"THE MANY LOVES OF A SIMPLE MAN"

The simple man has many loves
They are usually of simple things
He loves the rains that fall year round
He loves the flowers that bloom in spring
He loves The wind that blows in the fall
He loves the snow that falls in winter
He loves the moon that shins at night
He loves the stars that fill the sky
He loves a girl with a beautiful smile
He loves it when she sings
He loves the children she gave to him
He loves the joy they bring
He loves to play his guitar, on a summer's eave
He loves listening to the radio, and the Great Gildersleeve
He loves Amos and Andy, and the grand Old Opry to
He loves his brand new Chevrolett, and driving down the street
He loves going to church on Sunday, and singing in the quire
His name is Joe American, He is a very proud man
He served his Country during the war, on an island called Saipan
He earned a lot of metals that he wares upon his chest
He's like a hundred Million other guys, that live in this land
His Name Is (JOE AMERICA) and he dose what he can.

----Danny,

I forgot to thank you for this one Danny, thanks 8)

to not write a word
for some politically correct
for some just absurd
to spare the slow learner
from a face meets deck
some could remark
as slow as they are
it wouldn't have at all
the most desired effect
perjorative about the fall
approbative to hope that change
can really affect one and all
learning while those slow learners
show off how they can fall
wishing it to stop
while tip toeing around their gall
must politically correct this
'cause from the beginning
saw writing on the wall

are watching sand speeding

like a future sun shown?
when it is a morning for all,
perhaps then, only then.

(had to add those last words Riley, couldn't think of where to go, lol.)

rock and rollers mantra ( while they're young, ha )

just a rock and roll warrior
built to thrill, not to fight
touring every world city
for music lovers insight

rock and rollin' all evenin'
stayin' up through the night
likes hot sex in the mornin'
when his girl ain't uptight

stayin' drunk as a skunk
flyin' high as a kite
play's guitar like a heathen
every Saturday night

to church then on Sunday
to ask the Lord "shine loves light"
on his knees prays for mercy
keep his loved ones alright

just a rock and roll warrior
armed with musical might
saves the world with his songs
sonic star, rainbow bright

try this again
Christmas, add 1 line or 15, variations of lines, stay close to "The Night Before Christmas" poem but different or not so different if it fits, you know. here's my version of a start:

t'was some nights before Christmas
round the Forum, Fenders Lounge
not a byte of info was traveling
not a light blinking
not even a mouse clicking
anywhere in this guitar house

gig bags hanging
by the loading doors there
spirits of Leo and George
watch us with love and care
The IT team were nestled all snug in their beds
While visions of terabyte servers danced in their heads

with the Stratocaster in its hard-case
and the Telecaster on its stand
Fender offices lights switched to dimmer
computers moved to hibernate for
an overdue rest on this winters night

Christmas 2011
Santa's Beard Tangled Round His Tele's Neck.
The old Guy must have fallen asleep, What the heck!
Wake Up Santa There's Work to be done. Presents need wrapping.
So lets have some fun. All you grandmas and grandpas gather round.
We can wrap presents until the sun gose down. Then we can play our guitars, all into the night. Until the sun comes up big and bright. Then we can relax with a cup of Joe. and catch someone under the mistletoe. I kissed grandma on her cheek and now she's blushing Red as santa's coat. Then she smiled at me, I got a lump in my throat.
This whole Christmas thing is a wonderful deal. It's all about the things that are real.
Lets see, there is LOVE & Family & Friends. There's Little kittens & Puppy Dogs, There's Little pet turtles & little frogs, There's beautiful Christmas Trees and wonderful toys, for all the good little girls and boys. There's Delicious Roast Beef or Christmas Ham or Turkey or Duck with all the fixens. And lets not forget the Christ Child, After all according to many its his Birthday party. I don't know if that's really true. I guess thats up to you and you and what you believe. I think my favorite is Christmas Eve, or is it Christmas Morning. Oh well it doesn't really mater its all Christmas And I love it.
Happy holidays everyone.
----Danny,

forgot about this one, then this morning thought I'd try to remember to count again.

