Crabby stuff

I never saw crabs come in pastry before,

but I'll eat them with pleasure and still ask for more!

Postings

                             I studied the signs on the lamppost,
                                  and I recognized the design:
                 the dates and the places, the odd little spaces,
                              were all piled up just like mine.

Bunny banter

                            I just popped up to say "Howdy."
                             It's lonesome being housebound.
                  Is there someone out there who likes fuzzy hair,
                and would like to just…you know...come around?

                                                                                                       
                                                                                                          (seen at The Ark)

New view?

                   Sometimes you don't know what you're seeing,
                          some things just don't look the same,
                             so get a new view, its up to you,
                         if you want to keep playing this game.

"Classic" car

cC

c

                Now here's the last word in a motor machine,
                         and it may look real snazzy to you;
                 but how do you know which way it should go,
                          and what it's supposed to do?

True Love

                       It's  great when a sensitive artist can see
                     true love beginning at age two and three.

Tall tunes?

                              I'm glad I was given a violin,
                               it gives me a sense of style;
                        but it does seem to me that better would be
                              a lovely long necked bass viol.

Daisy days

                                 What is it about a daisy
                     that makes us start playing "she loves you";
             though there may be no chance in this daisy romance, -
                            she may not even know of you.

Autograph

                  What a powerful sculptor of love he must be
               that could make a heart grow in the trunk of a tree.

Caddy Boy

                    If you simply can't wait 'til you're driving a car,
                  and you're constantly nagging your daddy;
               just keep bugging him, maybe someday you'll win
                   and he'll give you your very own Caddy.

Lost?

              
                         If you find yourself lost in the jungle,
                         and want to get home to your mother,
                       I think I would say this is not a good way,
                         and suggest you look 'round for another.

Family frolic?

                          It looks like some joyous occasion,
                  when the mothers dance 'round with their wards;
                     and the boys and the girls are all in a whirl,
                                       happy to be adored.

Transport

                 It's good to see China's enjoying our goods,
                 and I'm awed how it's all stashed aboard;
           but it's hard to believe it can go through those seas
                          without losing it all overboard.

Comfy?

                                Give thanks if you've found a comfortable spot,
                   where you trust you'll be safe in a world that is not. 

Excuse me...

            
     Excuse me, but….
                  Could I ask you a question that's bothering me..
                          What is it like to be free?

Greatness

                  When you're bigger than all that surrounds you, 
                        you capture all eyes cuz you're tall;
                    and yet there's a flair, and a dignity there,
                               that sets an example for all. 

High cycle?

                              I was told that a proper cycle,

                       had two wheels that ran on the ground;

                      I never did hear of what they've got here, - 

                          Four wheels that go up and down??

News?

                   I look for world news in the papers these days,
                        but it's all about killings and caskets;
               so I roll up my sleeves and keep turning leaves,
                       then the chatter is all about baskets.

Spinal challenge

                    If that's our spine in its virginal state,
                     how can it help us to stand up straight?

Wise guy

 

                                             Did you ever see such a fellow?
                                 That profile is surely unique;
                   and that look in his eyes, how'd he get that wise,
                       do you think wisdom comes with a beak?

Peek a boo

           Sometimes, when you're looking at something new,
          you'd swear there was someone looking back at you.

Scoreboard

      
                       It must be sad if you're feeling so bad
                        that you measure the day by its pain.
                    Could we not say how we valued the day
                         and would like to repeat it again?

Transformation

      
                  They say when this lad takes leave of our world
                               he'll return as a butterfly;
                    so can't we project that we, too, can expect
                           to find a new life when we die?

Trust

                            Oh what a model of living is this:
                          no needs, no "ought-to's", no"musts";
                              his only emotion total devotion,
                                 the embodiment of Trust!

Jaywalker

                      My friend, let me give you a warning:
                     when you're traveling down the street.
           you may still sing your song while you're marching along,
                     but watch where you put your feet!

Miracle

                             I witnessed in awe this afternoon
                    an achievement that left me quite lyrical:
                that a mere human bein' backed that monster machine
                         'round a corner, was simply a miracle!

Encounter

.                    ....can't tell you his name, I would if I could,
                     ...just a funny old man I met in the wood.

Leaf lesson

                 Watching the leaves as they drop from their trees
                       suggests that, despite what we're told,
                 their patterns will show that you still can grow
                          more interesting as you get old.

What!?

Heavens to Betsy, what could it be?

What in the world did poor Bruno see?

Ancestor

               
                    No wonder we're drawn to this classical scene,
                             its been there,  if we can believe ,
                      long before me and you, as part of the brew, 
                              before even a bug was conceived!
