Miss Otis Regrets

(cole porter)
Miss otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today.
Madam...
Miss otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today.
She is sorry to be delayed,
But last evening down at lover's lane, she strayed.
Madam...
Miss otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today.
~interlude~
When she woke from her dream
And found that her love had gone,
Madam...
She ran to the man
Who had led her so far astray.
And from under her velvet gown,
She drew a gun and shot her lover down.
Madam...
Miss otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today.
Then the mob came and got her
And dragged her from the jail.
Madam...
They strung her upon
A willow across the way.
And the moment before she died,
She lifted up her lovely head and cried.
Madam...
Miss otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today.

Miss Otis Regrets

Miss otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today, madam,
Miss otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.
She is sorry to be delayed,
But last evening down in lover's lane she strayed, madam,
Miss otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.
When she woke up and found that her dream of love was gone, madam,
She ran to the man who had led her so far astray,
And from under her velvet gown,
She drew a gun and shot her love down, madam,
Miss otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.
When the mob came and got her and dragged her from the jail, madam,
They strung her upon the old willow across the way,
And the moment before she died,
She lifted up her lovely head and cried, madam......
Miss otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.
Miss otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today

Miss Piggy regrets..

Miss Piggy regrets she’s unable to lunch today, madam..
Miss Piggy regrets she’s unable to lunch today:
That tastelessly named flu’s got her
(She forgot to wash her front trotter…) so
Miss Piggy regrets she’s unable to lunch today..

Miss Piggy regrets she’s unable to lunch today, madam..
Miss Piggy regrets she’s unable to lunch today:
It’s a swine of a stroke of bad luck:
Her eyelashes, she sneezed them unstuck… so
Miss Piggy regrets she’s unable to lunch today…

Miss Piggy regrets she’s unable to lunch today, madam..
Miss Piggy regrets she’s unable to lunch today:
She’s all pink from her snout to her face;
Her mascara’s all over the place… so
Miss Piggy regrets she’s unable to lunch today..

Why not try the lamb today, madam…?

A Humble letter to the Queen

Honored Madam,
I take this opportunity to wish you a happy birth day as I saw in the BBC the celebrations,
Oh! What a lovely pageant.
My blessings, you may long-lived!
Sri Lanka is once a colony under your kingdom.
Thank God we got independence.
But Madam you left your precious friend in our tiny country
And his name is ' Divide & Rule' a real gentleman.
One day some innocents died of a bomb explosion
But your precious BBC showed only the empty bus.
I think some defect to their cameras?
This ethnic cleansing is a by-product of your factory 'The Imperialism'.
Never mind Madam we can forget the past as we are Sri Lankan.
But I humbly request a favor Madam,
if possible could you please minimize?
You're prominent BBC's (Prima Donna) partial yelp!
Thanking you in anticipation of a kind and a favorable reply.
I remain Madam,
Yours most obediently,
A scribbler,
Nimal Dunuhinga

I dedicate this poem to Miss or Mrs. Dumeetha.Luthra (BBC correspondent in Sri Lanka) for your prominent double standard.

Fundamental of Liar Chapter CX: Ability

It’s not unable, it’s just not a favor
It’s not unable, it’s just reluctance
It’s not unable, it’s just not my style
It’s not unable, it’s just wrong
It’s not unable, it’s just no time
It’s not unable, it’s just out of place
It’s not unable, it’s just not consideration
It’s not unable, it’s just objection
It’s not unable, it’s just not effective
It’s not unable, it’s just stubbornness
It’s not unable, it’s just not important
It’s not unable, it’s just mercy

It is a New Day

Today is a new day
today is a new life
today, yes today is a special day
it never has occurred before
the sun light cast on today is ancient
the words I will speak will be for the first time, today
The air I breath is new today
the aches are new as well
the feelings are new today
my cats meow is new today
todays lunch I have is new
the thoughts I think are new today
the life I live today is new
indeed today is a new day

Let's Just Do Lunch

Somethings were said.
Some things to remind me to look ahead,
And not backward.
To forgive and let live instead.
And leave what was done...
In the past,
Where it is.
Dead!

Times have changed and so have we.
I agree I miss you.
But it's not a desperate need.
I miss the innocence...
Prior to those nasty arguments.
And I've taken the blame...
For anything you claimed I have done.
Even taking a chance,
Something may trigger and enhance...
What has now been overcomed.

