The Old Man
The Old Man
.
I met an old man sitting in his chair one fine spring day,
So I sat down there beside him to see what he had to say.
He looked at me and broke into a great big happy smile,
Then said “Hello, I have been waiting for a long while.” Continue reading
Wondering Back Then
Wondering Back Then
.
As a young man, I wondered about things to come,
Because I was very curious about on my own life’s run.
These wonderings brought many thoughts that were wrong,
Perhaps, you had some of the same thoughts along. Continue reading
Holiday Memories
Holiday Memories
Mom was one of those traditional holiday ladies,
Who cherished family traditions with all of her babies.
She taught us well as those traditions became ours too,
So each year we all continue those traditions on through. Continue reading

Name That Toon

I always name the characters I call my Bighead toons,
Except when the werewolves are out at the big full moon.

You can name him yourself if you have a good hunch. Continue reading
The Yellow Brick Road
The Yellow Brick Road

Misques And The Cuties traveled to Sedan, Kansas annually,
To help them celebrate the Yellow Brick Road festival, you see,

Putting on a show they all loved with our clog dancing feet. Continue reading
Tulsa Octoberfest
Tulsa Octoberfest
.
Each October 1990 to 1999, we danced at Tulsa Octoberfest,
With Misques and the Cuties fun clog group at their best.
Each year we picked up a Tulsa Octoberfest poster,
As a souvenir of our great times performing on their roster
As I display each years poster in the verses of this poem,
I’ll present pictures of the Misques over the years glowing.
I think you will be able to see from the pictures in here.
How much fun we had with those crowds that loudly cheered.
Honky Tonk Heroes
Honky Tonk Heroes
.
Over our years , Pam and I saw many honky tonk stars live,
We loved all of the live shows drinking beer as we did jive.
If they had a dance floor, we danced to the stars,
Getting lost in the music, moving around that floor so far.
.
Pam always had to get a signed picture of the honky tonker,
Most of the stars signed “To Pam” which really zonked her.
I have selected a few real honky tonker photos to share,
With a verse about each one and our good times there. Continue reading
