Beverly and Arylce

Beverly and Arylce
Working at an architect firm,
I met 2 women where trust was earned.
Names are Arylce and Beverly,
they lived the hard life with loyalty.
Loyalty to Smiley, Glotter & Nyberg they did give,
they received a pension in which to live.
Now I saw Arlyce in a home,
where she was left all alone.
I gave her a Barbie Doll,
She was so Happy to see me, she forgot it all,
Forgot she had schizophrenia,
She said words more than ever before.
Like supercalifragilisticexpialidocious to see you in a million.
Then I talked to Beverly through the years,
We sent Christmas cards to each other with good cheer.
Beverly sorry I didn't get to Willmar when I was near.
Now both women friends have passed,
They are together laughing again at last.

Snakes And Ladders

Words by joni mitchell
Music by larry klein and joni mitchell
He
In a shopping mall
Finally met the perfect girl
She is all that matters
The only one in all the world
Like a barbie doll
Oh love is snakes and ladders
Snakes and ladders
She
Just to have and hold
Is the perfect air-brushed angel
Makes you hot just looking at her
Stapled into all his braincells
Like a centerfold
Oh love is snakes and ladders
Snakes and ladders
Get to the top and slide back down
Get to the bottom climb back up

U & Me = Love

Walk down the street
2 a psychedelic beat
I'm a real girl
In an unreal world
Disco lights and buff bodies are nice
I'm like any girl; I enjoy the sights
But I'm no Cinderella 2 your storybook fella
I'm no Barbie doll for your fantasies and all
If u let me be me, I'll be better than your best dream
U and m-e spells l-o-v-e 2 me
[CHORUS]
Come on, baby, won't u crash into me?
I'm like nothing that you've ever seen
Dynamite,
I'll blow your mind
Guaranteed 2 mesmerize
You'll say, "Ooh la, la, la"
Old Spice is nice
But sweat is better
E-mail is cool

Change Again

On Monday it was Tiaan’s rugby that kept me
from exercising with Lilani at Inch By Inch - on
Wednesday it was my mother’s visit, I went on
Thursday after Carine came home by ambulance
Barbie, a sweetie, and Joseph, a cool organiser
rolled her softly onto her bed

Lilani gave me coffee, listened to my account of
things that went wrong, I even told her about my
heroine who sings, cooks, does ballet and travels
overseas, who gets lost in toy shops then goes bungi-
jumping when she is supposed to attend conferences,
but Lilani will have to close down

If she cannot find other premises – just my luck, for
the first time I have people to talk to about anything
under the sun, saving the audience on the Internet from
my passionate effusions about tooth-ache, allergy and
various aches because hubby refuses to listen to my
prattling - and just when I am content -

Don't Come Around Anymore

Goodbye, farewell
I don't wanna see you around anymore
Don't come knockin' on my door
Coz i won't answer it to you
No don't come knockin' on my door
Coz i won't answer it to you

You told me you loved me
but all you wanted from me
was sex. When you didn't get it from me?
You went and got some from a Barbie
If i see you with her
I'll tell her what you did to me

So farewell, goodbye
I don't wanna see you around anymore
Don't come knocking on my door
Coz i won't answer
No don't come knockin' on my door
Coz i won't answer it to you

The Good, The Bad And The Ugly

THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY

Women tend to be shy of admitting their age
And try to forget as they slip beyond thirty five
Daunting feelings that their innings are over
LBW'ed men are peeping into somebody's splendor

Those Barbie dolls are now Rugby balls
The nature has redeemed the charms it pawned
Sweet, cute, juicy and wonder girls
Are stunned in defeat, at their abrupt fall

Blush-ful faces have dried up in patches
Glossy skin is dull in scratches
The smiles they sported have dimmed as past
Stress and strain have pulled them down faster

Whatever be the causes, there is a class of men
Who, in private, admire at those ripens

Miss Al-Khalifa

'You give to me hope
And help me to cope
When life pulls me down
You bring me around
All I asked for was attention, but? ?
u handed Me the key to ur heart!

You teach me to care
And help me to share
You make me honest
With kindness the best
Striped me of loneliness
Clothed me in tenderness

From you I learned love
With grace from above
It's for you I live
And I want to give
Trust hard earned
Other commitments burned

Letting Go

Red, orange, yellow and green
Shocking colors with glitters and sheen
Dresses, bags, shoes, hair clips and pins
Different materials, most are out of style
She got all those things when she was young.

Teddy bears so soft to hug
Paper dolls stacked on piles
Barbie dolls that are sexy and nice
Most are gifts by friends and love ones
Now they are abandoned, forgotten by someone.

I packed them, ready for others to share
Tears on my eyes, really I can’t refrain
Don’t know what I am feeling, am I sad?
Oh, these are all the stuff
That once my little girl was obsessed at.

Am I ready for another journey?
Now that my baby girl is a full grown lady

Joys Of Childhood

A four year old I find
Has a very clear mind.
She knows she likes Pogo
More than the Lego.

For pink strawberry ice-cream,
She will kiss you and scream,
While she licks with sheer delight
Till she finishes the last bite.

When her mom asks her to draw
She runs away defiantly saying no.
And asks why don’t you let me play
It’s a holiday today.

She handles a T.V remote,
Like a pro
If you ask her whom do you love more?
She’ll promptly say everyone, running out of the door.

