WARNER BAXTER May 2015
I’m a simple man with stature quit norm
in search of a partner who could weather a storm

a woman with style, elegance, glamour and grace
a vision of beauty, charm, poise and a pretty face

She would be fast with a quip and quick with her wit
every room she appeared would be instantly lit

She’s more than celebrity She’s a culture icon
changed her name from Norma Jean to Marilyn

oh how She and I could set fire to a town
the two of us together would burn the house down

Marilyn Monroe will you marry me?
what a sight for all my friends to envy and see

I once was lost
in the dark, with high cost
unable to see, keeping distance
unwilling to be, holding resistance
upside down  and  turned inside out
nothing  but empty and  full of doubt
fighting with myself,  not  ever  to win
diving deeper and darker, driven to sin

Addicted to shame & overdosed on blame
it’s always the same like a moth to a flame
greed is need always need never to succeed
poison amaranth as my soul dies & I bleed
like a sacrificial  lamb led  to the  slaughter
all my senses stunned to the scent of water
old and wise is just the disguise of wisdom
a promise of  God’s everlasting  Kingdom

Faith is hope and love is grace you realize
evil is hate & fear is the cause to fantasize
into the night out of the dark once more
so much more than there was before
I am the way the truth & the light
born again, life after death
I once was lost now
I am found
the shape is a seed, the beginning of life

.

powerful Super tornado Slammed down in my home town
of  Corpus  Christi,  Texas  Several  Summers  back or So
& Slashed through town like Satan himself was Spewin'
and Slingin' Sweet Texas farm Sod at anything Standing.
The Silver Sand of South Padre Island Sparkled in the
Sky while it Stripped paint to bare metal.  Our little
house Started Shaking  and Sliding and Spinning
Spinning and Spinning more Spinning, Spinning
Spinning, Spinning, Spinning and Spinning, Still
Spinning, and Spin, Spin,  Spin and Spinning
would we ever Stop Spinning and Spinning?
We Swirled and Spun and Still Spinning
Then, Suddenly BOOM! STOP! Whoa
Still  Spinning,  I'm dizzy  So dizzy
everything Spinning, I'm So dizzy
I'm Spinning can't Stop Spinning
Been Seven years, Six months
and Seventeen days Sin ce the
2006 Corpus Christi Twister
and my head Still Spins.
Good news is,  I got a
new job,and I love it.
What is it you ask?

Owls say who
cows go moo
ghosts say boo
nothing new
horse goes neigh
but what does the turtle say?

bird wings go flip flap
fish fins go splish splash
horse hooves go clip clop
snake belly goes slither
Santa Clause says ** ** **
but what's the sound of the *******?

What day is it?
Everyday Is **** Day

I AM THE ONE THAT…


                       Scares you to death
                        Will give you breath
                        Can save your life
                        Will twist the knife
                        Steals your thunder
                        Will take you under
                        Stirs up the ***
                        Will never get caught
                        THIS IS WHO I AM

I AM THE ONE THAT…

                       Lets the cat out
                        Will raise the doubt
                        You want on your team
                        Will push to the extreme
                        Has your back thick or thin
                        Will always win
                        You love to hate
                        Will set you straight
                        You can’t figure out

Because, I am the one it is never about
THIS IS WHO I AM

I am just like you

Our story begins in a galaxy far far away
on the dark chocolate side of The Milky Way

the planets all look like cookies and donuts
boys and girls grow to be bakers and astronauts

they have five different planets that orbit two suns
****** is smaller and Butter is the bigger one

the first is Glazey-1 the second is Eclarian-2
spell Heaven backwards and Nevaeh-3 comes into view

the forth is my favorite, they call it Smore-4
most well known for it’s white melting core

and last but certainly not least is Oreo-5
it’s surface is hardest and is smallest in size

a special place for sure is this sweet solar system
planets sparkle after a sugary rain sweetens and mists ‘em

watch a cartoon, blow a balloon or hum your favorite tune
or you can do as I do, and wish upon Macaroon Moon

a duet
Palestine and Israel
To the tune of Home, Home on the Range

(Palestine)
Oh, give me a land where no Hebrews stand
where Palestine could live and shine
where seldom is seen a Rabbi or ‘stein
and Jerusalem could be all mine



(chorus)
Land, land without Jews
where Palestine could live and shine
where seldom is seen a Rabbi or ‘stein
and Jerusalem could be all mine


(Israel)
You don’t understand, God gave us this land
where Palestine would hate and whine
where seldom it seems, peace is a dream
and Jerusalem should be all mine



(chorus)
*Land, land of the Jews
where Palestine still hates and whines
where seldom it seems, peace is a dream
and Jerusalem shall be all mine
This is a humorous view of two groups trying to occupy the same small piece of land unsuccessfully for over 4,000 years.
Each side is given one verse each to express their side.
