In Far Away Lands, Part-1

In far away lands

Giants wander

Gnomes lurk and lear

Where many do fear

Ferries fly freely

Dragons dwell in deep dells and dungeons

Elves live in deep woods, caves and high castles

Where these are few have ever known

In far away lands

Live orcs ordering evil omelets

Ogres who eat cattle, kittens and kindergarten kids

Safe haven is not abound here

Wise wizards are found all around

Evil, enchanting, enigmatic witches are not far behind

Young witches and wizards are here and there

They're quite easily found, follow the blooming flowers and hopping frogs

In far away lands

Tales are told of heroes and heroines

Of sea captains, soldiers and swordsmen

As well as nomads, knights and noblemen

Good and evil do their dance daily

Many search for treasures, trinkets and tragedy

Life in this realm is hard for large and small

Survive to the end of the week and you'll be invited to princess' ball

In far away lands

Things are quite different if you haven't heard

Here every waking minute is filled with adventure

Every action, moment or sneeze hangs on my every word

This land is only as far as I make it

This realm is of my making and mind

Fear not I've written you a phenomenal part

You'll be a noble knight on a quest right from the start

A Restless Mind

Means there is so much to do 

One must simply follow the heart and the mind

In search of the key that will 

Unlock many doors and overcome many walls

It is as if one knows that there is a

Greater purpose yet to reveal itself

A greater place for life to unfold

It's bigger, brighter, beautiful plan

A connection must be found to

A power far greater then one's own

An amazing link to infinite imagination

Infinite creative power, filled with infinite intelligence

With the right group of like minded individuals

Such great goals can and will be accomplished

Fro the betterment of all

Week and old, young and healthy, fat, short and tall

Things will change for the better

Yesteryear's problems will fade away

Like the colors in your favorite

Beautiful, blue, birthday blue jeans

All levels of control: money, the education system,

Government, power, prejudice and prosperity

Will change forevermore for the better

A new level of fairness will speed across land and sea

Ideas will flow freely from the

Unclogged pipe of society's subconscious mind

All will be given, the right to free higher education

Merit will only be weighed by intelligence and determination

Money will be controlled by the people

Not men in lofty offices, in lofty towers, locked far away

Every man, woman and child's vote will count equally

There will be no electoral college to outvote the common man

Back In The Day

Life was a little simpler

Times were a little easier

The world's problems were solved

With a big bowl of ice cream

The best shows and cartoons on TV were:

Transformers, Go-Bots, GI-JOE, HE-MAN, The Muppet Show, Mighty Mouse

The Snorks, Fraggle Rock, Yogi-Bear and anything Hanna-Barbera

Alvin & The Chipmunks, Thundercats, The Jetsons and the Flintstones

LIfe was spent swimming all day

Laughing and playing my cares away

Miniature battles took place on paper daily

In lands and places unknown to all but me

Every birthday and holiday an adventure

Birthdays filled with pinatas, pool parties and presents

Holidays filled with hugs, holly leaves and happy tidings 

With a young life came a life simpler time

As the wheel of time turned

Other cartoons came along that were still great

Such as: Duck Tales, The Uncanny X-Men, 

Tale Spin, Darkwing Duck, Pinky & the Brain

Ren & Stimpy, Doug, Rocko's Modern Life, Charlie Brown,

Animaniacs,  Garfield, The Real Ghostbusters, The Simpsons,

Batman the Series, Spider Man, Rescue Rangers

And the list goes on and on

Times and people changed further still

Thankfully my imagination and great cartoons stayed with me

An ability to see the world with eyes of wonder and unclouded

Like the mind of a child stayed with me and I hope it stays with you

Fortunately good cartoons are still out there now

One simply must look harder and treasure them like precious gems

Some are: Ghost in the Shell, Princess Mononoke, Akyra, Family Guy, South Park,

Futurama, Disney's Atlantis, Heavy Metal, Venture Brothers and Cowboy Beebop

Destiny's Design

Life has a path laid out for all of us

In which direction we don't know

There are many maps to guide us

And many leaders to show us where to go

The challenge is to find that design

To follow every cue, suggestion and sign

To find our perfect route to follow

We should look to our inner core

For our gut instinct and our inner voice

Are the pilot and co-pilot of our lives

That we need to pay most attention to

Next are our family, teachers and close friends

Take a moment each day to think this through

Even if only for 5-10 minutes at a time

This will be enough to prepare you for a better life

One of your building and design, no one else's

A Writer's Keyboard

When idle it has nothing to say

No new words of wisdom or news to share

No new worlds to explore or tails to weave

Thankfully this keyboard has an avid writer

It never stays idle for long at all

For this is a ponderously prolific writer

One of the best that the world has ever known

His stories paints pictures better then any artist

His words weave the stories of legend

Brighter then the light of the sun

His words will set you free from all your struggles

Melting all your cares away like ice cream in the summer

His stories will lighten your weekly load

Of stress, worries and responsibilities

So kick back, take off your shoes and have a listen

To one of the greatest stories every told

It is a story of the young, middle-aged and the old

Of the brave, the bright and the very bold

It is a tale of a journey, an epic perilous adventure 

One for the ages, an epic of Homer's style

With sea voyages, beautiful exotics women and

Oh the things you'll see in this tale of tales

Creatures you've never heard of before and

Who will remain with you forever after

From apricot aging aglifliers, brown bezealbus

Enigmatic emporites, flaming flying fabroleans, 

Green guzzling gooblers, hip hopping hibblers,

To yellow yipplers and zagging ziggles

Oh and the characters are phenomenal 

So easily enchanting to entangle your imagination

There's someone to relate to for anyone and everyone

Short, wide, tall, bashful or boastful, there's a character for you

Merry Madness

We waited in lines for hours

Prior to the ticket sales office opening

While friends of ours sat in front of home computers

Mice highlighting the right button in anticipation

We were all ready for that moment

When the tickets went on sale

For the concert of a lifetime

With all of our favorite bands playing 11AM-11PM

Finally the flood gates opened

Our planning and poise were well rewarded

Between the group of us we all got pit tickets

Mainly due to our vigilance and fast mouse clicking

After about a month of planning

The exciting, long awaited day finally arrived

We all met at the diner anxious to roll

After the City View Breakfast feast we were ready to go

Upon arriving in the parking lot

We weren't surprised to find a little chaos and mischief

There were bus loads full of people pouring out

Cars and kids from all over the country

If you wanted it, you could find it

There was everything from hot dogs, hamburgers

Sausages; cases, coolers and kegs of beer

To vans and tents filled with jewelry, piercings and concert CDs

Of course there were the less then legal things to see

Paraphernalia from all parts of the globe

From glassware blown in California  

To Deluxe Zippos from Australia 

After some good old tail-gating

And a few beers we headed in

Past the vendors and souvenirs we walked to happiness

To a a filled with chaos and pit merry madness

A Technological Age

Life is moving faster each day

Computers process data quicker

GPS gets you there far better than any map

AOL, AI, AIM, BRB, CD, CGI, DVD EMAIL, GMAIL to

LMAO, LOL, MAC, MP3, NANO, OS, PC, WYSIWYG, ETC

You name your hobby, there's

A website or a blog for you

Everything from Appalachian hiking 

To zoo keeping and zoology