awoke this morning counting,
blessings that have been mounting,
in my heart though not in order,
so, organize thought, I oughta.
then, other peoples voices,
not counting blessings,
counting other choices,
things they wouldn't or that didn't,
or, couldn't or that isn't.
not blessings or thoughts
that they did want to have,
better thoughts to think about
and to count as theirs,
a hug or kiss.
an expression of love.
the world's sun and moon,
shine from above,
turning around,
not turning down,
helps you keep steady
on the shaky ground,
of life's changing reality,
lets you change the sound,
vibrations if you will
in syncopation going round.
the critics voices seemed to mount,
self importance, critical mass now, on their count.
I know better's and me not you's,
to start the complaint departments views.
then I stopped to think about my count,
the blessings in a messy mount,
I had forgot to put in order, so
I'd better get back to work counting
not crossing over the "forgetful" border

then I saw
a thread titled "love"
this sudden flaw
a fitting Forum glove

with those lovely eyes
and the prettiest nose
enamored of her
most catching smile
I'm glad she has one of those

soft blush of her cheek
gentle rouge on her lips
aphrodisia is she
from the top of her head
to her little toes tips

so, let's talk about it
well, you've thought about this
and then you'll have to see if
there will be some more riffs

I wrote a song, but lost the paper it was written on :/

Actually, I just found it. It's decent, but it'd have to sound the way I'd want it to, or you people might over scrutinize it.

written on paper
little lost song
but I wrote it
was a note list-
ed
under
"songs to not be lost"
because
it's actually decent
people might like the sound
I'd have you over to scrutinize
my song that's just found
is it the way to want it
or the way it oughtn't be
we're far to imperfect
for the likes of scrutiny

hmm, reluctance to write
to invoke the unwillingness right
like days disinclination to night
or darkness aversion to light

if thoughts are those
perhaps expressed in prose
this different method to pose
obvious as in front of ones nose

trying just to say
be that as it may
for free won't have to pay
like a sculptor molding clay

what will the object be
will it display objectively
thoughts to words cohesively
passion for life conducively


to give up, but, "hope springs eternal"
or as a Scot once said "he who lives on hope lives on a very lean diet"
I have been losing some pounds lately, lol (lots of love) :)

Fly, I Must

Fly, I must, like a bird on the wind

Leaving the nest for the first time

With such wings,so weak, never been used

Fluttering through the air ungracefully.


Fly, I must, like a bird on the wind

Leaving the nest to hunt for food

Soaring through the air with great ease

Catching mice for food in the field.


Fly, I must, like a bird on the wind

Leaving the nest for the last time

Gracefully floating on the breeze

Towards my awaiting Destiny.


TRW, I didn't put the two together until now, lol. The fourth day of a new year and couldn't think of a line to save my soul. Then I thought, read some posts perhaps. Your poem above is an inspiration and I see you, are you. Thanks for this. My soul will have to wait for another day but I was inspired to find from a few pages back this critique from a friend that tweaked my psych at the time because she was right and it's always been hard for me to admit I should give in sometimes. To her, I give in and not reluctantly will be more understanding.

she said, "now is the time"
"c'mon think of a rhyme"
"if you won't do one on demand"
"you know, a rhyme that can stand"
"on its own, a memorable brand"
"if not now when is the time"?
once again she is calling me out
on my rhymes casting a doubt
first emotion felt in my mind
"why does she tweak me all of the time"?
then thought, "might be she's write this time"
"if I can't think of a memorable riff"
"its just a waste of a usable giff"
tweaked I felt 'cause I wasn't rehearsing a song
I was staring at the TV for too long
so
in days of old when Vikings were bold
before paper cups had been invented
Vikings drank their beer
from the skin of a deer
after it had sufficiently fermented

ok, that last part's not "mine" really
but she doesn't know that (now she does :oops: )

from jumper cables to Aesops fables
from alpha to zeta and mythical tales
start writing words if all else fails
toss out a term onto the table
a name a title perhaps a label
a color red or blue or orange or sable
if it seems a bit quirky or a little unstable
come back when to make more sense you are able

thanks for the inspiration Buxom:

good for you to like writing songs
after all when remarkable thoughts come along
you can write them down on paper or
record them for the throng
just don't keep them a secret
as would the ancient tong
let us all hear them if you will
by and by and make your prong
keep them thoughtful
from the heart and
play them loud and strong
one by one then
saving the the world with your songs
