Lucy just found out that she must enter a baking contest
But Lucy wants to impress the Judge’s being her guest
She needs help and it is Ethel at her request
Lucy broadly states, “I have a plan”
Something is always at her command
Lucy tells Ethel since you know how to bake, it will be your oven in the bake
I will be the winner in the take
What Lucy cooks you don’t want to know
But lets continue on with the show
Lucy and Ethel are busy in the kitchen with their bake
The judge’s have arrived early, but is it too late?
Lucy entertains the Judge’s in her living room with Ethel
Suddenly there was a smell of burned smoke
The guest were beginning to choke
Lucy and Ethel immediately ran to the kitchen as the cake was slightly
Burned and went flat
Judge’s eyes raised with amazed and thinking, what was that?
Lucy being saddened by the surprise
She was now caught in her own realize
As we leave Lucy to think, it was an effort in try and Lucy being alone in her own cry.

Quiet on the set
Ready, Action
Conversation could have that much impact
But the movie set doesn’t want that effect
The script calls for numerous explosions
It requires the stuntman to be set on fire and leap from the roof of a building
Emergency crews are standing at the bottom being ready to put out the fire
A car is scheduled to go out of control
There were flips and turns
The car even exploded being like a cremation urn
But the stuntman was an experienced car driver and knew what to do
Anybody else wouldn’t have any clue
The car ignited into flames
The flames were all over the stuntman
A fire extinguisher became in demand
The stuntman had to go through action and movement on cue by the Director
The script was fully detailed
Yet safety measures were put into place in case some things fail
Hollywood making the stuntman
The stuntman having no fans
However the Stuntman being behind the background in high demand
Without the Stuntman, there is no movie production throughout the land
So the Stuntman and Stuntwoman are who make Hollywood the action in adventure the caravan.

The colorful lighted Rockefeller Center Christmas tree
Thousands of tourist who want to see
Radio City Music Hall with the Rockette’s heels in the air
New York City at Christmas time, which no other city can compare
The department stores with their individual window Christmas Themes
The philosophy of Christmas in knowing what it means
I just got a news bulletin that Santa has been seen wearing a business suit
It wasn’t the red and white
It was Santa looking like an Executive in pinstripe and had a handkerchief like a handiwipe and was smoking a pipe
It was a superior brand from Saks
However let me think back
There was some assortment with both Bergdorf and Saks
Santa was seen shaking hands with the Mayor Of New York
This was a sight too see
But this is between the reporter and me
Yes it was Santa with a whole new business attitude
But there was a candy cane pin attached to his lapel on his suit
That was an attire to sweeten a business deal to pursuit
I can’t believe Christmas is almost here
Everything will be hung with special loving care
Those misfortunate will surely get a share
Christmas in New York City
Coldness in your nose
A look on your face as a perhaps in suppose
Then a surprise of a Christmas ornament engraved with your name
Special preparation being the aim
Look its snowing and lets have a game
Our hearts filled with joy and our minds concentrated on tame
As the sun goes down
The night becomes with all the stars around
A night to fall asleep and eyes closed in a sandman’s trap of bound
Finally sleeping with quiet and nowhere is a sound.

A Salvation test that the Lord puts us through
Observing commitment that’s due
Struggles as there will be many
Trusting being the key as the main any
It’s the eyes on the harmony praise
A passing storm being a preparation moment
Salvation is something the world needs
The added prayers in helping us to proceed
Corruption at the door of a discerning Christian soul
But it is the marvelous of God in behold
The purpose of trial and tribulation is your salvation in keeping up the pace
The whole concept is too stay in the salvation race
Struggles being a way of life
But it is the Almighty with the promise of strive
God always has his eyes on you
This is what carries us through
The trial being where your salvation stands
The tribulation designed by God at his command
Consequences in making your faith strong
Having deliverance in knowing where you belong
The sacrifice of one’s commitment
Conditions that apply
Now give salvation a try
You will come from darkness into the light
You will be able to handle the world and not feel uptight
Trials and God being the judge
With a little coaching you will eventually budge.

The Pastor and I was carrying a Navy Blue Cloth
The entire congregation followed
There was no singing and talking
We got to this wooden shed
We laid the navy blue cloth on what seemed like a wooden bed
The Pastor announced, “This blue cloth can’t be with us and this is a must”
Then the Pastor, myself and congregation walked back from where we started prior
As we walked, the Pastor and congregation stopped to pray
However there was a relay
Then my eyes became focused, and I noticed my Grandmother on the side decked out in white
Later I stated to my Grandmother, “You are part of this also”
I was then blessed to wake up with full of praises that made me be spiritual caught up
Even though this was a dream
It was my subconscious being the stream.

You have now acquired a certain amount of skills
Now show the world your talent fits the bill
Make it in demand at your command your will
Put your mind in control
Just observe and behold
Your are the essence of a upcoming commodity
Never sell yourself short as you are definitely part of society
Thinking positive is the aim word
What I have been saying you have already heard
Your life is far more than a pebble
It’s determination arriving at able
Your thinking is solid as a rock
Negativity will try to mock
Don’t open the door as just let it continue to knock
Words being like a compiling inventory stock
Your inspiration is within your soul
Your reflection in the horizon in behold
Follow your dreams
It may seem like streams
Your mount will be the masterpiece I have been talking about
The labors of victory
Now go out and create your own history.

