Neville Johnson May 2022
When I was young I dreamed of love
Who would she be?
When would she arrive?
Where would we meet?

As I grew older my hopes did smolder
But I carried on
I had many lovers
But never discovered
The one who would be the one

The years rolled by
The tears did not dry
Where oh where could she be?
Unsatisfied, I still tried to believe
She would come to me

This is a story that has no end
For now she is with me
We got together
I’m talking forever
This I know and believe

Yes, dreams and wishes come true
Before you know it tomorrows become yesterdays
And everything turns out OK

It’s an eight second partnership
The bronc, an angry participant
And me, I’m just trying to keep my legs in the stirrups
My hands on the reins
My wits about me
In one piece
Welcome to my world
It’s a family affair
Me and my sons, Troy and Dusty
Traveling day and night just to fight
For a living, one unforgiving
But exciting as the day is long
And to keep that ranch in Utah going
200 head of cattle and worries about enough rain
Are in our thoughts as we live the literal ups and downs of rodeo
We’re in the saddle for good
For life
Living our destiny
As we should
As we want to
As we have

The difference she’s made
Loved this sad sack of a man
Into a winning dude
Grumpiness left
What a success
Life finally arrived
We hooked up together
It’s so much better
We do it in style
Yes, the difference she’s made
Now I behave
Doing so willingly
She showed up
Once she did
Finally I arrived

The plane is landing
What new adventures await
Let’s explore this city
Let’s stay up late
Let’s kiss in public
To let everyone know
We’re a couple of lovers
Who can’t say no
To a good time
With intimacy
We’re on our way
My baby and me

I’ve got the night beat
This is my town
Come with me
I get around
I know the clubs
Got friends everywhere
Know where the lovers park
We could go there
But first its time for a bite
At the Elbow Room
Cool jazz with some chard
Then we Zoom to the palace on the alley
The decor I swear is something to die for
From there, we go cruising down the boulevard
You and me with the top down in my Firebird
Yes I’ve got the night beat
You’re coming with me
The evening is young
So are we
Neville Johnson Apr 2022
We watch in horror at the inhumanity
Death and destruction, so many pleas for
Help that doesn’t come
Please!
What’s it gonna take to stop this from going on?
The world sits on its hands
We must not let the Ukraine fall
Prayers and guns for sure are helpful
But that’s not all
Let’s go NATO, stand tall!
Bosnia, Rwanda, Syria, just to name a few
Are reminders of what happens
When the world ignores the call
Humanity is being challenged
Build this needed wall

Dream vacation
Meant to be
This isn’t no dream
But reality
Fun and suds
Surf and sand
Me and the babe
Holding hands
Sun and mirth
Mai Tais and beer
Living the dream
Me and her
We disappear
Into the sunset
Into the night
So jocular
We never fight
Rather we smooch
Hold each other tight
On this dream vacation
Doin’ just right
