A Birthday Mystery - 1

It breaks, but isn't broken
It turns, without a token,
It climbs, but not alone
It's skeleton has no bone,
You can use it in the Spring
It makes it's owner sing,
Without a wing, it flies
Can you guess your birthday surprise?

Birthday - 2

Certainly one of the
Worlds greatest findings,
At the top of the list
In the book of unwindings,
Long before Seiko
Started measuring time,
Long before men
Even started to rhyme.

They toyed with this thing
Such a simple design,
They fought for the knowledge
Or wished, "it were mine",
So I leave you to wonder
About all of my lies,
To help you determine
Your birthday surprise.

Birthday - 3

Its owners are numbered
By millions and millions,
With a sum total number
Of parts in the billions,
Based on a singular
Original whim,
Its inventor was probably
A her or a him.

So don't waste a thought
About ancestral ties,
It's just another clue
In your birthday surprise.

Birthday - 4

The Lords of the heavens
And the demons of Hell,
Were jazzed that mankind
Had invented so well,
They employ the idea
In the fulfillment of Dharma,
What goes around, comes around
In the circle of Karma.

It's a favorite among
The girls and the guys,
And always a popular
Birthday surprise.

Birthday - 5

It comes in many shapes
And colored many hues,
It's really up to the customer
What kind they want to choose,
The bottom line, dear daughter
It's a think that you'll enjoy,
It's made to last forever
It's more than just a toy.

Oh, I wonder if you're counting
The number of your tries,
All the fruitless guesses
Of your birthday gift surprise.

Aquarian Surprise

Some say we are precocious
Pernicious and ferocious,
And who am I to argue with the wise,
We were born this way, my firned
And we'll persist until the end,
It's a condition called Aquarian surprise.

My Sauerkraut

At dinnertime
I want to shout,
Why won't you eat
My sauerkraut;
I'll barter for
An equal debt,
And eat your favorite dish
Poncet.

Two Hands And One Head

At times I really wonder
Are two hands, one head enough,
After working with some people
The decision is really tough,
If your thumbs are strong and upright
But your head is full of foam,
You could spend a lifetime hitchhiking
And never find your home.

If your mind is synchronized
Like a deep sea divers timer,
But you lack imagination
You will never be a rhymer.

So like I said, it goes to show you
There are some bottom-line essentials,
You'll never coordinate the head and hands
WIth slipshod differentials.

The Golden I

The Golden I
What a clever name,
It has no competition
In the Credit Union game.

Their services
Are unbeatable,
The fine print
Always readable.

There's nothing like it
Under the sun,
So keep your money
At the Golden I.

To Have a Friendship

I agreed to have a friendship
But I'm clearly not your lover,
You'll quickly drive me away again
If you hesitate and hover.

No, I haven't been a friend to you
And, I've agreed to start,
But don't pin your hopes on fairytales
Because someday we might part.

Oh Paradise, It's Tennessee

Oh, praise the Lord
I'm finally free,
I'm bound for paradise
You see,
I've sweated long
And toiled hard,
I've finally earned
My angel card.

It's not where
All the Christians say,
It's not between
The night and day,
It's here on Earth
And waits for me,
Oh, paradise
It's Tennessee.

A place chock full
Of milk and honey,
A place that's always
Goll darned funny,
An animal or
Two or three,
Oh, praise the Lord
It's Tennessee.

It's a land were pollens
Can't be found,
A farm with exceedingly
Fertile ground,
A place designed
Specifically for me,
Oh, paradise
It's Tennessee.

T.V. Hostess

I've always wanted to become
A famous T.V. hostess,
The guys in high school labeled me
The girl who had the mostess,
I'm well endowed and clever
My character is flawless,
I love a lot of makeup
And guarantee I'm bra-less.

So let me sign a contract
I need a lot of dough,
To support me when I'm fired
From some awful T.V. show.
