Word Birds

after writing poems every day,

you start to think in that same way.

trying to get words to rhyme,

can be an awful good use of time.

but now let's be finished, with all these words.

let them fly away, like little birds.

Silence is Golden

Silence is golden,

duck tape is silver,

if she doesn't zip it right now,

I'll just try to kill her!

how can she go babbling about,

when we aren't allowed to whisper, much less shout!

she just happens to get her way,

any time, any place,

sure, she seems friendly, nice, and carefree,

but it all seems like a scheme to me!

just because we all don't go babbling about,

doesn't mean we don't have problems that we don't want to shout!

some of us just have good manners, you see,

so take some advice: zip it.

to: you, from: me