God performed on me in being a miracle
Doctors suggested Death and God simply said you have time left
Death was a prerecorded message the Doctor’s own observation
But God said, “Life with breath is what I put in”
It’s enriched spiritual living that will begin
I am the Lord that says when
It’s the everlasting in eternity at the end
I have cried many times in my struggles
Jesus signaled me out that I am of his chosen one’s
My faith is what keeps me among
Jesus will always be number one
He died on the cross and defeated Death
The time clock is ticking, and the unbeliever doesn’t have much time left
As a servant of God, I will stand
I want to walk in God’s caravan
But once again, I am a witness who has experienced the spiritual Christ Voice
I opened my heart and it became my choice
My platform, “I will stand for the Lord”
He is someone everyone needs to explore
It is the Devil you need to ignore
Follow me to the Christian faith
Worship should not be on Easter alone
It’s everyday reading of the Bible what continues to be shown
It’s spiritual knowledge for us in what God has always known
A cry away is praises that stay
The shout of joy in what carries us everyday and in every way
Stand for your blessings and praises to your heart
Yes I am a witness and will continue to stand
God is righteous and he is worthy to his command
Spread the word and shout it loud
Heaven awaits and continual praises are allowed
You can believe on God’s promise
After all, God’s word is straight to the point and being honest
“Worship me now as I am your guide and protector. My many miracles
you will witness, and encourage one another. Continue to believe in me as your divine faith will be draw you closer to thee”.

Bleecker Street, a name associated with New York City in the section of Soho
But makes Bleecker Street many don’t know
Just what made Bleecker Street unique?
It’s straight out history is what makes the street complete
It was a Goldsmith shop
Just a gallop hop
The shop was the most famous on the block
The Goldsmith owner being Manny Strong
He was a man who knew how to get along
Mr. Strong was also a professional strongman
His strength was always in demand
Mr. Strong could bend bars to shape horseshoes
However, he could lift heavy weights and even horses himself
Now Manny Strong was ahead of his time, but not like everybody else
Mr. Strong was a valued Circus strongman being the star of the show
But a good glance of his physique was just follow the flow
He would often lift weights over his head
But he would often break chains instead
Mr. Strong had no trouble in getting a female date
But it always had to be a woman who could relate
It was Mr. Strong’s strength that was his build up
His massive muscles were his character in making female’s feel safe in his arms
Yet it was his confidence in don’t be alarmed
Mr. Strong was all strength in being a sturdy solid man
The call of his trade, a business man in demand
One of the strongest in the land
This was Manny Strong’s life that made Bleecker Street his caravan.

Faceless
Tasteless
Useless
No name
Not famous
No blame
Sorrow
No tomorrow
No morrow
Non-existence
Dreams all nightmares
Trouble within
No mixture nor blend
None
No pretend
Nothing
The end

Took a page from his mind in seeing never
It was his resolutions in lasting forever
It was a man’s idea in being clever
Solving a problem was simply like pulling a lever
He was given the name of Clever
It was how he solved situations
It was also how he spoke in discussions
A man’s recommendations with his mind
Using all the resources of reasoning combined
It was the name of Clever with a lasting promise
It was also a man’s heart in being honest
What’s in a name?
But who can blame
It was those resolutions being the aim
Clever who was were meant to be, and the possibilities everyone could see.

Perhaps the person behind wearing the hat
Before I continue, what do you think of that?
Yet a hat or cap can have its own individual story
Well I am heading for my inspiring glory
A picture can tell a thousand words
It becomes an entertaining affair
I know, I know, I must be fair
Sometimes there can be a picture of an actual bus
Me being a bus nut that would be an added plus
However, it’s the company trademark being an advertising appeal because exposure with a sample message from the hat, “Buy or Try” or “We got you covered”
Later you might wonder exactly what did you discover
It’s a mission the company instituted being a nonsense approach in getting your attention
You knew that was coming so I had to mention
Well there can also be magic in a hat
But why won’t that Rabbit appear?
In the meantime, let me continue as I preserver
Now with a wave of the wand and abracadabra, I have just made my thought completely disappear
I need your help, what were those magic words again?
Now I remember, at least I didn’t make myself disappear
I am still here
Now I am remember what we were talking about
It came back too me, we were talking about a story of a hat or cap in what story it tells
Well
Oh the power of suggestion
No, it is the theory of persuasion
I hope I given you the 411 of the hat or cap
Now you thought the hat was a put on and move on
True the hat is for your head where it belongs
So now, you will hat or cap with distinction in pride and the story it will generate
I hope it will be appreciate
What story is your hat telling today?

It was downtown Brooklyn being more than a place to shop
It was the annual MTA Bus Festival encouraging people to stop
There were buses of the past where people could board
Each bus having their own description and design their own accord
Yet along with the past buses were the present buses of look and observe
These buses do commuter runs every day
Moving people from any borough in every way
You can applaud as that is ok
Progress was made and there wasn’t settle for less
It was advancement at its best
But for the kids being buses surprise
Yet they had a learning experience beyond their realize
The kids even had the opportunity to take Pony rides
It was adventure being an experience the event would provide
Urban living with a rural environment flavor
This is something being a kid’s heart to savor
But there was more than just the Bus Festival
This was also an event called the Atlantic Antics being a street fair
Vendors for miles
Aroma of the Food senses being captivation while
I even had the opportunity to meet an Author who had written a book
I brought the book and had to glance with a look
So the Bus Festival and Atlantic Antics was a day of fun
I am glad I took the time to be among.

