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.

NO EXIT

Enter the house if you dare
This is a warning in beware
A very poky house
The only movement is a mouse
Now that you turned the doorknob
You are the focus being the problem of no solve
As you walk through the house you hear moans, creaks and you feel the creeps
The house doors have been locked
You have become the ploy of the plot
You want to run
But you can’t because the house has you at the center among
Continue to walk through the house if your heart lets you
Suddenly an eerie hand reaches about
You then yell in a loud shout
It’s the spirit of the Ghost who owned the house
The moan was his wife who was his spouse
It’s the spirits being in unrest
As the lightening flashes all over the house
You are alone
Your whereabouts from others is totally unknown
You had to take the initiative to enter the house
You have become your own fright
Throughout the house there is no light
Venture on and move it along
Yet it won’t be long
You are being carefully watched
The house starts to shake
Now how much more can you take
Is it your nerves captivated by fate?
This is your final hour
You feel your stomach about to sour
The house has you completely trapped
You feel like you body is going to snap
The house is your tomb
It’s an awakening of the spirits being your doom.

As a kid going to Private School
We learned many things being numerous source tools
We would often take field trips to various places
Each had its own individual spaces
One particular event was the United Nations
It was known with communicating with and establishing that with the world
We journeyed in what makes the United Nations in what it is
We had a Tour Guide from India who told us about the UN
Then our tour really started to begin
We entered an auditorium behind a sturdy glass
It was made to muffle the sound of silence much like a mask
We were at a General Assembly with a headset and Interpreter who spoke
As a kid, we learned that the UN was a serious business and no joke
Well things started to heat up with strong intense verbal use
It was becoming more like personal country abuse
Countries upon countries telling each other off
You could say defining with no meaning
The Interpreter literally stopped translating
Because we were 12 years old, Security demanded that we take off the headsets immediately
Later we headed for our school bus and journeyed back to our destination
It’s amazing how things are done all with a little persuasion
The United Nations with its own special blend, and my story that has come to a complete end.

Finding directions became a try
Driving by the guidance of the headlights
There were no off ramps in sight
The situation was now becoming a plight
Yet the cars headlights were shining bright
I drove and drove
I found myself in beginning dose
I was driving in what was suppose
Later I took the wrong turn
I was stuck in my own spotlight urn
Driving way out of my way
There are many words that I could say
Next time plan using a road map
It will make it easy as a snap
Perhaps a navigator to pen point my arrive
Then later be at my destination in strive.

The Angels being God’s cabinet with a conference with the Lord being the CEO
Clouds gathered on Earth being the flow
Lightening, Thunder and rain being the show
Heavens voice being the establishment from above
The overcast feel was everything to think of
“Seek while God can be found”
“Do this before I the Lord come down”
“Establish in my name, but don't take salvation as being a shame”
I am angry in what I see on Earth
It’s time for a new establishment as a new birth
The wicked seem to flourish on the weak
I see their condemnation that is bleak
Even though I am high above
My power is great to think of
My message is clear
Make your salvation stronger and always hold Heavens near
I don’t want you to have any fear
I want you to have goodness to continue with the theory of preserver
The wicked shall always try to attack
As the Lord I got your back
But with salvation in control, you will be able to handle situations with tack
The clouds all gather in my name
My covenant certainly isn’t a game
My power transcends too all
I am the Earth Overseer being the call.

DEFLATING OVER TIME

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.

It was the fact Santa gained too much weight
Thanks to Ms. Claus who made many he ate
Even the sleigh could barely take off

But on with our story
The very first house had a chimney, but guess who couldn’t fit through?
Yes you guessed it, good old St. Nick
Did you think a stick or a good kick?
Well St. Nick almost broke the chimney trying to come down
But with all the noise, it was a wonder that any kid was looking around
But being stuck, how was St. Nick going to make his rounds
Better yet, how was he going to be air ward bound?
Now everyone be silent and don’t make a sound
We don’t want to wake up any child
It’s Christmas Eve during while
Well this is what Santa gets for eating more than he can eat
Then to top it off with snacks between being a cheat
Santa made it down the chimney, but it wasn’t easy
It also wasn’t easy in going out by the chimney either
There you have it, a heavyweight story
But it surrounds Santa in all his glory
Well this ends our holiday story.

