Wallace and Gromit


I watched a new movie with Nicki my son,
ten times, over and over, the very same one
I like this new movie don't get me wrong,
but over and over, the entire night long?
Nicki seems to think if you like a good show,
Why switch to another, just rewind and go.
Wallace and Gromit, our favorite pair
With cheese and crackers their main dining fare.
Wallace thinks he's the master and Gromit's his pup
Window Washers to go, wonder how it ends up?
Unless the ending has changed from time number nine,
they Blast to the moon and poor Gromit does time.
I think I'm about ready for a new tape to play
Nicki's is asking if there's a sequel on the way.

Rain Is Wet

Little raindrops
little raindrops
a light hearted sound
tinklin' tinklin', tinklin' down.

Soft little splatters,
kerplink and kersplash
the heavens are cleansing
whats left of our trash.

So very hard to remember
how arrid it can get
when your shoes on the porch
are right now soaking wet.




No Whine Zone


The Whine, a grinding on raw nerves,
metal on rock, not normal talk
just that loud, steel grinding whine.
Straight hairs on my neck
my shoulders shudder
as I sit down to rest
trying to hide from the stress.
And then the Whine,
like a midnight siren
rips through my brain
and I am up again.
I think what I need
Is a place I can go
Soundproof and secret
a No Whine Zone.
