Dinah Kneading Dough
I have seen full many a sight
Born of day or drawn by night:
Sunlight on a silver stream,
Golden lilies all a-dream,
Lofty mountains, bold and proud,
Veiled beneath the lacelike cloud;
But no lovely sight I know
Equals Dinah kneading dough.
Brown arms buried elbow-deep
Their domestic rhythm keep,
As with steady sweep they go
Through the gently yielding dough.
Maids may vaunt their finer charms--
Naught to me like Dinah's arms;
Girls may draw, or paint, or sew--
I love Dinah kneading dough.
Eyes of jet and teeth of pearl,
Hair, some say, too tight a-curl;
But the dainty maid I deem
Very near perfection's dream.
Swift she works, and only flings
Me a glance--the least of things.
And I wonder, does she know
That my heart is in the dough?

Ough''A Phonetic Fantasy
The baker-man was kneading dough
And whistling softly, sweet and lough.
Yet ever and anon he'd cough
As though his head were coming ough!
"My word!" said he," but this is rough:
This flour is simply awful stough!"
He punched and thumped it through and through,
As all good bakers dough!
" I'd sooner drive," said he " a plough
Than be a baker anyhough!"
Thus spake the baker kneading dough;
But don't let on I told you sough!

Tell Me Why
My heart that was only a toy in your hands
My love that was only to enjoy your silly soul
Dough you knew that the life was so hard for me
You have broke my wounded heart
Dough you knew what the time had happend to me
You willingly wounded my heart so deeply
If you never loved me why!
Why you excited my emotions for your love
Maybe my fault was just loving you
Or the happiness is forbidden for me to live in!
So tell me, who or what can bring back the happiness to my heart?

Boys Better
Boys had better beware
You could seem to color your hair.
Or on a wig, you already spent
All the dough to cover your rent.
But not so cool man
If you care, for all the
Other boys caught in your
Bleach job hair.
And girls better beware.
Boys, you better, you better.
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Boys said
She had,
Like gods hands.
A-men
Boys had better beware
You could seem a wasted affair
And like a bitch you already spent
All the dough you promised your friends
But not so cool man if you care
For all the other boys caught
In your bleach job hair.
And girls you better beware,
Boy you better, you better.
Oh man its not fair
To all the other boys caught
In your bleach job hair
And girls you better beware.
Boys, you better, you better

Your Cash Ain't Nothing But Trash
(c. calhoun)
Walking down the main drag one night
I met a fine chick that looked- just right
She stopped in and i flashed my roll
I told her she could have all of my dough
She turned around, and with a fround
She said this ain't no circus and i don't need a clown
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
So there ain't no need in your hangin' around
Just to make the hit with that chick
I tried to get a cadillac right quick
The man at the place looked so strange
I had nine hundred bucks and some change
We disagreed, i tried to pleed
He said i ain't no chicken and i don't need your feed
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Then brother you're crawling we passed your speed
I'm walking and countin my bucks
The man with the gun said hands up
I tried to get away but i was too slow
He caught me and took all of my dough
I heard him shout, as he cut out
"you really lost nothing what you're crying about?"
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
And he took my watch and i passed out
I woke in the arms of a big cop
Police station next stop
The judge swung his fist down plunk plunk
Twenty dollar fine 'cause you're drunk
Dig up the dough, and you can go
And all i had was a buffalo
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
But i sure better get me some more

The Storms And My Principles
The storm that destroyed my life so easly
It came to my life so callously.
It wounded my emotions like a knife so slowly
It broke my soul and had faded away abruptly
So how can a sensitive girl with this broken heart
Go on living in this savage world without just
Where is the fair in this world or how can be found
I can't disregard my principles and throw them away
I can't be insensitive woman without rights
These pure emotions
are the only wealth that I have
And they will never die
Till the day that ill die
Those principles may always brought me the sadness but the heavens too
Dough they always deprived
the smile entering my life
And i'm sure that they always will do
Dough they always have afflicted my heart
And they always will do
But they are the reason that make me feel proud of myself

Broken wings of love
I Know that my love is gone
I know that it never will come
But broken
Heart of mine
Still singing the love songs
And how admiring that
Broken wings of love
Still trying to fly
Dough they know you will never come back
How great is the love!
I know that my heart will never stop singing
Your song
I know that my soul will never
stop trying to fly
Dough you have broken the wings of love thousands of times
How admiring that they still alive and survive
And still trying to fly
How great is the Love...

