Family traditions, we must always carry on
Gathered together, at the table, we pray
For the bountiful life we are so thankful for
Not just on Thanksgiving, but every day

It’s hard to believe three years have passed
It seems like it was only yesterday, but alas
You left this earth, and found a new place
But deep in my heart, you left a huge space
Friends til the end, though often, we’d fight
Eventually, always making everything right
Promised to be the last two standing, we did
But you left before me, I’m still here, on this grid
I miss the laughter, with those silly tales you’d tell
But I know, up there, you’re giving somebody hell
Miss you, buddy… In loving memory of Paul Pannone 1960 – 2015

Hey down there, can you see me?
I’m waving, from way up here
Tethered, to this mechanical arm
In space, the “Final Frontier”
Surely, you cannot miss me
I’m floating around in midair
My comrades said I wouldn’t do it
So, I’m really out here, on a dare
Now comes the part that’s the hardest
Seems the shuttle was on its last trip
Can someone please come and get me?
They left me hanging in space, with no ship!

Little Lady Lily, such a silly forest sprite
Got stuck in a tree, and stayed there all night
Til a bird landed on her, but it couldn’t speak elf
Lady Lily didn’t care, she’d have to teach it herself
Soon, many feathered friends, learning the words
Did pass them along, to all the other birds
The little forest creatures, kept chattering away
Seems all this time, they’d had an awful lot to say
Lady Lily didn’t care, decided to build a new home
Up in the tree, a little nest, the only one, with a dome

Friends till the end, forever, they cried
On the battlefield, beaten, tis when they died
Now locked together, by their own man-made chains
Only problem about them, was neither had a brain
You’d think by now, they would know how to break
The bindings around them, how much could it take?
But emotions ran high, and soon they did fight
Yelling at each other, all day and all night
When one would go left, the other went right
Things got so nasty, the neighbors took flight
Then the Devil himself, called them to him
Demanded they behave, and then, on a whim
He decided the two, must forever stay
The way they came to him, on that fateful day
And he went a step further, making sure he was clear
No more arguing nor fighting, or they’d disappear
But that wasn’t the only thing that made them cranky
He named one of them Clinky, and the other one, Clanky
