                                     SPRINGTIME

Turn that chill time
in a bottle to spring-up cap…
Sweat on the court…
When it’s springtime, it’s Sprite
on the wall…

  IT’S NOT A GOOD-IDEA.

It’s not a good-idea to date
anything and everything wearing
a skirt because, for one, it’s not
healthy because, you could end up
making troubles for yourself including,
confusion that could come back to haunt
you, sooner or later….
And you could also
end-up unintentionally hurting someone or
others…  Love and attention are important
but, it’s just not a good-idea to date
anything and everything wearing a skirt…

 SWEET AS CANDY

A black Ford AC Cobra-
It’ll give you a cavity
looking at it because, it’s as
sweet as candy…
A little sugar
never hurts anyone unless, you love
the dentist…

 DON’T TRIP!!!

The car that you drive may not be new
but, it still runs. Furthermore. It’s
paid for, so don’t trip!!! You can afford
to go on vacation next year while many are
strapped with a car payment, mortgage and
credit-cards that takes their whole-entire
paycheck-  and they can’t even afford White Castles,
so don’t trip!!! At least, you can buy groceries.
Yep! They may have you buying their groceries too.
They better quit trippin’!!! Don’t Trip!!!

Many have relatives and friends whom like expensive,
special-blend coffee but, let me say this. They need
to just get a bag and write “Special Blend Coffee” on
the bag and then hook them up with some Folgers and
then call it a day, so don’t trip!!!

Don’t be fooled by appearances just because your
family, friends or what-have-you have a fancy car,
fancy clothes and a fancy house because, most of the
time, they do not have anything but bills and expenses
and nothing else…
Furthermore. They may have
creditors calling them about past-due bills. You’re
maintaining and holding your own-  and they can’t
say nothin’ so don’t trip!!!  Plus! At times, they may
borrow money from you. Tell them that they better
maintain and quit trippin’!!!!
You’re blessed with a
job and that’s more than many people can say. Many
people are LAZY about working a job but, you work
your job and maintain your own so, tell the jealous
people and critics that you’re really tryin’, so don’t
trip!!!…
The phrase for today and for life is:
DON’T TRIP!!!!….

                   YELLOW’S AND A BUMP

Yellow and hearing organ played
warmth in a song-
I’m three years old to
a yellow sweater held in Brenda’s lap-
Bump-bump, she does-
Yellow cream corn, I use a spoon… butterscotch candy
reminds me of Sly And The Family Stone…
The name Carol does, Everybody Is A Star…
Yellow backing-up red-
here’s some candy for a good boy…

Trickle down on a piano-key-

writer of the most lives lived…

 CYCLONE SPOILER

If you think that you’ve got it
to be starting something, you’re
very shy to quit-

Come and meet my 1970 Cyclone Spoiler GT,
promising threat to GM, Chrysler and other
sorts tonight-
Even snakes by Shelby…
You’ll get your leaves raked, bagged and set
to the curb for collection tonight, tomorrow
or whenever-  if anyone will want to know some
tricks of their own….

To survive-  the difference matters that I know
tonight, to the bridge, the distance to the
headlights of my own will…

I DON’T PLAY GAMES

When people say: “Don’t hate the
player. Hate the game.” I have an
answer for them-

One. I do not play games.
And two, it takes two to play a game and
when one doesn’t play, the game is over…

   I LOVE CURVES ON A WOMAN

Everyone has a right to their opinions
as well as to choose. The truth plain
and simple is, I love curves on a woman…

Yes. Men love women that are small and petite
but I’m the type of man that absolutely loves
curves on a woman…  And believe me! I’m not
alone…
Even if I were, I would still tell the
truth plain and simple that I love curves on a
woman…  A woman that fills out her outfits like
a job application…
Big thighs? Yes! Big hips? Yes!
Bosom too? Yes!…. I know and accept what I love…
Intelligence too… That application is complete…
So if a man or woman were to
come to me and tell me that a curvy woman or women
were fat and unhealthy, I’m asking for their
forgiveness in advance, when I tell them in a nice,
respectful manner that they have totally lost their
minds…
Beauty is in my eyes whenever I see curves
on a woman….

CURVES

In this world today their idea and concept
of “fat” and unhealthy is my idea and concept

Curves… She’s phat and

  TERM OF ENDEARMENT

Many women will say that men are dogs and I won’t deny that men can be
something-else however, there are a lot of women that aren’t exactly
angels themselves, either.

I have news for y’all. Being called a dog isn’t a degrading, put-down
remark anymore. It actually is and has become a word and term of
endearment among men and too, is being used among women in the ways of
saying:
“Wazzup Dog?”
“Yo dog! Wazzup?”
“Hey! That’s my dog!”
“You chillin, dog?”
“Yo! Where my dog at?”
“Yo! You my dog and I gotcha’ back!”

This term and word of endearment can and has created a closer bonding
process among stereo-types and others too.

Whenever you hear women making remarks such as: “Men are dogs!” and men
saying likewise about women and just beat it to death like a drum in a
parade it’s actually THEY THEMSELVES that’s something-else to put up
with and not the other depending on the situation and scenario. If both
are doing it to each other even though, there’s always two-sides to every
story, Hey! They might just be two people that really deserve each other
after all…

BEWARE, BE AWARE, STAY AWARE

 In all that you may do in life, it is very important that
you also beware, be aware as well as stay aware because you
never know what you may encounter or may have to deal with…

Furthermore, you never know what life is going to deal you from
one moment to the next…
Beware, be aware and stay aware…
