Gooney bird

Gooney bird my name
My only claim to fame
Of that name never was I ashamed
I grew up and got tamed

Now I never hear
That word so dear
Yes it's been many a year
Just the thought brings a tear

All this made up
Just drinking coffee from my cup
From a saucer once I did sup
Rather have a mint julep

This could go on for ever
But I have better endeavors
I have an idea that so clever
Stop this silliness and do something better

If only in my memories

Sunday morning and I was awaken by Ms S serenading us all with home home on the range.Home.That is on my mind today.I want to go.Back to my childhood where all seemed good.

Back to a simpler time.Back when nothing seemed impossible.A time where I believed in and trusted people.

That little 7 year old boy running up and down Juniper Street with his best friend Lassie is still me if only in my memories.
