Halloween

Strange things happen on halloween night,

Witches fly by on brooms

pumpkins grin slyly from rickety fences,

Owls fly away to the moon

Gerry Tail

We've just landed in Katmandu
Gerry Tail's stomach is in a stew!
Yes the airplanes can turn him green
The funniest site you have ever seen!
Faster vehicles make him groan
It's a wonder he goes anywhere on his own!
He's such a wimp as you can see,
I can hardly believe that he's related to me!

Mice Live On!

A thousand tails raised in the air
A thousand voices of rodents cheer!
Killers vanished without a sigh
Sweet Mice Island will never die!

Rats to Cats

When we are mice,
You hear us squeak.
Our hearts are strong,
We are not weak.
We are the rats, who
Unite the mice.
Brave in heart, our
Spirits true.
So stand back cats!
Rah Rah Rats are
Coming through!

Dear Dad...

Where were you when I graduated from pre-school?
Where were you when I lost my first tooth?
Where were you when I got awards in school?
Where were you when I got my eyebrows waxed for the first time?
Hey dad, where were you when I got my first phone?
Where were you when I was learning how to type?
Where were you when I got sick?
Where were you when I learned how to write poems?
Where were you when I learned how to cook?
Dad, if you really cared you would be there when I graduate 5th grade, middle school, high school, and college.  
Wouldn't that make you think that I would be happy or surprised?

My American National Anthem

My Country Bleeds Blood Money Poets Soundtrack 2010

O0OH SAY CAN YOU SEE

HOW JACKED UP IS SOCIETY

WHAT WE DON'T STEAL WE'LL TAKE

WE CUT TAXPAYERS NO BREAK

TRAFFIC TICKETS, INSURANCE SCAMS

WE'LL PUT YOU IN FINANCIAL JAMS

IF YOU DON'T PAY, GO TO JAIL

YOU DON'T LIKE IT? THEN PAY THE BAIL

THIRD PARTY COLLECTIONS

DRIVERS LICENSE SUSPENSIONS

BIOMETRICS ON FILE

CROOKED COPS ARE RUNNING WILD

OH SAVE ME THAT COUPON!

FOR I CAN'T AFFORD MY FOOD

DON'T HAVE NO GAS TO GO TO WORK

AND MY DAYCARE'S JUST NO GOOD!

The Giving Tree

I would like to give my wishes to

My Mom, Kalani & Pop-pop

Please Lord, grant my wishes.

I would like to bring Kalani 

Back to life & heal him 

From his cancer.

I would like him to 

Be with us

As well as with his family.

I would like to heal my mom

From being sick & stop her

From working so hard,

I want to see her happy & relaxed

For once.

I would like to heal my Pop-pop

From his broken foot.

I want to make it better

So he will be able to walk again.

These are the most important people
In my life & they're good people
Who deserve alot.
