15" x 15"
High Maintenance
what ho!
i just want to know
where did the years go
and my body….also
oh
back in the day
i simply must say
hard work had a way
of keeping at bay
those inches that stay
in places that…hey!
i don’t like today
i’m feeling betrayed
hence this, my tirade
i cannot evade
old age, i’m afraid
this is my refrain
you’re young…i’ll explain
the fact does remain
it’s HARD to maintain…

2000-twenty
has just gotta be
the WORSTest indeed
with no end it seems
so I gotta say
it's gettin' to be
depressin' for me
i bet you'd agree
there's nothin i'm see-in
that gives hope or reason
to think this plagued season
is gonna be leavin
it's certainly sure
there's more to endure
so maybe I’ll just
hide out for a bit
and paint what i see
for a so-slight reprieve

a golden displays
devotion in ways
that please us, okay
‘cause doggie filled days

it's their favorite bit
don't ask them to quit
