A Game Of Poker
A deck of cards, and I think of the game poker
An ace is a joker
Or a choker
In the game of poker
You can win from behind
With five, four or three of a kind
Never be in a rush
To dish out a flush
When you do, rub it in a a blush
This game of poker, I love so much
Every card and every single touch
Winners, beginners, high shakers and losers

Rocking and Rolling
When I am rocking and rolling
I only remember you
When I am dancing and swinging
I only remember you
mini tini manimoo
mini tini manimoo
Come lets dance
Come romance
Come lets explore this crazy, crazy feeling
I have for you
When I am rocking and rolling
I only remember you
When I am dancing and swinging
I only remember you
mini tini manimoo

Todays visit! ! !
In sunshine, winter or in rain
Today visits me once again
Today is my best friend
Always with me right to the very end
Today’s visit
Is as habitually the same
It is always an erratic game
Of ups and downs
Of smiles and frowns
Of highs and lows
Of “Hellos” and “Byes”
Today I treasure
With paramount pleasure
Today’s visit
I cannot comparatively measure

You were once a good dream
You were once a good dream
And what a good team
We made while it lasted
You were once a good dream
You cooked up some steam
And had me flabbergasted
You were once a good dream
Now like a stream
Flowing out is what I not ever forecasted
And dreams come true
Then later disappear in the blue
Now another is waiting in my queue
I only hope it will be as delightful as you

Open Heavens
The Heavens have opened
Pouring down with rain
Pouring down a range of sorrows
Like there is no tomorrow
We stand in unity
Awaiting a faculty of miracles
Praying for some form of immunity
From the uncertain
Famines, tornadoes, earthquakes
Without giving us a break
In no chronological disorder
Our earth, our Mother
Has chosen days and places
To reinstate her authority

A Bike Is Just A Bike
A bike is just a bike
It can take you for a riding hike
A bike is just a bike
With a motorcycle it is a look alike
A bike is just a bike
When you ride it you feel childlike
But there is something I dislike
It is hard to impress and make a good strike
Two wheels and one seat available for hitchhike
Your charming words will have a declined spike
Therefore it is best to leave the bike for the dikes

Little words like Sorry
Little words make me cry
Common go ahead and try
Little words tell no lie
Like the simple word when I say goodbye
Little words tend to tease
Little words tend to appease
And when one says the word please
Life and love is given a new lease
Little words like sorry, don’t worry
Blossom slowly in little glories
And the moral of this story
Is that ‘sorry’ is often said in a hurry

My First Crush
My First Crush
Her smile
Alone captivated me as a prisoner
In an island
Isolated by my inner walls
Her words echoed
And made me quiver
With a rapid velocity of joy
The innocence of my first crush
A feeling of completeness
We spend our lives
Searching for
A sigh of contention
Moments to look forward to
Thinking of ways to make her laugh
My Uranus
My Shining star
My very first crush

The Grand Piano
In the centre of four white corners
He stood proudly dressed in black upright
Keys in minors and sharps
Shining in mahogany in the light
He spoke with golden tones
With definition and authority
He was sort after
By the minority and majority
So many desired
To play his keys
Producing melodies with chords
But very few could afford
His price
It was worth it
It was nice
He was the grand piano