I'd rather not take that road again.
Let's just do lunch!
Welcome this time we've had together.
And say goodbye when that time has come.
To depart as friends.
Let's just do lunch.
Not to think about a new beginning.
But celebrate an ending we have overcomed!
Let's just do lunch.
Enjoy that and leave this memory,
As a pleasant one!

0074 Spider spider...

Do spiders do what spiders do
with no alternative?

Or can they wake up one fine day
And think 'today I'll LIVE!

'I'll take the morning off today -
no repair work - (miss my lunch...) :

'then move my website far away
from that poetic bunch...'

Madam's Past History

My name is Johnson--
Madam Alberta K.
The Madam stands for business.
I'm smart that way.

I had a
HAIR-DRESSING PARLOR
Before
The depression put
The prices lower.

Then I had a
BARBECUE STAND
Till I got mixed up
With a no-good man.

Cause I had a insurance
The WPA
Said, We can't use you
Wealthy that way.

I said,
DON'T WORRY 'BOUT ME!
Just like the song,
You WPA folks take care of yourself--
And I'll get along.

I do cooking,
Day's work, too!
Alberta K. Johnson--
Madam to you.

Miss You

Those happy hours I spent with you,
That lovely afterglow,
Most of all, I miss you so.
Your sweet caresses each rendezvous,
Your voice so soft and low,
Most of all, I miss you so.
You once filled my heart,
No regrets, no fears,
Now you'll find my heart filled to the top with tears,
I'll always love you,
And want you too,
How much, you'll never know,
Most of all, I miss you so.
I'll always love you,
And want you too,
How much, you'll never know,
Most of all, I miss you so.
I'll always love you.
I miss you so.

If i Died Today

If idied today i would cry
i would cry for all the time i spent being sad
when i could have been smiling

if i died today i would weep
i would weep for all the love i never felt
when i was alive

If i died today i would be sad
sad that i never really got to feel special,
loved and cared for

If i died today it would break my heart
break my heart for all the times i have cried,
cried because i was in pain

if i died today i would be regretful
regretful for all for all the time wasted on vanity
and worrying what other people will think of me

if i died today i would forgive myself
forgive myself for being my best enemy
forgive myself for hating me so much

if i died today i would be devasted
devasted that i never really got to appreciate,
appreciate myself

if i died today i would feel lost because,
i have never really known
or found myself

if i died today i would miss me
i would miss me because i forgot all about mealong time ago
if i died to day i would cry for me.

A Day With No Regrets

I seek to express
With acts and words to impress
I live today, a day with no regrets
No stress, no distress shall ever wreck
The ecstasy that sings and rings within me
For today
A heart is liberate
A mind at rest
A body unstressed
Let the sun come forth and shine
Let worries and qualms resign
A world today I shall design
And adorn it; I shall with words of kind
For Today with them, I dine
Let the world set itself ablaze
With nothing but tranquility I gaze
For nothing shall arouse a daze
For I live today, a day with no regrets

~M.M.M

No Regrets

Harry tobias / ingraham
No regrets
Although our love affair has gone astray
No regrets
I know Ill always care though youre away
So now our happy romance ended suddenly
Still in my heart youll be forever mine
No regrets
Because somebody new looks good to you
No regrets
Sweetheart no matter what you say or do
I know our love will linger
When the other love forgets
So I say goodbye with no regrets
No regrets
Because somebody new looks good to you
No regrets
Sweetheart no matter what you say or do
I know our love will linger
When the other love forgets
So I say goodbye with no regrets

No Regrets

I have no regrets for loving you.
There is nothing different that I would do.
I have no regrets for loving you
for my love has turned into
long time peace that came my way
and ever the chance to have my say
everything that's been on my mind.

Do you have regrets for loving me?
Is there anything different you'd do?
Do you have regrets for loving me
after all that we've been through?

Angry times and foolish words
that sometimes made us sad
gave me all that I needed to know
that things were never that bad.

There are no regrets when you're in love.
The goodness is always there.
There are no regrets that we have found
in this love we share.

