Let's Put It This way...

Let's put it this way

Ok

Let's not....

But.....

Ok

Waste

Trying to reconcile
The past and
Worrying about 
Tomorrow
Is time wasted
Not borrowed

Trying to please
Everybody else
Leaves one
Dissatisfied
Try first pleasing
Yourself

Spending time on
People who don't
Spend their time on you
Is a waste of time 
And energy

Don't Take Me

Don't take me
Away from here
Don't take me
Away

Don't take me
For granted
Don't take me
For a fool

Don't take me
For a ride
Don't rob me 
Of my pride

 Don't take me
To the curb
Don't rake me
Over coals

Don't take me
To the cleaners
Don't take me
Out for lunch

Father's Day

Father's Day
My dad's gone away
And I'm so far away
From my girls.

I spent more time with my girls
Than my dad did with me
Every day was Father's day
Those days are gone
I am thankful for what 
I still get.

Caffeine

Waking up too soon
Staying up real late
Shoulda slept til noon
But i got up before eight

Caffeine honey where you been?
Caffeine she don't let me get to dream.

Playing in the nightclubs 
Working in the day
Home too late for backrubs
Or to cash my pay

Caffeine honey where you been?
Caffeine she don't let me get to dream.

I might get it from a chocolate bar
Or from a coffee cup
Til i get it can't go far
I need a pick me up 

 Caffeine honey where you been?
Caffeine she don't let me get to dream.


There has to be Room

There has to be room for you
You're meant "to be", not "to do"
Not a place in the margin, 
Or a seat by the wall.
A place that shouts out  " Me too!"

There has to be room for us
We're meant to soar and be free
Not to crawl or to beg
But to stand on four legs
Two legs for you, two for me

There has to be room for the others
Even though you might have your "druthers" 
Not too much at a time
One or two would be fine
And sometimes your plans can be "other"

Tongue Haiku

Tongue that penetrates 
Giving back to me what I
So freely give you
