shirley was sweet,
laurel was loose,
cinderella was blessed with beautiful feet

debbie was a debutant,
or so she thought,
marcia was merry, most meticulous of the lot

canned cranberry mush,
seeking a kinder hush,
christmas cheer is upon us

it's that time of the year,
to recall what is dear,
as a past tense spirit dot

you are the tower,
i cannot deny,
i wish for you today
Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green

  • :) Very nice, olderman. And I just LOVED the "You Are" reference in this poem-"you are the tower" mmmm, yeah, that's the ticket! :) Now I'm gonna have to go home and crank 'er up a notch for that one! :D

    "You are a tower of
    Strength to me
    The darkening hour
    Sees light again

    Ooh wah, ooh wah, you are...

    Love is a tower
    Of strength to me
    I am the shoreline
    But you're the sea

    You are."

    Merry Christmas to you, olderman! :)

  • loving it

    made me smile

    But right off the bat I got mombo #5 stuck in my head

    Now I am not so sure anymore

    :(
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    Terry wanted to kiss me there,
    Although my darling was missing his hair.

    Jay was a cheater and played the bass,
    Alan was Arabic, and washed in place.

    Bill sold drugs,using me as the patsy,
    HIs brother tried too,tried groping me.

    Mark came into my door,with a fight,
    SCott didn't know what was wrong or right.

    Kevin was the worst,claiming fathers choice,
    While Tim used force,bringing in the boys.

    I could go on,but my therapist would get mad,
    For tis the Season,to expose the bad.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS,boys,(And I use that term with all the love in my heart
    that you'll find your way through this Holy New Year.)

    I like your style, Olderman. Reminds me a bit of Betjeman but with balls!