Milk Teeth Miracles

my daughter
asks when we are out
can we visit

the toy shop
and oh the joy
in her eyes

with a yes reply

as she scans
all assembled boxes
latest arrivals

desire to possess
is in her heart
but she will not

ask only dream
appreciate

Circular Weather Girl Poem

She probes the wintry weather, her voice oiled
and golden, warns of the violet-hued storm,
reports the deluge flooding yard and lawn
like a spring haiku thawing icicles.
She points to where the cherry blossoms fall
that still lie wrapped in cherry leaves, the wall
waiting to be hidden by leaf and blob.

A goddess, or a sort of priest with sisters
she waves away the Atlantic squall: she deals
in chance percentages of rainy blusters
born in the doldrums, off Biscay or Faroe.
her every isobar travels through a spring
of butterflies - Gauguan dreams, Pissaro
or Botticelli Floras riding bicycles.

She is the weather girl, our newest myth,
our crowned queen, Cinderella, our blind date.
She comes to life when Barbie dools in moonlight
have lesbian affaris with women graduates.

Psalm for my Sister

I will lift my eyes and smile as I give thanks to my sister.
My radiant complicated sister, who is more than my sister,
she's my friend.
I will thank the good lord above that we were children together
I rejoice to remember playing house or barbie dolls.
Our secrets, our surprises, even our fights.
I feel deep longing for those days when we were little girls together,
Life hungry, each fighting her own battle,
Yet supporting each other against the world
My sister, my beautiful sister.
Thank you for this women who shares my parents
My past, my blood, who see's me whole, the beginning long ago, and the person I am now.
My sister, who's faults are so clear to me but dear to me, just as my faults are to her.
Yet for all the differneces and the miles that come between us, we still battle the world together.
I laugh for the joy of my sister,
and sometimes I weep for my sister,
I long to comfor her and hold her close
Dear Lord please watch over my sister
the sister I love so much.

Country Girl (At Heart)

vs.1 I don't want no riches, I don't need no fame.
I ain't no golddigger, and I think that Barbie dolls are lame.
I don't wear no jewelry, except for my earrings.
I don't buy expensive clothes; I get 'em cheap.
(chorus)
'Cause I'm a country girl at heart,
Yeah, I like to play it rough.
I work out all the time,
So my muscles look tough 'n stuff.
I don't make big bucks,
But I have enough to get through.
I got everything I need,
Which should include love from you.
vs.2 I ain't no fru-fru, I'm not ALL about pink.
I don't want no convertible, big trucks are better, I think.
Or even if I had a Harley, that'd be just fine.
I'd wear a leather jacket and boots to attract some my type.
(chorus)
(instrumental)
vs.3 When I get married, I'mma have a blast.

Love Without Anger

Love without anger
He picked up the phone and took the call
A long distance voice just started to bawl
I dont care if you feel small
Love without anger isnt love at all
Why cant you have your cake and eat it too
Why believe in things that make it tough on you
Why scream and cry when you know its through
Why fall in love when theres better things to do
Barbie and ken in a great big fight
Seems ken forgot to make it home one night
You know what you are seeing simply cant be right
Looks like loves bark is worse than its bite
He was young and in love
So he just couldnt see
And it compelled him to ask
Are you kidding me?
You must be kidding me!
Love without teardrops isnt the same
He asked to be counted out of her game

Remember Then And Now

Remember little jack sprat
Remember three little pigs
Remember all those fairy tales
That seemed so real to us a kids

Remember mother goose
Remember Cinderella going to the ball
Remember the old lady in the shoe
Remember sleeping beauty eyes closed and all

Remember growing up and out
Remember getting rid of baby things
Remember watching Disney
And not singing barney songs we used to sing

Remember getting grow up
Remember sleeping in big kid beds
Remember ditching Barbie dolls
And tiring to flush their heads

Moments Of Love

the moments of love never grow old
that is something that i was shown.
like a child who receives that
first christmas gift
which was put on their list.

the joy, the excitement, the look in their eyes
makes you want to sit and cry.
they tear that package open to look inside
just like the first love, it can't be denied.

like a little girl with her first BARBIE doll
with all the clothes to match.
that glitter in her eyes
that you sometimes catch.

that little boy, with his first cap gun
running to hide and play in
the darkness of the house
or out in the sun.

More Over-Heard Conversations At The Party

'Bet you thought you were talking to me didn't you? '

'We have them just where they want us'

'If I am an hallucination, why are you talking to me? '

'You keep applying for the job of my supervisor. That job is taken.'

If I wanted someone to run my life, Dad, I wouldn't choose you.

Being right all the time is not enough.

'Sometimes you have to stoop to see your dreams.'

'I can sing but only in the bathroom'

I like you, but, only because you like me

The higher I reach on the step-ladder of life, the more likely I will fall.

and eating lots at home, with gravity
very serious in look, sparse in his words
but loves his mom, dad and sis

Mama I'm Strange

What's this little lie
They keep on telling me
It's just another high
They keep on selling me
I was only five
They fed me so much jive
They said just have a ball Just be a Barbie doll
They churned and burned me out
Until they turned me out
Over and over again

Mama I'm strange
The thoughts and the wants are the locks
On the back of my brain
I'm descending pretending I'm blending
I'm going insane
And they want me to change
Mama I'm strange

I'm on a shaky wall