Unchain the love
How savage you are to destroy the hearts and fade away without any whys.
How selfish you are to run without looking back denying to see the broken heart behind.
How poor you are broken heart of mine that never you had the glory of forgetting.
to let your dreams there and walk away without looking back.
How hard i've tried but never could i leave your love out of my broken heart.
Dough the memories will stay around but the life is passing by.
So unchain your soul, get out of the emptiness.
Unchain the love, you can not forbid the love, even dough oneday you gave him the light of your eyes.
You can't stay like a slave waiting all your life time for returning of your love.
Unchain the love, unchain your soal.
Forget those memories that are stillalive.
The way that he smiles, the warmth of his hugs.
The smell of his love that the angel of love still spreading all around.

Super Sports
Soccer is the worlds favourite sport (Well I personelly think so! ! !) . The people who adore it the most, definetly should eat toast! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
But with AFL you always scream (sometimes that makes you eat alot of cream!) :) On with the poem we go hey i feel like making some dough! Oh NO don't get me started about making dough!
Soccer is definetly different to Football You can't use you're hands thats why they don't use pans.
Football you have to be a tool. I'm not bagging it out but if you go for the saints then you're fully awesome!
That's all I have to say! Oops I forgot to say g'day!

Meditation By The Stove
I have banked the fires
of my body
into a small but steady blaze
here in the kitchen
where the dough has a life of its own,
breathing under its damp cloth
like a sleeping child;
where the real child plays under the table,
pretending the tablecloth is a tent,
practicing departures; where a dim
brown bird dazzled by light
has flown into the windowpane
and lies stunned on the pavement--
it was never simple, even for birds,
this business of nests.
The innocent eye sees nothing, Auden says,
repeating what the snake told Eve,
what Eve told Adam, tired of gardens,
wanting the fully lived life.
But passion happens like an accident
I could let the dough spill over the rim
of the bowl, neglecting to punch it down,
neglecting the child who waits under the table,
the mild tears already smudging her eyes.
We grow in such haphazard ways.
Today I feel wiser than the bird.
I know the window shuts me in,
that when I open it
the garden smells will make me restless.
And I have banked the fires of my body
into a small domestic flame for others
to warm their hands on for a while.

The First Time That We Met
The first time that we met
There the love begun
The first glance of your's that made my heart born again
It diverted like a child like a fool
And it was so glad because of finding you
My heart is always there never will apart
Its with you always and having you inside so no one can see it
Its your love that has begun here in my heart and still living here
I thought that oneday can forget your love but how foolish we become when we fall in love
Your love that brought the life to my
Now its taking the life from my heart
Dough we are apart but I have you inside
Deeper so deeper of my heart
So no one can see you
No one can touch you
No one can take you away from me
The first place that we met
Do you remember?
Our hearts are always there whispering our names
How much I am thirsty to those days
They are always figured in my mind
Maybe you were just a sweet dream
But how a pity that we have to wake up from dreams

Time Is Cruel
time is cruel
i have seen how
rashly she ears off
every page
of my calendar
my hair turns white
got more furrows
on my face
my arms are slow
my feet like dough
at the last hour
i wait on one of the benches
on the park and i shall
fade like a
premature sunset

A Song (#1)
ON a summer's day as I sat by a stream,
A dainty maid came by,
And she blessed my sight like a rosy dream,
And left me there to sigh, to sigh,
And left me there to sigh, to sigh.
On another day as I sat by the stream,
This maiden paused a while,
Then I made me bold as I told my dream,
She heard it with a smile, a smile,
She heard it with a smile, a smile.
Oh, the months have fled and the autumn's red,
The maid no more goes by;
For my dream came true and the maid I wed,
And now no more I sigh, I sigh,
And now no more I sigh.

Dream On
(being, in love)
Been travelling this road for so long
My eyes are tired but I carry on
The sun lays down its golden threads
I need a place to rest my head
Although I am far from home now
My souls with you
Its hard to be out here on my own
So far away, so far from home
I need to touch and feel your skin
To live this dream in sleep again
Although I am far from home now
My souls with you
So dream on, dream on
Freedom comes with timeless sleep
Dream on, dream on
In the arms of night
Your silent shadow gently speaks
Dream on, dream on
This hotel rooms a lonely place
Its a one night cell I must escape
So I drink away my loneliness
So I can sleep and dream again
Although I am far from home now
My souls with you
And as I fall into
The darkness of the night
You come to rescue me to
Shield me in your light
I feel your touch
The softness of your skin
You hold me close before
The day breaks in
This dreams so true
My heart it beats, it beats
It beats for you, for you
Although I am far from home now
My souls with you
So dream on, dream on
Freedom comes with timeless sleep
Dream on, dream on
In the arms of night
Your silent shadow gently speaks
So dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on
So dream on, dream on
Dream on