It was a letter written by a little child to St. Nick
It had to be at the North Pole pretty quick
The little child felt a certain toy had to be the right pick
The child wished on a falling star
He hoped that his wish would extend really far
But let the story in detail unfold
Come on in and look behind the curtain of told
Little John stated, “ I want a toy train set”
I want it to be my own train set no one has ever seen
Santa reading little John’s letter felt he would do the next best thing, he would give little John a personal ride on a real train, and he would be the only passenger aboard to visit me in the North Pole
This will be more than a wish
Little John was fast asleep, but Santa entered his bedroom, “Awaken, Awaken little John”
He awoke, but couldn’t believe Santa was actually standing there
Santa told little John we have a journey to the North Pole
The train was called, “WISHES DELIGHT”
The steam engine had turned on its headlight
The signal was given to “ALL ABOARD!”
The train started to pull out
It’s a Christmas joy with anticipation to shout
The steam was flying in the air and the train’s whistle could be heard in the distance
A little heart that can’t compare
Suddenly it starts to snow
The Christmas trees were all bowing from below
But the train had still miles to go and it was the North Pole bound being the flow
Travelling up steep hills and the mountains looking like movie stills
Yet the steam engine being determined in its own will
Finally a sight in a child’s eyes
NORTH POLE, but too a little child, “TOYLAND”
Little John steps off the train
It was his fascination that remained
Santa escorts little John into his workshop
There were many toys sitting on shelve tops
There were toys among toys, and there was plenty of them to give any child joy
Santa was constant thinking he must have little John home by midnight
But Santa was considerate and polite
Little John was amazed at Santa’s place
This was something Little John will never ever erase
Immediately following little John had fallen asleep
He was dreaming in my soul to keep
Stars all shining bright
They are telling everyone Merry Christmas and have a good night.

Cars, trucks and buses headlights that shined at night
Cutting through the fog in giving highway sight
Buses Flashing headlights to each other in saying Hello
All other motorist on the road just being another fellow
Yet the night lingered on
It was the dawn that seemed so long
The clouds that were hiding the moon
Another day that would be arriving soon
The vintage of numerous Motorist
Perhaps some could very well be tourist
Suddenly the highway dawn that was taking a peek
It was that anticipation of all in seek
Good Morning Motorist, a drive throughout the night
A journey that didn’t become a plight
Headlights that applauded the skies
Knowing the direction and reaching wise
Headlight night and thanks  for expanding the highway sight.

I heard your daily prayers
Your cries and frustrations reached Heaven
Your soul needs rest
Come up to Heaven where it will be best
You have always been my Faithful Worshipper
Your dedication and devotion in Faith remained strong
You are old and wise and you know where you belong
At that point, the flesh was left behind and the Mother’s soul was lifted up
Darkness turned into radiant light
It was the Mother’s strong salvation that always shined bright
Rainbows began to change to variations
Another Heaven Soul being the indication
A Mother’s Earth struggles had come to an end
But it would be replaced with praises in Heaven that would begin
The Mother raised high her arms and praised the Lord
A joyful sound under God’s accord
It was the captivation of devoted Faith
A Mother being old, but having everlasting in behold
To trust in always believe
The care that one would receive
Earth’s parallel, but it is always Heaven that will always tell.

A Male Stripper name “Hugo” performing large and in charge
It was more than his muscles in how they would marv
Women scream when he dances to perform
His Tool being a captivated look
But he makes the woman feel hot in his maneuver of shook
Hugo causes woman’s hearts to excite
But causes hot waves in the room to ignite
It’s his moves beyond compare
The name extra large in Hugo in beware
As the lights dim and a massive figure appears
Sweat could be seen on the woman’s faces
Desires thongs that don’t erase
The entertainment just continues to excite
As if it was a runway also causes woman to take flight
An evening in putting women on the spot
Movements that just doesn’t stop
It’s Hugo Extra Large doing his thing and being the king at center stage at the top.

Let’s think on Rochdale Politics for a moment
10 Board Of Directors seats that need to be enriched filled
It’s time for a change and not defeat
We can’t let the current Board think we the Valued Cooperators are just plain weak
A sunrise should have an enriched blend
We can’t let Rochdale’s future look like its coming to an end
If you are like me, you want new resources to begin
If you don’t vote, you simply can’t complain
Otherwise business as usual that will truly remain
Our cause must have an effect
But it is up to us cooperators in being the elect
Voting requires movement
So come out in the multitudes
Make Rochdale a home of comfort in being soothe
The current Board has nothing left to prove
You have seen their response and heard their words
They don’t want we the cooperators to ever be heard
Utterance can’t be continued tolerance
Be proud with dignity and honor in where you live
Embrace and encourage with inspiration in give
True Leadership with assurance
We are the Cooperators and we do have influence
We have endured enough
Let’s call the current Board out being their bluff
The key words are enough is enough
Voter while you are yet able
If you don’t, we will live in being disenabled
The choice is truly yours
Move forward, but no time to look back
Follow true results being the right track
Once again, it’s multitudes with the force being include
Vote for a real change, and a new day being finally a new arrange.

The house that had a past
A curse placed that would last
Evil spirits that were out for revenge
A house with a history having constant revolving transcend
It was the previous owners that had the house
Someone close had died no a questionable fortune
It was the stork being a huge mouse
Blood being marked at the door
There is sure within the explore
Ghostly visits that one couldn’t ignore
Witchcraft surrounding the entire house
Spells of all kinds could be seen
But what does all this really mean?
Death to many who enter, but torment to others who don’t get out
Desperation screams in what I am talking about
Dying in vengeance taking its course
Yet the magic is empowering the force
One can only wait
It’s a date with fate
A house with a pass may already be too late
The spirits call with a message for all
“A curse that will remain, and to all future owners of the house will have the mark of the blood stain”.

