Hitched in Manly

“Hitched in Manly”

by Wayne Gagnon
(for Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban, Sunday and Faith)

A Sheila and Bloke…
…met in the States.
Each is a spunk…
…and a corker as mates!

That Sheila and Bloke…
…got hitched down in Manly.
Bend an elbow for love…
…and the start of a family.

Then came ankle biters…
…like lollies, so sweet
This mob from Down Under…
…now seems quite complete.

Aussie Glossary:

Ankle biters – kids, children
Bend an elbow – drink, toast
Bloke – man
Corker – a really good thing
Down Under – Australia and New Zealand
Hitched – married
Lollies – candy
Manly – suburb of Sidney
Mates – friends
Mob – family
Sheila – woman
Spunk – good looking person

Wayne Gagnon - Cats and Lights and Traffic

“Lights and Traffic and a Cat”

by Wayne Gagnon
(for Eric D.)

Traffic and a loose cat…
…determine his fate.
Red lights and a feline…
…(are) making him late.

A loose cat and red lights…
…get in his way.
A feline and traffic…
…(the) bane of his day

Note:

Eric was late for work today.

Mommy & Dad…

…and Stella makes four.
Daddy & Mom…
…have more to adore.

Tori & Dean…

Mommy & Dad…

Sweet Jess and handsome Cash…

“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