There will be plenty of variety for me too explore
However I must watch how I use my credit card charge
The financial flow could end up large
These will be Christmas gifts to people I will give
However there’s more to Christmas than just gifts
It’s the baby Jesus being the thrift
The stars smile in the air
The feeling of space and surrounding atmosphere
In the distance, a Christmas tree lights coordinate in color from star top beginning bottom

A time for friends and family
Remembering the birth of Jesus being an opportunity
The Christmas star with stories that come from a far
Happy Holidays to you and yours

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.

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

This is why Phyllis Hyman is remembered with elegance being swell

Thanks for all the salutes

Our direction is destiny and dignity
A war can come at any given moment
There will be destruction and lives loss
But together as troops, we make a force
No boundaries will ever separate
But ammunition in how they will relate
We are slowly drifting into open seas
New York City being a distance back
We will be ready at any given moment to attack
To the enemy, what do you think of that?

“The naval uniform to all we protect, and our stance in how we project”.

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.

Common Sense is a decree that was created being one of the top senses, which is in all of us
Having that vital sense is a must
Understanding wouldn’t have any meaning without the formula with common sense combined
Well understanding says it all in the establishment of thinking and analyzing
Determining is for you to decide
It is that connection with your mind in what you actually see as a statement of point or a more precise theory
Understanding is about logically correct, possibilities, but must be a fact using common sense.

It has always been an open door and shut case
But wait and let’s not be haste
In order to even open the door, you must see opportunity
But the cognitive of unity
A collaboration of everything coming together
The process illustrating effort
Determination with attempting to open the door
The door is an explore
Once you open the door, there is assurance of sure
There is a connection of the open door and ****
It takes a destined desire to find out more
The fact is be confident with no ignore
The open door and **** being the hand that extends

So when you see an open door could possibly be your chance
Once again, it’s that opportunity that spells advance e
So open that door, and handle your business, and be inspired as the presenter on the floor.

preservationman Mar 2015
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.

FREEDOM RIDERS VIBE
preservationman Oct 2018
We are thought of as a tribe
But our destiny is written in the destination scribe
A Greyhound Bus led the Freedom Way
Racial discrimination and separation was not ok
There was a fight for change on that day
Freedom is a given right
They didn’t captivate being polite
They certainly didn’t just sit tight
Where there was darkness, there was a guiding light
Freedom Riders had a demand
It was going too be Justice throughout the land
It’s Equality for all being the caravan
The Freedom Riders voices were a definite shout
It’s was for the Nation’s Capitol to work Discrimination out
The mission didn’t revolve around the Black race, but togetherness for all races
Freedom Riders History was centered with a purpose having a trace
They were against all odds that couldn’t be erased
But was a task of face too face
Opposition wasn’t going to stop no matter what
It was the 1960 being a year having no defeat
The Freedom Riders were determined they weren’t going to retreat
They were going to speak out and be heard
They were animals flocking like a herd
Freedcm being the Freedom Riders first name
Then last name in a determined Victory
Then came the end of the story.

Christmas is about timing and no race
e gave the Reindeers a vacation
Santa’s ride will be his own Private Greyhound Bus Provocation

Journeying refreshed and relaxed
It’s all about the kids and Santa can’t be perplexed
Now Santa will have to change his usual motto, he usually tells his Reindeers to Dash away
But since it is Greyhound, he will have to Jingle all and thanks for Santa being the call
Leave the Holidays to us and let Santa avoid the fuss
Santa is definitely travelling on the Greyhound bus
The Hound bus will be fast
A big difference from Santa’s sleigh
Why should Santa let the Reindeer steer?
The Greyhound bus would be the perfect preserver
Santa suggested, Greyhound is his surprise
Greyhound would help deliver the toys to every Girl and Boy
The Holiday Season is about Joy
I know the Reindeer would be upset
I am Santa and have no regret
Greyhound’s new Santa Slogan, “LEAVE AND LET US DRIVE”
Arrive refreshed and alive
Santa says, “JINGLE JINGLE JINGLE WITH SEASONS GREETINGS FOR ALL TO MINGLE”

