The child with a weird expression
Made a terrible impression
No smile upon his face
Except for an ugly grimace
Not his fault however
Hated squishy peas forever
Wouldn’t eat them ever.

Charlie was one of those always muttering, pretentious, seemingly flustered guys, who liked to argue, but ended up barking mad if you didn’t acquiesce to his opinions. The office personnel avoided him at all costs, never wanting to press their own point of view since inevitably it did not agree with Charlie’s.
The other occupants of the call center were able to tumble a friendly opinion with their steady customers, banter a bit about politics and the weather, but Charlie was as stubborn as an immovable block of granite.

I think too many people surmise
Being an owl, I’m supposed to be wise
Things are not always as they appear
So let me tell you what you should fear
If you gaze at me and see
Just another bird in a tree
You’re the one who’s wise, not me.

He steadied the oars and sat there drifting. Afraid to be seen or make any disturbance, he leaned back in the small boat, contemplating how he could manage it.
She was there, he felt her presence even this far away. Thinking he could send a message for her to meet him on a night like this, might work, maybe they could be together. It would only be temporary and they both wanted more.
He sat up and rowed back to his side of the shore. Separated by much more than water, he tied up the boat and once again went to sleep discouraged.
A musical offering from Neil Diamond. I believe every word he writes!❤️

They say love is fleeting
At my age I think it is life
Yesterday I was holding, breastfeeding my three month old in a ’66 mustang on a two thousand mile nonstop trip to visit my parents. A short time later I’m holding his three month old daughter, and the living room surrounds us with grown children, husbands, wives, and grandchildren. Time is ephemeral. Love is not.

Voices in forests
May speak of the dangers near
Little ears perk up
Should they flee, or stand stock still
Inflection from parents tell

I think this isn’t nonsense at all
In fact I seem to recall
Someone here, possibly Fandango
Who provided meaning to this jangle
Why, it’s obvious at least to me
Just look at any news you can see
He’s always there unfortunately
Talking stupid repeatedly
I think you too, know of whom I write
The top, head honcho speaking spite
Sitting, tweeting in his white palace
Spreading around his personal malice.
Guava lemon iced tea and a free sample of the new Tie dye Frappuccino! Yes, I am spoiled rotten!
