Yankee Cowgirl

“Yankee Cowgirl”
by Wayne Gagnon
(For Tammy)

Cowgirl Tammy…
…heads down South…
…with faithful steed in tow.

She’ll show them how…
…the Yankees ride.
They’ll soon be eating crow.

NOTE:

My Cowgirl Sister Tammy is riding in the 2012 AQHA Pfizer Versatility Ranch Horse World Show March 1-3, 2012.

One, Two, Four

by Wayne Gagnon
(For Jessica Alba, Cash Warren, Honor and Haven)

Sweet Jess and  handsome Cash…
…their romance quickly grew.
What started as one and one…
…became a Terrific Two.

Miss Honor and Miss Haven…
…came knocking at the door.
Now this growing family…
…became a Fantastic Four.

Dem Babies

by Wayne Gagnon
(For Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon,
Moroccan and Monroe)

Dem Babies are such lovelies!
Proud Mom and loving Dad.
Giggles when they’re happy…
…tears when they are sad.

Dem Babies are quite wondrous!
Proud Dad and loving Mom.
They rock and roll all daytime…
…nighttime, keep them calm.

Dem Babies are n’credible!
Sweet Roe and handsome Roc.
They bring such joy (and laundry)…
…bright smiles (and dirty socks)

Dem Babies are such visions!
Dear Roc and pretty Roe.
Such love, you can’t deny…
…from tops to every toe

Today (or Yesterday)

by Wayne Gagnon

Twisted turn, whatever for?
(go) Up the stairs, unlock the door.
Abandoned pot soaks in the sink.
Sleepless night. Too much to think.

Mrs. O’Lady

by Wayne Gagnon

Mrs. O’Lady…
…has silv’ry locks
She makes magical sculptures…
…with mud and with rocks

Mrs. O’Lady…
…lives high on a ridge
She sings her sweet songs…
…as she skips ‘cross the bridge

Mrs. O’Lady…
…comes out at mid-day
She’ll dance down the street…
…with fresh-picked bouquet

Mrs. O’Lady…
…has plenty to share
She’ll mend all your woes…
…with love and with care

Schmutz and Jam

“Schmutz and Jam”

by Wayne Gagnon

Runny nose…
…and smelly foots?
Toes got jam…
…and nose got schmutz?

Scrub the foots…
…and blow the nose!
Buy your mom…
…a lovely rose!

(for Spencer)

The pink giraffe (on Saturday)…
…off exit twenty-two.
Sign your name and form a line…
…and she will listen to you.

Play your song and play it well…
…that’s what you came here for.
If she likes the way you play…
…she’ll ask you back for more.

By Wayne Gagnon (a vicarious traveler)

Wand’ring Mister Elephant…
…you travel here and there.
You swim beneath the ocean…
…and float high in the air.

Wand’ring Mister Elephant…
…you travel South and West.
You share exciting stories…
…of every little quest.

Wand’ring Mister Elephant…
…you travel near and far.
You send me lots of postcards…
…to tell me where you are.

Wand’ring Mister Elephant…
…you travel North and East.
Visit me next April…
…I’ll treat you to a feast.