Man’s wishes
God who carries the blessings
People in the natural wish for materialistic wonders like money, clothes, a car, a career and the list goes on
But the gift that the world needs is the gift of Christ who keeps all individuals strong
Every day sustaining, understanding, overcoming and living life more abundantly
However in order to receive any gift from Christ, one must be in the asking and praying would be the ultimate step
This is no secret being well kept
There isn’t any confidentiality when it comes to the Christ
One must believe in the Holy being
It means justification within one’s inner emotions in change beginning
Christmas is much more than gift giving
The birth of Jesus in being Joy to the world
It is about sharing of your self in bringing hope to a loss soul who doesn’t know Christ
Hope is what one should expect and prosperity in the living
Christ is our advisor
He is the Love that was given upon the world
Christ should be the story of every one’s life
The creator of life and Prince of Peace
So if you feel loss this holiday season
Christ is here today, tomorrow and well into the future
Turn unity into everlasting
I want to share my testimony
I have told my story many times, but there is no reason I can’t tell it again and again
Death knocked hard at my living door
Doctors suggested a Funeral for me for my family to explore
But Christ stated Death you could ignore
This all happened when I was just a little babe as a new born
I was still in my yond
But of complications from Asthma, Doctors stated I would only live to 7
Well Behold
I am 59 years old, and God spared me, and I will be 60 years old on February 2, but if God lets me see it
So Christ is my every day gift
If you are going through something, you don’t have to suffer alone
What God did for me, he can also do for you
All you have to do is ask
Christ is the institution, but always has the plan of resolutions
So at the holiday season, let Christ be your reason for your own revelation
But today don’t let it be a hesitation
Let my testimony be your indication
I hope during the holiday, I have encouraged you in some way
But don’t delay
Christ is waiting for you today and fulfill throughout in every way.

Ships upon ships in a watery county
Captains attempting in maneuvering their ships all from the bounty
The stormy skies with wind, which Heaven was in charge
The seas rocking all ships
Heaven voice of lighthouses being their tip
Deeper and deeper ships go in a disastrous dip
The open seas being their own Sea God
No voice with speech can actually say
The sea wave’s move in having their way
Yet the high sea waves in their sound
Questionable moments in a rocky bearing bound
Many ships of the past perished on the seas
I seem to remember a courageous ship only known as LADY LOUISE
It was a ship that did survive
There was adventure and true guidance that helped the ship to strive
The shortest of times
What is actually kept in the mind?
The seas will continue on the journey of derive
The theory of seas behave under who controls
A praising voice looking for that behold
But Heaven above and the superiority one with the majesty name to think of
A ship is mainly the craft meant for the sea
But no one really knows the reason, as it is the holy one called thee
Waves and seas were created beyond men’s understanding what nature can establish
Seas upon seas in knowing how to ride the wave and to see beyond how the lighthouse guides
It’s Heaven alone with its own special stride.

High School marching bands in Philadelphia marching through Broad Street

Then it is either fireworks of confetti or announcement are you ready?
But surprises to the audiences being pure fun
But we are nowhere near done
March on as the Mummer’s do
It’s a competition all High School bands must go through
It all orginates in the city of Brotherly Love
All the earmarks for one to think of
The Band Leader with the shoulder shrug
A Kodak moment in capturing the Bands being souvenir mug
Razzle and Dazzle under the entertainment lights
To the audience a pure delight
Now you know who the Mummer’s are
Let’s march together, but a reminder, the distance will be far.

The gift for a Toy bus from a far
The Tot prayed and hoped for Santa
The Tot’s heart wanting joy to enter
The Tot got back in bed
Dreamed into a deep sleep
A toy bus the Tot helped to keep
Santa was working on the Tot’s request
But only the North Pole could contest
Yet the Tot slept with the toy bus on his mind
Dream on Dream on
The next morning being Christmas Day, the Tot looked under the Christmas tree, but there wasn’t any toy bus
The Tot felt disappointed that Santa didn’t come through
Perhaps, there was going to be a surprise
There was a knock at the Tot’s house door
Standing in front was a Greyhound Bus Driver with a Greyhound Bus outside
The Greyhound Bus Driver said, “I have a telegraph for Thomas Anderson, the little Tot special delivery

There’s more to the eye than writing being formed from a hamburger patty
Words being the prime ingredient
Sentences line by line of aroma sent
What’s cooking from the cookbook of your mind?
Careful preparation being the understanding
The thought coming directly from the writing ***
A capture aiming for your head in being the plot
It’s a theory having or not
The reader meeting the poet
The sentences in helping you know it
A be our guest approach
A choke on words being a joke
The Poet’s voice has spoken
You the reader have been chosen
The Poet being the Shake and Bake, and the reader being how well can they relate
As Poet’s, they arrange writing continuously being a date
The ideas in thoughts never late
It’s the moment of satisfaction in having the reader appreciate.

