Monkey Business

Monkey Business

She gave birth to her baby
then just tossed him aside!
she didn't 'bat an eyelid'
as her baby cried and cried

She fed herself banana's
and wandered as if alone
leaving her baby there on the floor
all on his own!

The keeper interviened
and took the baby into his care
as the 'Mother' stood and watched him
totally aware!

The keeper fed and raised the boy
and named him 'Little Joe'
and everywhere the keeper went
'Little Joe' would go

Then one day little Joe got big
and the keeper took him to meet his Mother
and there he found, not just his Mom
but also a baby brother!

Joes Mother recognised him
and held him oh so tight
and the keepers eyes did swell with tears
as he watch the chimps re-unite!

Puppy Dog

Puppy Dog

There she sits with her puppy dog
she strokes him for a while,
she hides an awful secret
behind her sweet little smile

She cannot play like the puppy dog
she cannot jump around for joy,
she can only sit and wonder
would it be different were she a boy?

She wonders why she is dis-liked
by the people she calls Mom and Dad,
she wonders why they keep hitting her
and telling her that she is bad?

She wonders why they play with the dog
and love him as if he where the child?
she wonders why they injure her
if she laughs or even smiles?

She wonders why her daddy touches her,
and threatens her not to tell?
They seem to love their puppy-dog,
why can't they love her as well?

Fourth of July

Fouth of July Poem


Independence Day
Summer's heat is now upon us
Time for picnics,camping,swimming
Now it is our nation's birthday
Day we celebrate our freedom

Fireworks going up in the sky
Bands playing, people singing
But to myself I ask the question
What did our forefathers die for?

Religious freedom was their goal
So that we could all pray freely
Worship God the way we want to
Keep Him sacred in our nation

As we celebrate this holiday
May we all be grateful for freedom
Land where we can make free choices
And thank God for all our blessings

You are My Angel

You are My Angel

You gave me the strength
to make a stand
when they turned on me
you held my hand
You believed in me
when no-one else cared
You stood by me
when no-one else dared

You are my Angel, my hero, my love
gaurding my soul for the heavens above
You are my Angel my hero forever
United we stand
now our hearts are together

You mended my heart
when it was shattered
you made me see
that nothing else mattered
but sharing our love
our kiss and embrace
seeing the smile
upon my loves face

You are my Angel, my hero my love
gaurding my soul for the heavens above
You are my Angel my hero for always
and I will love you for the rest of my days

You make the sky blue
You make the birds sing
You are my world
You're my everything

You are my Angel, my hero my love
gaurding my soul for the heavens above
You are my Angel my hero till the end
You are my sweet, my sweet and dear friend
