Life Laid Bare By Bear

I’ve had friends who spent their whole lives,

Seeking the secrets mankind knows…

I myself, found the answers simple,

Usually right beneath my nose.

Crystals, mantras and Spirit Cards,

Cannot provide you an identity…

Your face in the mirror reflects you,

But your heart is what friends see.

Time Never Stops

The news said Rosie the Riveter,

96, passed away today…

It feels like in an instant,

My parent’s generation faded away.

Then Neil Diamond reported,

He has Parkinson’s Disease….

It seems another chapter in life

Will disappear and cease.

Elton John, announced today,

This concert will be his last.

I was the one who danced to life…

Now I celebrate the past.

Lately our recent parties,

Are more difficult for the hosts…

We celebrate with the old friends,

Amid the uninvited ghosts.  

Royal Fleas

If I was a billionaire,

I would live in a giant castle…

Yet all the money in the world,

Could not stop my daily hassle.

I still would live with all my dogs,

While breaking royal protocols,

Picking up the shit balls,

In majestic marble halls.

If the queen should visit,

She would have to wait outside…

Royals, suffer from flea bites,

So they wait for insecticide.
