I remember when the

electricity went out

at our house. The

only candles my mom

could find were

birthday candles.

***

But each time

she lit one

one of us would

make a wish and

blow it out. 

***

In short order

the two of us

had stored several

wishes a piece

***

Mom told us to

stop immediately

and find

something else to do

***

Like, sing a song.

***

So my sister and I sang

“happy birthday”

to the dark

If it is true

we return to earth

each life-time to

improve upon

our previous self,

I really should be

better at juggling

than I am.

For ease & speed

I keep all of

my files under

one letter,

‘F’ for ‘Files’

Now I don’t need

any other of the

letter tabs

Except for P & H —

because together,

they spell Philes, too

At the market

I saw a Nestle

100 Grand bar

selling for

$0.59.

That’s a big discount.

The end of

the world

is going to

land on

somebody’s

birthday

(Big deal!)

.

If you see me fall

please don’t help me

I don’t want to be your

trouble and pain.

***

All I ever wanted to do

was make you happy

So if you see me fall

leave me lay

***

And If I just can’t stand

please don’t get up

I don’t want to be your

trouble and strife

***

All I wanna do 

is prove to you

I can help myself

so if you see me fall

leave me lie

***

I know you’ve been by my side

when-ever I needed you.

But you got a lot on

your plate now, baby

You don’t need me at all

***

Whistle break

***

So if you see me fall

please don’t help me

I don’t want to be your

trouble and pain

***

All I ever wanted to do

was make you happy

So if you see me fall

If you see me fall

If you see me fall

leave me lay

My shirt wasn’t

always black

but I accidentally

washed it with

an octopus

 

I don’t know

what kind of

can-opener 

Chef Boyardee

uses at home,

but you

can bet it’s

a good one.
