Kissed the girls and made them cry
But now his foot is in the other shoe
And he has been embroiled in “me too”
GIVE ME GOLF CLUBS
Give me Golf clubs, fresh air
And partner beautiful and fair

Inescapable, though they may try
Old stuntmen for example just
Get discouraged they never die

Is naming the kids something favorable
While not having to add numbers
To make sure the name was available

And I speak knowing that pride is wrong
One proud moments, was when a website

“Revenge is a dish best served cold”
Is an old saying but is due some negation
As it feels best served piping hot,
Straight out of the oven of indignation
A DIPLOMAT IS A MAN WHO ALWAYS

Robert Frost stated quite sage,
Who remembers a woman’s birthday
But never remembers her age