What happens when Bodybuilders retire from the sport?
No more lifting heavy weights
It was a sport any Bodybuilder did appreciate
The muscles will now become extinct
General fitness the key becoming unique
No more being muscle bound
Intensity will no longer be the sound
But a retired Bodybuilder will still be around in the background
Perhaps becoming a Personal Trainer in upcoming new bodybuilders
The chore of dieting for a contest no more
New Frontiers to explore for sure
But then again, perhaps pose one last time
A heart for the Bodybuilding sport still combined
A retired Bodybuilder you won’t find doing *******
That I am pretty sure
A retired Bodybuilders waist will adjust in size
But will still be energized
Too some that might be a surprise
Talk to a retired Bodybuilder and you will realize
A retired Bodybuilder will still inspire throughout
Now that is what Bodybuilder is all about.

Past romance that was in the air
Words of endure being love to share
Each love letter was put into a secrete treasure chest
The word love became my own logo crest
A matter of for better or less
It’s that remembrance of that embracing kiss
The fireworks circulating in my mind that can’t be missed
Writing love letters back to back
My treasure chest is full of love letters being a stack
Personalities that were a match for one another
Jack and Jill are still in love like no other
My hidden letters encouraging me in continuing on in the love
Two loves on everlasting journeys like doves.

Viewers came to see if my Death was really true
It was more than a funeral and more of a slew
The clouds have opened wide and became my cloth curtain
Yet one that is certain
Heaven called and I answered
Remember me on my humor and writing style
Speaking one on one in making you think while
My captivation being about me
The multitudes for all to see
My spirit has left my body
I am only meaty flesh
This is all I have left
My clock has become a stopwatch
My life that accelerated in 22 catch
However time moved on
It was time destined in where I belong
I leave you only for a short while
Not my making but Heaven’s style
Remember me for me
Any misunderstandings please let be
This is my moment to be with thee
Think on how my writings inspired you
Remember is the determination for you to pursue
I leave you now
My spirit will continue to guide you in how
Goodbye for now and my assurance in the creation of wow
Live on and be strong with my legacy in communicating in getting along.

Your music continues to hit my ears
I remember Phyllis Hyman’s songs
I know Ms. Hyman has been dead so long
But her songs brought Love to life
Measure for Measure
Love being the pleasure
Ms. Hyman illustrated in order to love someone you must start loving from within
Knowing how to love, but understanding you are truly in love
Ms. Hyman’s songs of serenity and sincerity
Yet it all comes down to reality
A heart of inner emotions with love never having to end
Determinations of feelings become concrete on when
No moon could ever set the mood
The candle lit in the kiss and seduced by smooth and soothe
Breathless in wanting to be loved even more
The heart pounds in being sure
As the heart pulsates, it was a matter in romance being total fate
Love and romance being eternal in date
But there is a reality
Love can crumble beyond a moment’s notice
But because of that love, one must be strong and continue to stand on solid ground with no turnaround
You are now standing on secrete ground, and your life will revolve around and around
Phyllis Hyman sang to the world all so well
This is why Phyllis Hyman is remembered with elegance being swell
Ms. Hyman life remains on Higher Ground
However, I still hear the echoes of her singing voice, which she herself is being the sound
You knew how to entertain us
As a fan, I remember you being an always must.

It was a past about a horse and a Cowboy
But it wasn’t a story of Indians in attack, but happiness being a joy
This was a time when the West had already won
It was some Navajo Indians who became friends among
The Navajo Indians shared cultures and traditions
The Cowboy trained the Indians in how to ride a horse
It was a nature care thing having no force
The Navajo Indians lived in their own reservation
You could call it preservation
The Navajo Indians were trained for battle and attack
Yet some people wonder about that
But the Cowboy instilled that there was trust
He also showed no need to fuss
The horse even familiarized himself with the other horses of the Navajo Indians
Everyone got along
This was the books past back that needed to belong
This was the chapters throughout the book
All one has to do is just take a look
Western movies always portrayed Indians with Wagons and Stagecoach attacks
However, that was the movie’s action fact
It didn’t always happen like that
There was calmness but some fear with uncertainness
People were living in assumption and not on trust
Yet the Cowboy and a horse showing Indians can be friends
But the book illustrated in not to live in fear
A book that showed the story right
What was darkness have shed some light.

Angry waves stirring up the seas
Ships as boats tossed such as these
The Sea Gods establishing their wrath
The boats have very little time to escape in a raft
The seas in all their fury
A boatmen’s watery grave as a bury
The darken moon only knew
The overcast skies in what would be a slew
A lonely lighthouse turning with every mount
The spotlight being signalized with every count
Boat maneuvering through raging waters
A circular affect being like quarters
The raging storm nothing more than a storm
It’s mainly a message in who controls being the norm.

Captain Chicken would be afraid of his own shadow
He was just that hallow
It all started with Captain Chicken travelling the seven seas
He would be scare even with the breeze
But he was a Sailor at the time
But Captain Chicken could be a little sublime
It was a violet storm, and the waves were pouring into the ship
The ship began to do up and down dips and the sides in tip
The crew began to panic
Of course Captain Chicken was simply frantic
Oh the Mighty Seas that raw
A chicken Captain in watching the Sea Waves he saw
The so called Captain Chicken could very well had been a tuna dish below
Yet, the crew managed to pull through the ordeal
But was Captain Chicken for real?
However, but what I didn’t tell you was Captain Chicken didn’t know how to swim
How fitting for a ship that sails on water
But what would happen if the ship should certainly sink?
This is where Captain Chicken would have to think
But the closest water to Captain Chicken would be a *** of Boiling Water
But not necessarily in that order
You might be thinking, it sounds more like a plot
But this is reality having a not
Captain Chicken ranking from Sailor to Captain
That means maneuvering the ship through unforgotten waves and obstacles
But it’s water not being Captain Chicken’s refuge
He’s lucky he has two legs to stand on
But again with another question of how long?
But what really comes to mind is at least Captain Chicken’s legs didn’t become a drumstick
No courage would be what would stick
Captain Chicken with a ship name I would call “Chicken of the Sea”
That describes Captain Chicken in every way
In fact, the name Captain Chicken is what will stay
But it all started on this day
No one will ever forget Captain Chicken
But the end result is, no matter what, Captain Chicken will be controlled by the waves and the waves message, “Captain Chicken, you will have to behave”
We control the sea waves.

