Entertainers

Frank Sinatra
A Philly guy
Whenever he sang
He made the girls cry

Elvis Presley
His hips would swing
No one had ever
Seen such a thing

The Beatles Invasion
No guns, just songs
Causing an uproar
Among the throngs

Michael Jackson
Did the moon walk
His personal life
Created much talk

Madonna came
Breaking the ice
It was okay for women
To be naughty and nice

Entertainers
We’ve come to adore
Many of whom
Are with us no more

Recycle

Recycle our clothes
Give to the poor
Recycle our cans
Return to the store

Recycle the food
The stores discard
Putting in dumpsters
In their backyard

Recycle our pets
In shelters they live
While you’re missing out
On the love they give

Recycle belongings
At your garage sale
If you keep prices low
You cannot fail

Pollution

We’re polluting the air
We’re polluting the seas
The ground where we walk
And even the trees

We use plastic bottles
To take a drink
When once we used
The kitchen sink

And all of these bottles
Will never decay
Buried in landfills
Quite far away

Paper or plastic
No more can we choose
It’s plastic bags
That can’t be reused

Those baby diapers
Just throw them away
Most don’t use cloth
Much money they’ll pay

Pills you’re not using
Don’t throw down the sink
Not good for the fish
Is this mixed drink

And global warming
Is here to stay
The icebergs are melting
Day after day

Yesterday, today and tomorrow - a tribute to Robin Williams

A tribute to Robin Williams who took his own life in August 2014

Yesterday a superstar
A funny man you played
You also starred in serious roles
Many talents you displayed

Was everyone unaware
Of depression you endured
The drinking and the drugs you took
Should not have been ignored

Another day you could not live
You were in so much pain
Deciding you must hang yourself
And now who is to blame

So many people were in shock
Surprised at what you’ve done
All that remains are memories
And all the hearts you’ve won
