Curious -- The Singing Fellow


   Staying Curious No More

Little man, why do you sing like you do?  
Is it because I wind you up before
You shake your head, no, no, that isn't it 

Then tell me please, why do you croon like that 
Is there real blood running to your voice box? 
Course not you crazy fool, that isn't it 

As I sit and listen, your happy tune 
Perhaps it's solar makes you go, sunshine 
Guess again, I think you may never know 

Then I give up, won't you tell me please 
You turned the switch, three AA cells, that's it

Word List -- Declaration Enforced

   [Photo Copyright 2022 by Jimmiehov]

  The Announcement 

Angel's were beckoning 
The choir was singing 
Violins played the tune 
Unmuted trumpets blared 
loudly, 
announcing the news 

Good news -- 
Peace on earth was declared 
All the gods in the world 
Together melted swords 
Froze the guns, dulled the knives 

Best of all they Declared 
The Golden Rule to be 
ENFORCED

 - I am still on Sabbatical but my gracious  jailer has now allowed me to have some limited Wifi.  Still under lock and key though. That said I'm hoping to be able to return comments. NO mail though and one phone call a day.  Guess who I call.
