Battle Hymn of the Republic

Cannot remember who taught me these verses, but I passed them on to my kids, my Girl Scout Troop and car pool kids.  Just wondered if anyone else was subjected to such whimsy♫♪

Participating in Alphabe-Thursday letter B.  Check out the other participants!
These tongue twisting verses go to the tune of the Battle Hymn of the Republic:

1. One pink porpoise popped up the hole

The other pink porpoise popped down 

One pink porpoise popped up the hole

The other pink porpoise popped down 

One pink porpoise popped up the hole 

The other pink porpoise popped down  

As one pink porpoise popped up the hole 

The other pink porpoise popped down

Refrain

Glory, glory how peculiar

Glory, glory how peculiar

Glory, glory how peculiar 

As one pink porpoise popped up the hole 

The other pink porpoise popped down

2. One free fly flew up the flue

The other free fly flew down...etc.

3. One warm worm wiggled up the walk

the other warm worm wiggled down...etc.

I'm sure more verses could be made up but these were enough to get everyone singing♫♪

Now that this is stuck in your head....deal with it! and have a nice day♥

Time for T....an entry for ABC Wednesday♫♪

1. There may be thunder in the mountains and thunder on the plains,

There may be rocks along the road and heartache down the lane.

Floods run down the hillside and fire takes the trees.

There's times when earth just opens up wide

And swallows all its needs.

You fill my future perfectly.

We can face each others fears,

Even when we're wrapped in

Darkest night.

Refrain:

Thunder in the mountain

Precedes a future imperfect.

Rumbling our world apart,

Our love it will dissect.

Time will be on our side,

As we chart the course of our lives

Hanging on and focused

On our fight.

2. Illness may besiege us or we will face calamity.

We will feel like falling, collapsing to our knees.

We have just a lifetime to meet our destiny.

But know that love will hold together

When thunder claps its hands.

~

Refrain

3. You may hear the thunder pounding through your veins.

As grief has taken hold of your life expanding wounds and pains.

Tears will salt our lifetime, and test our love's stronghold

But we will face the storms together

When thunder traps our peace.

Refrain

Heaven and earth may change their course but we'll pass through it all.

Love is on our side, nothing can penetrate that wall.

You fill my future perfectly.

We can face each other’s fears,

Even when we're wrapped in

Darkest night.

Refrain

Time will be on our side,

As we chart the course of our lives

Hanging on and focused

On our fight.

Refrain (2X)

Thunder in the mountain, love will pass the test

Thunder in the mountain, thunder put to rest.

Aqua’s End

1. Thought you should know

We’re becoming more than friends.

Recently your oceanic eyes

Have been giving me the bends.

Falling into the depths of your heart

Is my Aqua’s End, my term for paradise.

I think I should be honest with the way I feel

And plunge into a headfirst dive.

Refrain:

I thought that you should know…Caught in your undertow…

I’m part of how your life has ebb and flow.

I thought that you should know…Caught in your undertow…

I’m part of how your life has ebb and flow.

You’re my best favorite friend, I’ll follow you to aqua’s end.

You’re my best favorite friend, I’ll follow you to aqua’s end.

I thought that you should know…Caught in your undertow…

I’m part of how your life has ebb and flow.

2. Time’s doin’ it’s thing;

Hour glass is dripping sands of time.

Lately you are like my lunar tide

Pulling me on emotion rides.

Falling into the depths of your heart

Is my Aqua’s End, my term for paradise.

I think I should be honest with the way I feel

And plunge into a headfirst dive.

Refrain

You’re my best favorite friend.

I’ll follow you to aqua’s end.

You’re my best favorite friend.

I’ll follow you to aqua’s end.

(Mixed with refrain)

Between Breathbeats

Participating in Alphabe-Thursday letter Z (ending in Z!)

Went through the alphabet, wondering what terms could be made without any vowels and came up with this little piece, so....

A poem for your perusal today: Make of it what you will♫

Brrr….

