Annoying Song Lyrics -- a Poem for Friday Writings

   

                                    

 

                Sidewalk Leveler 

"Sidewalk leveler, sidewalk leveler . . ." Those words 

Repeated over and over again 

Over and over, those words come some more 

"Sidewalk leveler, sidewalk leveler . . ." They come 

    Annoying 

I am so glad, I am so very glad 

Glad that tune has not become my ear worm 

Like Mark Twain's train conductor's little song 

"Punch brother punch, punch in the presence of 

the passenger" 

    Annoying 

"Ear worm," a tune repeated, repeated 

"Punch brother, punch in the presence of 

the passenger." Like TV's blaring song 

"Sidewalk leveler, sidewalk leveler, . ." remains 

    Still today 

Twain's was long long ago, before our time  

Way before the term, "Ear Worm" was around 

    Can pass it on 

 

Note:  The "Leverer" song was a clever but monotonous way this person's company attracts attention to its TV advertisement.  Uneven sidewalks around here are the responsibility of the property owner to even up to prevent tripping by pedestrians.  Mostly one section will rise or sink out of proportion to the adjacent piece.

        Your Gun

Go shooting up the town 

Will it make your revenge? 

Getting even for them  

They've been mistreating you 

That for a short moment 

Seems to fix the world 

Later on you'll be caught 

Or maybe at the scene 

Then you'll lose your freedom 

And perhaps lose your life 

Sons, leave your guns at home

Aubade -- NaPoWriMo 2022 Day 8

    An Aubade*; 

     the day after 

Morning has broken 

 wake up little Sweetheart 

The sun is rising 

 hurry before it's hot 

It's time for breakfast 

 coffee is in your cup  

New day is ready 

 ready for your attack 

Morning has broken 

 little Sweetheart wake up 

We've had a nice time 

 our wedding went just fine 

Just as fine weekend 

 learned more of each other 

Helped our love to grow 

 Loving you more and more 

Morning has broken 

 wake up little Sweetheart

People are calling 

 want to see you today  

They're from your workplace 

 wondering if you'll come  

Your work has you now

 tonight we'll continue 

  

Wake up little Sweetheart   

 morning has risen

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.