A Full Moon that creates
The werewolves in how it relates
Transformation from Human to Beast
A night for Flesh being the feast
The Werewolves hungers and would even **** a Priest
A craving for flesh and blood
The event could even be a forest with dirt and mud
Yet the Werewolves who smells humans near by
It’s the perils of echoing outcry with screams in try
The acceleration in quickness by
However, it’s the fangs and claws that dig in
Humans become a Werewolf’s sacrifice that begin
The night where darkness doesn’t seem to end
Screams upon screams during now and then
It’s the movement of a Werewolf’s stride
But a Werewolf knows where Humans hide
Nothing can stop the Werewolf but a silver bullet
There’s never no time to respond nor yond
Beware of the Full Moon, and eyes direct on target, the Werewolf could be very close and in your face
Your life will become nonexistence as an erase.

The plums were ripe in their bloom
A touch of a season change that would be coming soon
Yet leaves falling from the trees in where they lay
Careful foot steps in caution in being ok
The skies having their own surprise
It’s another day that the mind becomes a continuous wise
A short moment to think on
Living and feeling where you belong
As time brings on struggles with thinking in being strong
A choice being a reason to live
A sacrifice being thankful to give
Hope being a purpose to rejoice
The King above who holds and deserves the praise
Not a newsreel broadcast
It is the hand of life
Life being the open door
All you have to do is just explore
Dwelling on ignore because you are uncertain with a darken sure
The way it was is what can change
What has been changed can never remain
What efforts that weren’t made, it is you the blame
The way it was is what was from the very beginning
A change in what was expected and a new horizon coming at the very end
You now have a new agenda to begin and it continues until when.

The library has books and magazines on various subjects
It’s the reader’s find in elect
Knowledge and understanding in illustrating the proper effect
Books and magazines help one relax
A journey beyond but getting away from feeling perplexed

Pages turning mystery into theory
A past in what happened in history
I am the Librarian to help you expand your mind
Watch as knowledge becomes the twine
Now knowledge will take you far

As a Librarian, I know the way
I am here daily every day
Who says a library has nothing to offer?
Then you really haven’t read a book or magazine
Think of the library being a lean and clean cuisine.

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.

Every note being a creation

But before that, I was concentrating on the *****
My Uncle Eubie was the influence and inspiration

The solution usually is the movement establishes in finding the opportunity
But sometimes it may be right in the person’s community
But to seek you must know what you are looking for
Then it becomes later in what you did find
It could very well be an educated attribute of lessons learned
But think also on what Mentors told you all along
However, this is not a subject of select
This is about making the seek and find in having an effect
Seek in knowing what you want out of life
The find being the stability in being focused and seeing the vision
So you see seek and find do work together
They connect in complimenting each other
But along with seek and find add establish
Establish in organizing the purpose with why you are seeking and what do you intend to find
So the seek and find you had been told
Your mission at this point given is to take hold
Having determination and be bold
The seek and find has discovered you
Now it’s time for you to make pace and follow through.

So to get the young lady out
They had to cut in order to move about
Her pain was a big shout
So that was her past
The young lady’s true tomorrow arrived at last
Dance the young lady did
One leg is all she had
But the lady was determined and not mad
She didn’t feel sorry for herself
The young lady wasn’t going to be like anybody else
The lady danced in several positions, and even went down to the floor
The audience applauded in her galore
The Judge’s faced seemed impressed
But this is a talent competition more or less
All the best to the one leg lady

A day when the wind could blow someone away

Snow fell the other day

Yet, it was on course and didn’t astray
But it came the Northeast way
However, at least it was a fast moving snowstorm that didn’t stay
The snowstorm could have been worst

Temperatures holding steady
But the question is, are you ready?
Just make sure you hold the shovel steady
Snow as it comes, and others states who had their share, and now it is our turn to get some.
