~The Dragon Flies' Lair~Poetry Thread XXIV~
January 2, 2006 | bentfeather/Poets of the Lair

Posted on 01/02/2006 7:52:08 AM PST by Soaring Feather

My Dragon Fly and Me

If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!

By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone

On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guide
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and me...

And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...

Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

Is That All There Is?

I recall, I believe watching an old Dean Martin Show way back when and hearing, I believe, Peggy Lee, perform this song.

It moved this then teenager to pen a tune I called, "Yesterday" which was promptly stolen by Brian Epstien and was later recorded by a little British pop group, I forget their names...anyway,

That's all there is. For now.

I always loved Peggy Lee, talented lady.



So Unc, you authored that song and they ripped it off huh?
Insulting at best. Not to mention you could have been a millionaire. Yikes.

You've probably had baby limas.

Butterbeans are the BIG boys of limas.

Well, I tried... see what ya think..




To President George W. Bush
A Purification Ceremony

Well, Sir, I heard they took some water from the river
(cause the water’s holy to them)
splashed it around the temple where you had been.

They said it wasn’t you who bothered them
‘twas those danged sniffer dogs
you brought to them.

I suppose if they came here
and dragged a cow with them into
the National Cathedral in Washington
(cause cows are holy to them)
and our guys hung cowbells on them
just to keep tract of them
while they wandered round the isles
into the Apse, swinging their tails
with holy glee
while letting go with a pee
we might get just a little bit angry!

So, dear Mr. President we have a dilemma
Holy Cows, and Holy Water
your sniffer dogs caused a national shame,
do cultures really mix, I wonder.

Shoes gotta come off
in our churches we keep ‘em on
we have Holy Water , too
but no Holy Cows in our midst
(at least that I’m aware of)
we have a Cross,
where a sacrificial lamb did die.
Rose from the grave in triumphant praise.

I guess I can’t be too, smart alecky with this
it touches too, many rituals
close to so many.
Any way Mr. President, thank you
for being the good man you are.
