Love Is Funny A novice Soon Learns

Love is funny a novice soon learns,
your heart beats uncontrollably,
And your stomach churns.

Why Do Birds Fly In The Air

Why do birds fly in the air,
And not swim in the sea?
Cause for their feathers they must care,
Swimming ain't no cup of tea.

The Shopper

Busy as a bee,
Flying here and there.
On a shopping spree,
Charging everywhere.

Take away her card,
Before she ruins your life.
Nothing is as hard,
As a shopping wife.

A Bad Day Of Fishing

A bad day of fishing,
Can go a long way.
It beats a good day of work,
Any old day.

Nothing beats fishing, I guarantee,
Listen to what I say.
If you don't like fishing, you'll still agree,
Have a bad fishing day.

Cotton Candy Clouds

Big billowy clouds float by,
Like so much cotton candy.
Gently floating through the sky,
Just as pretty, as they can be.

Some are grey, some are white,
The tops extend forever.
Cotton candy in the heights,
Pursuing their endeavors.

A Guitar At Two In The Morn

Someone strums a guitar, at two in the morn,
Such a melancholy sound.
In the darkest hours before the dawn,
Where only silence does abound.

The body of a woman, weeping in the night,
While somebody strums her strings.
A tortured soul, before first light,
While the guitar gently sings.

Fish Tale

Everytime he told the tale,
The fish would grow some more.
He would repeat it without fail,
Till he got to be a boor.

It started as a Blue gill,
At the end it was a whale.
No he could never get his fill,
Of telling his fish tale.

I believe in young hearts

I believe in young hearts,
That are new and free.
When love has it's start,
It's beautiful to see.

I believe in old hearts,
That down through the years.
Have endured together,
Through the smiles and tears.

I believe in all hearts,
Be they old or new.
I believe in all hearts,
I believe in you.

Pinto Beans

Pinto beans in a little bowl,
'A La Charra' they are so good.
Talk about food to sooth the soul,
With a flour tortilla, oh yeah, thats food.

'Frijoles A La Charra' with anything,
With rice on the side, and fajitas too.
The comfort food of which I sing,
Pinto beans a love so true.

No Spring Chicken

Oh my lord,
No spring chicken,
How old can she be?
I think she knew Truman,
That's plain to see.
Purple shoes, purple pantsuit,
Even purple hair.
I wonder what color,
Is her underwear.
Oh my lord,
No spring chicken,
Walking down the midway,
With nary a care.
But oh dear lord,
Will you look at that hair!
