He calls himself “fashion poet”,
One or two others know it…
In pursuits
Avoiding lawsuits,
He certainly doesn’t want to blow it!
–
Him being man and all,
Must carefully judge his call…
With less passion
Than stereotypical fashion,
Not being the Beast at the ball.
–
Gender matters to him,
Especially if women…
They’re the kind
He most has in mind,
Do they mind if he tiptoes in?

This modeler became chipper,
Receiving a new rail clipper…
Now his joints there
Were reasonably square,
Gandy dancers didn’t snicker.
–
When testing his track found a glitch,
Replaced the oldest train switch…
Threw it away
In the garbage to stay?
New track kept trains from the ditch!
–
Rebuilt the long run-around,
Whose rail joints were now sound…
Good symmetry
From track brands (three-?),
No rail cars hit the ground.
–
Those huge rough-soldered leads,
Of wires to rail have needs…
Alternative means
Or file them down clean,
Then soon we start planting fake weeds!

ā¤Ā Ā Ā JOANNEĀ Ā Ā ā¤
–
Putting it very succinctly,
Joanne inĀ our eyes is distinctly…
A treasure to see
While we happily,
Visit her office meekly.
–
In fashion that’s the best,
In professional confidence rests…
Her cheery manner
With not a complainer,
Or any of which we’ll attest!
–
Blessed by her children dear,
We’re blessed by her presence here…
Those of us taken,
Loyalties unshaken
Would make our affection of her clear!
–
We hope this Valentine will do,
We sure do appreciate you…!

CHOSEN BY GOD–NOW GROW!
(Ephesians 1: 1-6; 15-23)
–
Open my eyes, oh Lord Most High,
That I see and comprehend…
All the SpiritĀ found in Thy Word–
The Wisdom that has no end.
–
Brothers and sisters praying for me,
Uplifting me through prayer…
That I may see and practice–
Avoiding demonic snare!
–
Shepherd and under-shepherd both,
Ply Christ Jesus’ troth,
His Body–His Bride–
The Church might abide
In the mind of Christ with growth.
–
Strengthen then your resolve,
To ask Spirit’s help to see…
All God’s wonder, power and mercy
And with the same, treating me!
–
If forceful men and women
Can hoodwink the American news crowd…
And not challenged for their deception,
We humble ourselves–not Proud.
–
If they can’t see through veiling,
How then can we…
Except humble asking for wisdom
From our Father God in eternity?
–
If only…the Christians would rise up–
If only they believed for sure…
That Christ, God’s Son, gave us Power
In His Spirit to do and endure!

PIPPIN…I UNDERSTAND!
–
PIPPIN, a play on Broadway,
A musical, had much to say…
About wanting life
Beyond house and wife,
The ultimaye thrill foray!
–
In the end he chooses not death,
A deadly stunt for last breath…
Is left on bare stage,
Two kids, wife, arrayed
In skivvies…all he has left.
–
In a small way, I understand,
It’s exciting in faerie lands…
My train layout
Once worked out,
Concedes to real demands.
–
I can’t extend that-away,
To the floor it is a long way…
Gotta choose carefully
The right industries,
The right combination for “play”.
–
Embarrassed by sudden wealth,
I am beside myself…
At most maybe two
Or three engines do
With the rest staged upon a shelf!
–
As for my life, it’s grand,
Subject to the Lord’s command…
His love falls like dew
Every day is brand new,
Even PIPPIN would see mine as grand.
