Don’t invite your friends who haven’t learned to use the potty.
Changing diapers, certainly, will drive your mother dotty.
Don’t complain when Grandpa Gus gives you a birthday kiss.
If you’re bothered by his beard, just dodge so he will miss.
Don’t spill cake and ice cream on your sister’s brand-new dress.
Do not start a food fight; you will have to clean the mess.
Don’t try to pin the donkey tail on your fat uncle Fred.
Don’t ask Auntie Jane’s new boyfriend when they plan to wed.
If you get a gift you hate, remember not to swear.
Do not cry when Grandma gives you purple underwear.
If you follow all these rules, your birthday fun will double.
And if you disobey them, you will be in lots of trouble.
-Bruce Lansky
Our New Love
From the first lingering glance
Broken Wings
Wings of wax will melt and fall apart,
Enough Hurting Those Who Love You
Wondering why you have so much hate
Shadow Of Life
Walking in the shadow of fear,
Lonely Without You
Woke up todaywith your name on my lipswent about my wayyou were in all my stepssaw a movie and it made me cryif only I could tell you whybut there are no words for this lonelinessbecause its you I
I so loved you
A Geezer's Gripings
I'm getting older, nature deems.
True Joy In Life
I'll be happy once I've done this certain thing.
Lonely Nights
Set forth towards the light
I Realize That I Love You
The sunshine appears to be brighter.
