My friend and my neighbor Diane
Can call me her most loyal fan.
I know she’ll go far,
Become a great star,
To swim in her pool is my plan.

A woman so misunderstood,
Went places that no one else would;
Ahead of her time,
And partial to rhyme,
She knew things that no one else could.

When learning to talk and to walk,
Take no heed of others who squawk,
Don’t give in to those
If morals oppose,
Stay true and be walking the talk.

To whom it may speak on this day,
The right words can help find the way;
In rhyme there is truth,
Despite it uncouth,
And hopefully someone who’ll pay.

Much, much more than a gimerick,
My favorite verse is short and quick
With something to say
In a humorous way.
Hats off to you, the limerick.

It’s something I now must embrace
Abhorrence cannot give one grace
So now at the gym
I’ll go for the win
And keep a big smile on my face.

My best to the Mr. and Mrs.
Encountering life’s hits and misses
Can be a rough ride,
But with luck on your side,
Your journey will be hugs and kisses.

A teacher who was a good egg
Taught students to stand on one leg
‘Til a student takeover
Caused him to fall over,
‘Twas the day they broke open the keg.

Three cheers for our new paladin
Kinder than most we call kin
Who cares if some days
He gets in a craze
And can’t tell his yang from his yin.

A pianist who needed to sleep
Would leave all his notes in a heap
‘Stead of playing for guests
He’d hang with the rests
He knew that the music would keep.

It’s the gold one for Rita and Cleve
They share what we hope to achieve
She greets him at dawn
He still mows her lawn
Y’know something’s up somebody’s sleeve.

It’s off to the gym that I go
A hard road to travel, you know,
But I’ll do my best
I’ll rise to the test
With a dust from my friend Sunday snow

I swear, I’m not a pretender
I’m here, a serious contender,
So Little Bo Peep
Gave in to the sheep
She knew he would never surrender.

At one with the piano and more
She sings while conducting a score
And when she composes
She parts Cs just like Moses
From her the music just soars.

No words I can think of to say
Will take any troubles away
Still this verse comes to you
With the hope it pokes through
And does something to brighten your day.

I always can count on kind Dave
To give what I write a great rave
When all’s said and done
He is the only one
No less does that make him my fave.