The book describes the headlight of the Big Dog moment
A trademark having stories after stories about its own
A book had to be written to let it be known
The multitudes of customer’s feedback in letting it be shown
A chapter of a passenger ****** in a bus station restroom, and no one cared to get help, but a small little boy
Another chapter of the Hound’s own employee stealing from the company, and they did willingly in broad sight with having a reason along with a confession
The customer’s Hound Bus experience in response being their own expression
Well in this chapter, a Hound Female Driver threatening passengers with policies of her own
The Female Driver firmly stated, “No talking, don’t ask questions or you will be put off the bus”
Yet the Female Driver fired back after being terminated, and the Union had her reinstated through another way
More Chapters with unending circumstances
Midnight rides with sunrise plights after plights
It’s a wonder that passenger do catch the daylight in the hound’s Dogs light
Dialog after dialog being a summary of events
Through the years, it a wonder in where the Hound bus years went
The Author giving the outsider reader with the inside experience behind the scenes
A look at if you don’t travel by bus in things you should know
Yet Cross Country bus travel continues to be on the go
Running with the Big Dog having the right title, but can the reader really catch up to the speed of the Greyhound
However, thank you for that ride in seeing the road, and opening my eyes in behold.

I am your Poet Host
My work has been seen coast to coast
An overnight cruise where you will be enthused
Solving a ****** mystery you just can’t refuse
It’s a competition and someone will win or lose
As the ship pulled off the dock
There will be a setting with a plot
Participate or not
Everyone is all in the ship dining room
Someone is going to be eliminated soon
Suddenly the dining room lights abruptly went out
Immediately following there was a big shout
However, the lights came back on, but a male passenger was stabbed in the back
The killer might still be among
Don’t let it be you minus one
Now it’s time to investigate with the pack
It’s up to you to solve the ****** mystery being sharp as a tack
One of the female passengers stands suspiciously looking guilty
That man in the corner looks like he is looking for pity
The Captain seems to be in a hurry
What is all that about?
I won’t say anymore as it is up to you to explore and compare
When you think you have the solution to the case then please share.

The scene takes place in Portland, Maine
Don’t be surprised in what will remain
Our story begins at a very sophisticated affair
Where there is an event beware
Everyone was having conversations with one another
However over in the corner two gentlemen in argument are displeased
Something is about to released
It was Jeffrey Osborne, an Oil Tycoon and his business partner
They were in a deep discussion
Osborne abruptly dashes off
Osborne is scene walking to his car and is stabbed in the back
The killer quickly moved after the attack
Suddenly screams could be heard from the street
Now it will be justice on the beat
But the question is what started it all?
Osborne was planning on selling his part of the business without his business partner’s consent
The business partner was mad with greed and felt Osborne had no right to proceed
Matters just continued to get worse
All eyes on how much of the fortune that was worth
I searched for clues myself
I was determined not to wait for somebody else
There was evidence on the floor with an address
There was someone else who actually caused this distress
It was Osborne’s mistress more or less
If anybody deserved the fortune cut, it was her, Theresa Slaughter
Slaughter helped make Osborne who he was
At least that is what she thought
Yet I know who killed Osborne and I had my sought
I stated to Slaughter you would have gotten away with it, but you knew Osborne didn’t want to have anything to do with you
So you killed him with having an alibi just to draw attention from your true motive
By then the Police arrived and Slaughter was taken away
A ****** carefully solved on this day.

Now Houndman Joe nobody really knows
But to some Hound bus passengers, they have their own story that was never told
A Hound bus with a mission to ride
Houndman Joe being the stride
It seems that when Houndman Joe would drive, it was his personality and demeanor in doing his everyday job of preserver
It was the way he made Schedule announcements
That Welcome Aboard
His friendly hand in opening and closing the doors
Houndman Joe put confident with a definite sure
It was also the Hound bus uniform being how it was nearly pressed, and the shine in his shoes
He looked more like a military soldier than a Hound Driver
Houndman Joe drive being the ride that no one would refuse
His approach too passenger’s was like having a personal chauffeur
However, Houndman Joe took to the highway as if it was a personal friend
There’s no thinking from when and then
In fact, Houndman Joe greetings were totally sincere
But his driving, no one had any fear
However, he was his own talent being like a movie premiere
Yet, Houndman Joe had stories to tell and the passengers knew all too well
Stories that had meaning
Sometimes even make you laugh
For instance, Houndman Joe told the story of his pet male dog that rang away
His dog rang away to be with another female dog and never came back
But he finished the story with, “If only my wife would follow that same track
Well a hard act to follow
But it was a true story or was it?
I will never tell
Houndman Joe told an actual story of an actual passenger who travelled on his bus to buy some cigarettes
Instead, the passenger brought a Hound bus ticket to Los Angeles and rode for two days
I guess at this point, she knew her Husband was coming back
But let’s just say, her Husband stayed on his scheduled track
Yes that male passenger rode Houndman Joe’s bus
But remember the Hound’s bus old slogan, “Take the bus and avoid the fuss”
After while, the passengers just had to laugh
But there seemed to be a chain reaction, as one of the passengers announced is there anybody aboard running from their wife
Yet no one really answered
Yet this was Houndman Joe’s normal routine
The uniform and shoes all had their sheen
Well there’s your story of Houndman Joe
He was like a Commando, but without the war being the flow
Houndman Joe was the master of his own show
My hat off to you and everyday being the highway that you pursue.

