VALENTINE INCLINE
For you I’d climb the highest peak
Of any Cal incline;
So hear me when these words I speak:
Please be my Valentine.
I’d keep your gauge of gasoline
At level of gallon nine.
I’ll keep your car so very clean;
So be my Valentine.
And when it comes to beer that’s first,
It’s Bud or Ballantine;
But only you can quench my thirst,
So be my Valentine.
If I were asked to pick and choose
Just any gal in line,
I’d pick on you; I could not lose—
Please be my Valentine!
PUSH BUTTON SOUND
I did not know she had installed
A button sounder in our bed.
I did not know what it was called
Or how it worked; we had just wed.
The sound it made was instant laughter;
It sounded off a minute after! Excerpts from "Thoughts Political" section
