What is better than a lazy day, Snoozy
We deserve to pamper each other in such a way
Now if Bradley C. comes by to play
Please send him over straight away.
I know you'll have a beautiful clever ploy
As you have proved with words you well toy
See SnoozyQ you gave me an awesome thought
Something can't ever be at all store bought
I hope if you hear from Bradley you'll let me know
And give me time to set up my show.
It's going to a lovely time
For 5 minutes my Bradley is all mine
Until his beeper goes off and he flees
Oh well that 5 minutes for sure was the bees knees!!
And meantime lazy you can be
Us gals worked hard to now do as we please
With demands left and right over many years
Of course great memories can bring the tears.
My point I think is we can't feel bad
As we were there for every lass and lad
And happily pampered those who asked.
So deserved are we to spend a while
Or however long it takes to find our smile
Just yawning and roaming around SR
Kicking it as the youth would say
And if luck comes our way and it's a happy day
Maybe Bradley C will return to stay!!

Summertime
Fires rage all around
The smoke settling close, upon the earth
The sun, a bright orange burning orb
Lends a sickening flush to the midday light.
My throat feels scorched, my tongue a desert
My eyes, they itch and weep.
The horse flies lend their urgent buzz,
Their heavy bodies make a smack
When they hit the side of the barn.
Thunderheads rear from the South
They bring their twisting, flashing swords
And fires rage all around.

i've been having crazy thoughts about going back to school
at my age i could be throwing cash in the wind like a fool
but what good will my savings do if i die with cash in the coffer
while my heart still beats i'm thinking i still have something to offer
so a doctorate would take over fifty grand and about four years
but i don't want it to lead me to fears and tears and beers
and i'm sure not looking forward to the g.r.e. again
that test is arbitrary and made to flow money toward certain men
lots of hurdles and lots of jumping through hoops
but lots of learning and making lines into loops
that could swing around and bring this crazy life full circle
to turn pointless waste into purpose would be a near miracle
so do i summon the warrior spirit and not worry about the stress
do i gather the roadkill and litter of my life - do i organize this mess
into a meaningful whole - into a new chapter - a new role
i sense the coming together of a clearer vision - a crystal goal
at my age i could be throwing cash in the wind like a fool
but what good will my savings do if i die with cash in the coffer
while my heart still beats i'm thinking i still have something to offer

Last night was a night full of drinking
And the last one for me, I am thinking
I'll pour out all my wine
And my scotch, that's just fine
'Cause I'm tired of drowning and sinking
Generations of my people have sunk
And lost so very much to the drunk
So much cash down the drain
Too much sorrow and pain
I will now be as straight as a monk
Today is my very last day
Of being in this horrible way
On the couch with my pet
All remorse and regret
From tryin' to drink all my troubles away
The booze, though it lies, is no friend
It's a poison that only pretends
Well I'm ending this now
Any way, any how
This, alcohol, is the end!

until booze is something you don't even miss.
We'll support you with jokes and rhymes
about the good and the not so great times.
This place saved me when I thought I'd explode
with emotion I had tried to flush down the commode.
And one day you will say with a mighty roar,
"I am Louis, The Rich in Spirit, no longer poor."

We come to gather with pain in our heart,
Our friends give comfort and therein the recovery starts
There's ups and downs, struggles and gains,
We document it here to compile thoughts and pains.
It's a Miracle how those before us can give us such hope
Keeps us from screaming and crying and maybe just mope
Having groups together with one thought in mind
One goal to reach with perhaps life's unkind
Not everyone cares if we're sober or not
But here at SR will be sober sooner than not
I've seen the recovery, loud and strong
Tries may be many with things awfully wrong
But keeping our promise to return most each day
We know that are SR friends are there lighting the way!

To Zero,
I am concerned I offended you....regarding GRE. I don't see I mentioned a test but please accept my apology. I was only supporting your talent.
Ippy (sorry I typed Ippu accidentally...tomorrow will spell better)

To Zero,
Many thanks clearing that up and it makes much sense now!! I was appalled that I had hurt anyone's feelings as I never am wanting to do that!!
The Ipanema comes from an item on my bucket list. When young I was perhaps lovely, like most all young girls. Now, it's a matter of opinion I guess. Time changes everyone but, with many sober years, I guess I look better than I would if I kept drinking. Thank God I found recovery and would not change a thing. Now, I can only play the song on the keyboard but, incurable optimist that I am, I will travel there one day. Be Blessed and keep up your aspirations as I truly do see talent in your writings!