Chapters start off about a boy who was failure
He would often have seizures
His parents always felt he wouldn’t amount to anything
But there is a twist being a bling
The boy who became a graduating High School Senior with honors
In fact, he was the Valedictorian
It was a touching moment as the audience looked on the young man’s openings words
“My life looked like I was put on hold with no dial tone. It seemed there was no inspiration other than the encouragement being my own.
Many nights I often cried while burning the midnight oil in thinking, there is no place for me to fit into this world. It wasn’t until I read the book called, “Achieve beyond your Mind”. It went into depth highlighting that the mind has a function and the concept of excelling or forever losing it. That was when I realized I am the power in thinking with the ability in establishing. I control my destiny where I am the bull’s eye in endeavors. As the speech went on, it was full of enduring encouragement to his fellow graduates. You succeed by making an effort and if you ever stop, you become stale and missing out on reaching your horizon in where you should be heading. However, you achieved what is important from the start and that is education. You proved it by being a High School graduate of today. Some graduates will continue on to College, and while others will test the waters of employment. Our High School has achieved its success in helping us to become the best. Our Teachers and Faculty instilled the concept of when in doubt education becomes the key. Let us as Graduates in using the principles of resource and being the commodity of excellence with the spirit of greatness. If you can see the light then you must walk towards light in giving you direction and success being your indication.
You will receive your award for the fruit of your labor, and that is a Diploma. Now what’s next? That is for you to ponder and continued understanding to get. Understanding comes by living until you have excelled all. In the young man’s closing, we were given a shot in what education was and should be. Let us go out and give the High School our honor and prove to the world that we are more than High School graduates, as we are thinkers and striving movers with a commitment.
It’s vision in look, and establishment in accomplish. The power is within our every thought, speech and walk. Use it wisely, and once again, it is knowledge and concept that you have. Struggles, circumstances and negativity may tell you can’t, but think on our forefathers who thought they couldn’t, but became their own solid breed of educators. It is the YES which simply means, “Yesterday, Education and Success”

After that, the young man received a standing ovation full of applause
His parents having no confidence of their son in the past, but all changed when their son was a product of his own assurance
The young man being an intellect and among
He proved he could achieve and his High School Diploma he did receive
The young man will be attending Princeton University in the fall
As he steps down from the stage, he says best wishes to all.

A poor lonely homeless man dazing down the street
He had no shoes to wear on his feet
His walks were through the months of poverty mounting to defeat
Some public mockery in passing in having no respect treat
A man who was once a working society
The economy reversed placing him in his current reality
No fault of the poor lonely soul
But there is sunrise with look and behold
A Good Samaritan had shows that never had been worn
A kind heart knew where those shoes belonged
It wasn’t long before the homeless man put the shoes on
Walking around in his bare feet seemed ever so long
But the lonely homeless man was appreciative and moved on.

There was a knock at the door
Martha looked through the peek hole in explore
At first she hesitated to answer the door
But Martha wanted know more
Martha then asked the stranger what did he want?
The stranger was looking to sell subscriptions in her apartment
Martha then invited the stranger in and this is where our tail accelerates in begin
As the stranger sits next to Martha on the couch
The stranger begins move swiftly in touch
Suddenly the stranger begins in his **** tour and Martha says yoach
Martha tells the stranger to take his hand away
But the stranger still thinks his roaming is ok
Martha then tells the stranger she is not alone
Suddenly Martha’s dog runs out and attacks the stranger in a bite
But the stranger is too strong for the dog and he knocks the dog against the wall
The dog is knocked out in the stranger’s call
Martha shouts for the stranger to stop
But he continues in his ****** way
Just then, “Martha yells to the stranger she will not be it”
Immediately, Martha found knife and stabbed the stranger in the heart
Now Martha was truly thinking smart
Martha felt it was either her life or his
Neighbors heard the commotion and then call the Police
The Police had immediately arrived and Martha was saved from the stranger’s stride
Yet the stranger was almost dead
But that is what the stranger gets in Martha’s stead
Be careful in how you answer your door
You could be a victim not lucky in the score.

Our eyes that glaze into one another
The looks of beauty like no other
The satin sheets all in red
Our interlude while we stay in bed
I see streams of Red Doves
A castaway with everything to think of
It was that sip of wine
Then pure romance that comes too mine
A love that seems to stay on course
Don’t forget the candles and red roses being the enforce
A heart felt love
All the earmarks of Happy Valentine’s Day too think of.