Will I

Will I miss the skies?
Will I miss the clouds?
Will I miss the ocean?
Will I miss the bay?
Will I miss the sunrise?
Will I miss the moon?
Will I miss the mountains?
Will I miss the trees?
Will I miss the city lights?
Will I miss the snow?
Will I miss the laughter?
Will I miss the jokes?
Will I miss touch?
Will I miss love?
Will I miss you?
Will i?
Will i?

Unable To Keep From Looking Back

Unable to face facts...
Is an unfortunate mindset to have,
When all foundations of the past...
Are being revealed to have cracks.

Every question one can ask,
Can today be traced to the truth.
And every denial one offers back,
Slips from a validity needlessly pursued.

The few amongst the many,
Feeling to be at peace with themselves...
Without the need for traps,
Also have a need to isolate from those...
Who stubbornly refuse,
To accept with belief these times we are at.

Unable to face facts.
Unable to keep from looking back.
Unable to shake away hours from a yesterday.
And...
Unable to say a grip held tightly,
Begins to fade and to drift away...
From one's existence.

Madam and Her Madam

I worked for a woman,
She wasn't mean--
But she had a twelve-room
House to clean.

Had to get breakfast,
Dinner, and supper, too--
Then take care of her children
When I got through.

Wash, iron, and scrub,
Walk the dog around--
It was too much,
Nearly broke me down.

I said, Madam,
Can it be
You trying to make a
Pack-horse out of me?

She opened her mouth.
She cried, Oh, no!
You know, Alberta,
I love you so!

I said, Madam,
That may be true--
But I'll be dogged
If I love you!

Coffee Dream

Although it’s only one hour till lunch -
my stomach won’t wait.
Non-stop growling for the past two hours
has gotten the best of me.
Besides, my taste buds
are ready to murder for a cup of coffee.
Should I say ‘murder’ in a courthouse?
I discovered myself in the eating lounge
with a coffee machine that still doesn’t work.
How unfair that I can’t leave the building
for a quick cup of coffee till lunch.
So, I resort to having the small salad and orange
that was to be my lunch.
Still, I want that coffee!
I’ll take it boiling hot
right out of the pot.
So now I look forward
to when then release us for lunch.
I plan to run down the street and get
a very large cup of coffee -
maybe two or three.
I desperately need my caffeine fix for today.

Missing You

To My Imagined Beloved

Missing you is hectic; I feel homesick;
Nostalgia is a heartache; it is a HEARTBREAK,
It makes me nervous, it hurts to be unable to rest,
It is rather painful, for I miss you to the full;
I miss you as a whole,
And as parts: I miss your flare, your fire; your flame,
How torturing…? What a fame! !
I miss it: when you respect, when you flatter
My confidence, my independence; my strength,
I miss your touch, when you are tender
With my weakness; with my wounds,
I miss your aura;
You are my aurora,
I miss loosing control before your sight,
I miss your dreamy eyes, your soft whispers,
Your MOON like smile, your SUNNY forehead,
Your DOVE colour skin,
They cause me to skirr, or be skittish
For fear to sink…to DROWN,
My memory longs to catch
You SPARROW steps, your DEER restlessness,
My heart and mind yearn for your: bright judgment,
Clever comment, and smart hint,
That's why I hide
From you… from LIFE,
So that I don't helplessly dive,
It hurts my pride, and increases my blight,
To see you by my side, but be unable to hold you tight.

Modern Love XXXVI: My Lady unto Madam

My Lady unto Madam makes her bow.
The charm of women is, that even while
You're probed by them for tears, you yet may smile,
Nay, laugh outright, as I have done just now.
The interview was gracious: they anoint
(To me aside) each other with fine praise:
Discriminating compliments they raise,
That hit with wondrous aim on the weak point:
My Lady's nose of Nature might complain.
It is not fashioned aptly to express
Her character of large-browed steadfastness.
But Madam says: Thereof she may be vain!
Now, Madam's faulty feature is a glazed
And inaccessible eye, that has soft fires,
Wide gates, at love-time only. This admires
My Lady. At the two I stand amazed.

When I look at the road

When I look at the road
Besides my house
I remember you
I miss you, but I am
unable to find you
I miss the scene when
You cross this road
with my heart lingering
where are you?
seeing the road, I miss you
more! I need you
please come to me soon
without you! the road
seems bare lifeless
I don't want to look there
If you are listening to me
Then come to me soon
As I miss you mine
when I look at the road.