….Mmmm….

….Zzzzzz

(There is also Shh, Grr, Psst, Pfft, and Hmm...any others?)

Raspberry Rain

You may have to move the cursor to the right so it will play all the way through♪

My daughter has begun making up her own piano pieces and I really liked this tune, so I added some instruments and lyrics:  this is the resulting instrumental♫♪
Then I worked on a rainy Saturday and took some photos through my windshield without the wipers going....my postal truck's big windshield makes for a great filter!!!
Participating in ABC Wednesday-Letter R

1. It must have been a blustery day 

That threw you in my path to stay.

You make me feel these pelts of rain

That mark my heart with dripping stain.

The gripping storm defines our ties.

The maelstrom strikes beyond your lies.

But I’m not past our drama-rama.

Raspberry rain

Heart soaked with stain

Drizzled with pain.

2. Who said parting is such sweet sorrow?

Words I hoped never to borrow

  Sugar coated rotten tastes

Have caused myself to go to waste.

You’ve ruined me, so here’s the deal

I need time, some time to heal.

My heart’s been crushed to jam-a-rama

Raspberry rain

My heart’s down the drain

~

Splashing through deep puddles

Pulls me under

Cold and to the core

I’m drowning In this downpour

Floods of fallen tears

Break all my barriers...

3. I thought you were protecting me

But I’ll adjust, I’ll learn to be

observant of how things are done

And look out more for number one

I can’t depend, I won’t depend

On being sheltered from the rain.

You can’t be my umbrella fella

Raspberry rain

Heart soaked with stain

Raspberry rain

Heart soaked with stain

Drizzled with pain.

I'll not be your drama momma...

Your Days Are Numbered

A heavy instrumental of dire warnings:
Participating in Alphabe-Thursday letter Y
and Inspire Me Monday...click on the links and join in♫

1. Your Days are numbered.

No matter where you stand

Or how you stand or why you stand,

I know it’s crossed your mind,

That your days are numbered.

Oh, you have made your plans

And if you can, you’ll never have

To bother thinking that it’s

Your days that are numbered.

Chorus:

So open up you eyes and maybe you will realize

The Lord is in your life,

And He has your number.

Your Days Are Numbered (2X)

2. Try to remember.

You think that life’s a pain

And there is nothing to be gained.

Your problems overwhelm and

You can’t remember.

Oh days are speeding by,

And if you think of it you’ll try

To spend some perfect time,

But it’s your days that are numbered.

Chorus:

Your Days Are Numbered (5X)

3. You’re not to surrender

So just make up your mind to view

Your journey’s end is new.

The Word will give your cue,

So do not surrender.

You can persevere

And you will be inspired still,

And you will be relieved

That your days are numbered.

Keep opening your eyes, and now you can realize

The Lord is in your life,

And He has your number.

(mixed)

He has your number. (6X)

(Your days are numbered) (6X)

Not sure if it is an admonishment or an encouragement to Get Right with God, but this Age of Grace has to be nearer to its end than its beginning♫

Silky smooth talker

Phones you with the op.

To get in quick,

  Make your money thick

A chance that’s unique,

 (He knows what makes you weak.)

Your questions, he has answers

He’ll even stop you

To give you his reference number.

 Check it out at your convenience.

(Knowing all the while, it’ll never be researched.)

He’ll get back to you within the week.

This opportunity’s reached its peak!

You become the balker.

The investment price makes you stop.

‘Well, wait awhile, just got a text,’

Says our mysterious mr. X

‘My supervisor is at my side

 With a discount only he can provide.

You’re uniquely situated!

We can accommodate.’ You feel it’s fated.

‘Send the papers, here’s my card…’

Total transaction is not hard.

Everyone feels gratified

Until you need to be clarified.

X is off this week (or year)

And from him you’ll never hear

His money’s pocketed

You’ve been soaked

Buyer beware

Is never a joke.
