THE BEST ONES

 

The people most important to you

The ones you care about and love

Are taken from you all too soon

Taken from us to heaven above

 

And all the people you don’t care about

Just never seem to go away

And those whom you positively hate

Seem to be permanently in the way

FUDGE

 

Fudge could be a metaphor

For the family

A confection which

Describes it neatly

An occasional fruit

But just sweet mostly

And assorted nuts

Completes the fudge family

THE MIGHTY OAK

 

The mighty oak

Is a universal symbol

A Representing of strength

both solid and dependable

 

The mighty oak

That stands today

Is simply a nut

That held its ground yesterday

MAXIMS INCOMPLETE

 

Women, you can’t live with them

All's well that ends

A penny saved is a penny.

Don't leave things unfinishe

What goes up

If it aint broke don’t

A bird in the hand is

Never do today

THE BLACK DOG

 

For years I have suffered

At the hands of depression

I’m not alone in my suffering

Many others have this affliction

Winston Churchill had a name for it

“Black dog” he named his miasm

I’ve come to think of mine

As anger without enthusiasm

IN GOD WE TRUST

 

Have faith

In the being from afar

Trust in God

But lock your car.

BEAUTIFUL VENUS

 

Beautiful Venus

Goddess of love

Turner of heads

Nurturer of hearts
