Here is one to “old man dreams”
that we just wrote today, Grandpa
And I and the “Guardian Angel”…….
Dreams, Old Dreams, is a funny old man-
For you never, never can tell0
Which of his dreams, when the night time comes,
HE…..IS BRINGING TO YOU……TO SELL!
It may be a dream, of the “Hellava” time
When Herrman crossed the divide-
Then…durried home….tho no [...]

The moon is shining bright tonight-
Remembering a dream-
And I wish I was in TEXAS-
Fort Worth, or Abaline!
The radio says its RAINING-
An I know very well-
That every road in TEXAS
Is SLIPPERY as hell!
Down there in Mighty DALLAS-
The POLICEMEN STAND AROUN’-
When KENNEDY tried to just ride by-
They let em SHOOT HIM DOWN!
It took six seconds in Texas-
To [...]

Oh, painter of pictures, and singer of songs,
And…..weaver of golden dreams……
Come back to me, from years that are glown-
Come back, on memories road to Home-
In the gold, of that old “Yellow Sky”.
When we came where lies the grave
Where subtle SHELLY slept-
Poetry, just bowed her head-
Paused an hour…….and wept.
When we came, where lies the grave,
Wher subtle [...]

Like a dancer left in the HALL alone
By his Danceing Friends forgotten-
So i walked alone on the streets today,
In the lonely town of Rockham.
I saw the DRUG STORE, and the BANK;
I even found the door
Where DOCTOR SEEMAN had his office-
When I was young and poor!
Like a town seen through a broken pane-
Where had the buildings [...]

The all say a FRIEND IS GONE!
And everyone seems to care!
Since CAL has left, and stays no more,
In the “yellow-dog-house” there!
They tell and tell how poor CAL died!
Went away alone, WITHOUT FEAR!
And seldom tell of the things he did,
When he was with us here!
For fifty years he tried to make
Some little corner bright!
And he helped [...]

Youth is just a little while-
Age, is long and dim!
Shelly kept his laughing youth-
She lies there yet…..with him.
Poetry knows all these songs-
As the winds that roam!
Every note will cry and call-
ON THE ROAD TO HOME.

There was an Old House, painted brown;
Close by the graveyard, north of town;
Where they corraled the BOYS to sell THEIR HAPPY DAYS, for the Gates to Hell!
And, I had a PAL, in days gone by;
He lays there now, beneath that sky;
He can LEAVE HIS GRAVE, now anytime,
And WALK to the Whorehouse, feeling fine!
At school he [...]

When She came
Where lies the grave
Where lonely Shelley slept-
poetry just bowed her head-
paused an hour-
and wept
gather up the golden dreams-
play the songs to me-
walk forever down the road-
silence- close- the – door!
sun and wind and summer rain-
leaves that can’t forget-
by the grave where Shelley sleeps-
She paused- an hour-
and – wept

Present Day
It was the first Monday in weeks when I was not in office before ten. As I saw the frosted sundial of my old citizen ticking eleven thirty, I cursed myself for the umpteenth time for choosing that insurance company. I found out that the other companies did not require so many tests after [...]

It was early in December,
They had gathered out of fear,
As the bombs were falling ’round them, cries of terror filled each ear,
And they saw the buildings falling,
And they watched the people die,
And they heard the women screaming and they saw the children cry.
As the skies were turning hazy,
With the smoke of blast and fire,
They were [...]
