Zoe's Song

Zoe's is also spelled out but it is a made up tune.

Benjamin

Here is the song I made up (and Granny edited) for Ben when he was a wee lad. Sung to the tune of "Oh Christmas Tree."

Benjamin
Oh, Benjamin
B-E-N-J-A-M-I-N

Born in the summer of  '81
Mike and Diana's new born son

Benjamin
Oh, Benjamin
B-E-N-J-A-M-I-N

Diana, Where Art Thou Going?

A short break from Bop poems to write down family members' songs. This is the song my mother used to sing to me.

Diana, where art thou going?
Upstairs to take a bath.

Diana, thin as a toothpick
Head shaped just like a tack.

Diana stepped in the bathtub
Pulled out the stopper plug
Oh my goodness
Oh my soul
There goes Diana down the hole.

Thanks, Mom.

The "Wo" in Woman Comes From Woe

July 1988



The "wo" in woman comes from woe.

The pain of childbirth proves it's so;

The pain of men who are free to go,

And other pain that women know ~

A "wo"man's life is full of woe.
