Wanting

Wanting

Have you ever loved someone,

Who loves you back, plus more?  

Have you e'r been treasured by 

Someone whom you adore? 

Have you ever wondered why

You're true love hides, and where? 

Though you hear her calling, 

And her scent is in the air...

Perhaps your waiting for the girl 

Who sets your soul  aflame,  

With unrequited passion, 

And a  strange, exotic name.

Or maybe you are looking for

A small, round, home-grown type-

Who sews,  and cleans and makes the beds, 

And cooks  organic rice? 

Perhaps your searching for your love,

Upon some distant shore, 

(But, even if  you  find her, 

You'll just   keep on looking more....)

Chorus: 

'Cause when it's day you long for night, 

At night you crave the sun, 

How can you have  what's yours, my friend, 

When searching's  what you want? 

No matter what you're looking for, 

No matter what the game, 

The characters all come and go, 

But  some things never change: 

It seems you want somebody

Who don't want  you, quite the same, 

And  when you sense their disregard 

Your instincts start to "clang", 

Your heart begins to flutter, 

Thinking  " this may  be The ONE!" 

'Cause  something in your  heart, my friend, 

Just needs to run, and run....

Chorus: 

'Cause when it's day you long for night, 

At night you wait for dawn, 

How can you have what's yours, my friend, 

When yearning's  what you want? 

No matter what you're looking for, 

No matter what's the game, 

The characters all come and go, 

But, some things just don't change.

And so you go around the track, 

Finding all the specks of black 

In anyone who  wants   you, and 

Who wants to love  you back. 

And when the  search is on, again,

Your know the  lines, your on your game, 

( While in your heart  your kind of mad, 

Relieved,  frustrated, sad, but glad.) 

And  , you're  worth so much more,  yes, you...

Your kind, and wise and funny, too! 

And when you  find someone like you, 

Just hold her tight, and love her true! 

Chorus: 

'Cause when it's day you long for night, 

At night you crave the day,  

How can have what's yours, my friend, 

When  wanting's  what you crave? 

No matter what you're looking for, 

No matter what's  the game, 

The characters will come and go, 

But, some things never   change...

Completely Incomplete

                                                   Completely  Incomplete 

Dear God, please see that I remain

Completely incomplete,

As any rose, that craves the  rain

In summer's blazing  heat.

And though, to battle must I go

In armor, cold and grey,

Please see, dear God that soft and kind 

And humble I remain. 

And though  I try to still my cry

When lighting strikes at night,

Please let my tears pour freely 

Praying on my brother's  plight  .

And please dear God, this  most of all,

While I  learn to stand up, brave and  tall-

Please, keep me gentle, keep me small

To guard your children, when they fall

Please let me stay as you intend

A graceful dove who understands. 

A healer made with loving hands, 

To nurture  life and  bring forth man. 

 Cinderella Salmonella

( Sung to the tune of "Jingle Bells") 

Wash your hands, wash your hands
Each time you use the loo,
Or Cling-ons can contaminate
Your surfaces and  food


E. Coli is a little bug
That cows have in their  gut,
If some gets inside your food
You'll bloody poop  a lot

Watch that chopped meat,
Wash your eggs and pasteurize your milk,
Alphalpha sprouts and lettuce heads
Can cause e.coli chills


If two weeks have passed and then                                          e. coli 
There's fever aches and pains,
Weakness, cramping, and fatigue
It might just be   Hep   A.

Raw meat, poultry fish and  eggs
To these you should say "no!"
If you want to not get sick,
First bake that cookie dough!





Beauty, grace and fragile shoes
All go with Cinderella,
But  Fever, nausea belly  ache
Can come from   Salmonella.

Jacuzzi  pools can be so cool
Unless some unclean fella
Climbed  inside to shared with you
A bit of his shigella

Flies are vectors for this bug
They go from poop to food,
Spreading  bitty piec-ies
Of contaminated feces


Summertime's for canning peas
And storing homemade jam,
Careful that you boil it well
And boil it again.

Cause botulism toxins can be neat
For smoothing out your face
But paralyzing and agonizing
in a central place.

So...wash your hands, cook that food,
Keep utensils clean
Food born bugs can be avoided, 
Now you know  what I mean...