A fierce Thunderstorm rumbled through the farm
There was reason to be alarmed
It’s best to take cover being wise
But the farmer choice to be defiant and continue to work on the farm
Clouds clustered as if in Anger
Yet another way in ignoring the Heavenly Lord
But the Farmer was thinking within his own accord
So the Farmer was moving with the Farm machine maneuvering in the field
However, heavy rain began to pour
Yet the Farmer continued to ignore
Lightning struck the Farmer precise
That’s what you get when you don’t take heed to advice
The Thunderstorm and clouds were an advance warning
However, the storm came early in the morning
However, the Farmer was struck, but lived
He will never be the same
He has no right to complain
He was simply lame
Heaven is no game
Defiance puts the Farmer in shame.

It was a moment of darkness
Light beyond reach
Yet a voice with inspiration too preach
All I could do was stare at the night
Since there wasn’t anything too view in sight
I just sat and bared my plight
It happened all of a sudden
The city was blacked out community by community
But it became a unity shattered by darkness
The stare became how much can one bare
But there was plenty of time too spare
Yet the uncertainness of darkness became a tone of beware
This was something I wanted too share
Darkness from when, and later light came at the end.

Curriculum that goes Cross Country on the road
Read and learn in behold
A lesson plan that starts in New York
City after City and towns being like a wine cork
Enriched learning as only a true Teacher can do
Divine understanding is what the student will pursue
Various subjects that will open any student mind
Textbooks of course that will be combined
Who says learning can’t be on the road
A lesson plan is always in demand
Goodness and prosperity
A Traveling Teacher is going to make this a reality
The blackboard being in no secrete place
A time for learning with no time to waste
The blackboard that can be anywhere
But it is true English, Math and Science that Cross Country Teachers who want to share
A learning experience that will be fun
It’s about becoming a commodity and achieving among
A Teacher’s plan their very own
But this is something no one has ever known
Yet a Teacher with an initiative in letting it be shown
This is an idea I am sure will be full blown
Imagine, students actually being educated
Subjects I mentioned being previously indicated
Striving with tons of knowledge
True understanding with a thirst to go
Yet only the student will be the one in the know
It’s knowledge for all and education that calls.

Built from Ice and Snow
Her erected breast puts the neighborhood in the know
The Snow ******* stands out like two French Musical Horns
The formation being just right
Morning, Noon and Night
It is all shown in plain sight
Some call the Snow being the Snow Wonder Woman
I wouldn’t exactly call her A Marvel Avenger
It’s her stance
The effect the Snow ******* has on men
I hear relationships are trying to amend
Men might be on a prowl
Yet maybe keen eye like an Owl
Men sometimes fight with their own emotion
Yet relationships sometimes form commotion
The Snow ******* brings Ecstasy in the air
Her artistry is beyond compare
Every Snow Man would be her command
Creativity being her demand
The Snow ******* brings life to the yard
Maybe she might need a guard
The warmth will cause the Snow ******* to melt
The neighborhood would be saddened with a broken heart felt
It wouldn’t be until another winter wind
That would be when the Snow ******* would begin
So until her return
The remembrance of Ice and Snow
It’s all about the wintry flow
Snow *******
Formation Institute
Who would have thought?
I see relationships being fought
Days gone by
The Snow ******* is the reason why
Until then
The end

A Greyhound bus cruising on Highway 101
The open road with an endless done
The Colorado Hills
They are reminding me of movie stills
The Greyhound bus wheels rolling at 55
All the Rocky Mountain peaks have their own strive
I am reclining in my leather seats
Listening to my music that can’t be beat
The bus pictures windows adding flavor as a treat
Our journey has spanned from Denver to Phoenix
Our Greyhound bus climbing hills than any bird that could fly
It’s the hound with endurance giving every try
Yet the Greyhound bus showed me my Rocky Mountain high
The night headlight flashes on and off
The Greyhound bus greeting other drivers as they pass by
America just waves and the hound knows how to behave
The Rocky Mountains as they stand tall and *****
They seem to move as the Greyhound bus wheel’s seem too soothe
Our Greyhound bus pulls into the terminal stead
A journey of 3 days and I could use a bed
The picture being the traveller in the ride
My disembark that was adventurous and included a life of continuous stride.

Guns in hands determined to shoot
Evil with vengeance as a mission pursuit
A world with a questionable tomorrow
Tears in outcry of sorrow
Pity in gun hands
Hatred roars throughout the land
Blood killing alley
The Heavens are totally concerned
When will the world ever learn?
The sun has immediately turned black
Heaven wants togetherness, and we must embrace and bring the love back
Get rid of your gun
This is not a pun
The gun is what kills among
Capitol Hill, what are you waiting for?
Guns will soon control the Senate Floor
What do some of you continue to ignore?
Bullets and ammunition have a mission too **** until dead
Now we must not be mislead
Guns have lasted far too long
They should have been done away with where they belong
Enough talk as action a waits
Capitol Hill, you need to respond before it’s too late
Now what would it take?
The longer you wait
Fate could have us all in a coffin state.

A couple boarded a Greyhound bus for Louisville, Kentucky
Romance with inspiration in being lucky
The Greyhound bus left from the Big Apple you know
Passenger’s reclined in their seats
They were thinking in traveling that can’t be beat
A lovely woman was sitting right next too me
I have to find out her name you see
The female passenger’s name was Christina
What could be finder?
Christina was going to Louisville also
So this hound bus was travelling with the flow
It seemed the darkness had a heart shaped moon
However we will arrive in the next day in Louisville at noon
Love was definitely on that hound bus
Lips upon lips of romantic passengers being a couple of us
It was the hound bus that brought us together
As the music horns tell of this love tail
It has been the hound’s bus wheels in the trail
Go loving hound too where romance can be found
As we disembark, love has truly made its mark.
