Tuesday

photograph


to take a picture
a fraction of a second
a moment in time

cowboy


you’ve lassoed my heart
and hogtied my soul even-
still it felt quit nice

birthday boy


oh it’s my birthday
cake and presents just for me
now here comes my song

paisley


paisleys on a girl
like an earring and a pearl
they fit together

lollypop


a lollypop swirl
mister Burton would be proud
a strange boy for sure

jazz


give me that sweet jazz
dizzy G and Charlie P
some scat for the soul

flowers


she’s so beautiful
and with flowers on her dress
she dances the stage

albert


albert loved to lean
leaned so much he bent his spleen
turned from nice to mean

jimmy


victim of a burn
jimmy’s hair left at age two
and never returned
