Ode to Rontu

Rontu oh Rontu,
Your pink tongue
hanging
in the
sun
It is true you are very fun
you like to lie
in
the
sand
Wich shows very
well you are
to
lazy
to stand
Rontu oh Rontu,
you ears never flop,
you
are
always
alert
You try to catch
seagulls,
who
are
all
about
You have never caught
one
for
they
cry
and
they
shout
Rontu oh Rontu,
even though it
breaks
my
heart
to
say
goodbye,
you will always be in
my heart


Dedicated to Rontu, a great dog from Island of the Blue Dolphins

Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan is the place to go see, with beautiful music,
that is where you will find me
There is plenty of food to eat and happy new faces to meet
The Caspian Sea rolls under your feet
You can see snow in the winter right from your window seat.
Azerbaijan is a wonderful place, especially in the summer haze.

Moms

Dedicated to my mother.
Today we celebrate her birthday.

Moms oh, moms!

Moms are great. They are better than chocolate cake.
Moms take care of you, and love you too.

Wind

Wind oh wind, how frigid you are, and you travel so far.
You help the hawk soar and close the eyes of ones who walk on all for.

Wind oh wind, you can be as loud as the waves, or as quite as the caves.
You have so much power, some types of wind can knock down a tower.

Wind oh wind, you are wonderful it's true.
Sometimes you make me wonder can anything be as great as you.

Life

Life can be as calm as the sea or as quite as the breeze.
Life can be as fierce as the wind or as rough as a storm.
Life is a ride but from it you can not hide.

Creatures of the Night

Once the sun goes down and the night comes out, out come the creatures of the night. A bird snuggles in her nest, while an owl puts herself to the test with bright yellow eyes she looks for food under the moonlight. Little white eyes scurry through the trash looking for food. Why, it's only a racoon. When you look in the sky, what do you see? A bat soaring near the moon, in the night the excitement never ends, while everyone is snug in bed.

Azul Azul

Azul, Azul, how I love you Azul.
There's more to you then meets the eye.

Azul, Azul confusing you are, you can be deep as the sea or light as the sky.
You can bring peace to the soul and comfort to the heart.

Your colors are like art. Azul, Azul how I love you Azul.
The world to you is like a blank canvas, waiting to be amazed at your masterpiece.

Azul, Azul I watch you as you go, bringing smiles to faces and turning smiles upside down.

Azul, Azul how do you do what you do, how I love you Azul.
