“It is strange how we hold on to the pieces of the past while we wait for our futures.”

Mom and Us

Our Mom
In our house
In the middle of our street
Getting us
On our tiny feet
Shouting orders
Beyond the borders
She can show a mean streak
But also act very sleek
Always our best in heart
So do no try to be smart
And do as she says
Not as she does
And you’ll be
Just fine!

River Negro

“Row row row your boat
Down the river Negro
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
Life is going full steam!”

Nostalgia

When you are remembering
The “good old days”…

…How things seem better in so many ways
Only now wishing
Would stay as they are
And nothing and no one would go very far

Island Life

Not a pin drop can be heard
Not even the chirping of a bird
On this island far and remote
Be sure to bring a full tote
There will be no ships nor boats
Just a very, very wide mote
Between you and the creature comforts
But we can promise you lots of
Hard work and windy air
But to be fair
You wanted to get away from it all!

Pirates

“Shiver me timbers
For I am getting sober
Pass another bottle
And we’ll go full throttle!”

Pirates

“Aargh!
Pirates we’ll be
Nothing will stop us you see!
We are tough and loud
Even Mom would be proud
Our daily fishing now is done
It’s time to drink, dance and have some fun!”

Nostalgia

Ah, Nostalgia
That sense of euphoria
Would even impress Gloria
When you are remembering
The “good old days”…
