Inhaltsangabe

Within is a collaboration of serious, spiritual, humorous, cute, thought-provoking selections that, because they have a tendency to rhyme, are classified as odes. Subject matter covers friendship, love, romance, death, relationships, pets, and life. Most have a bit of a twist at the end-thanks to years of admiring Alfred Hitchcock and Rod Serling, and then because I'm a comic, I have to make you laugh or at least smile, and because I'm philosophical, I have to make you think.

CHAPTER 1

    And Then There Was One

    She was born into a large family
    Eight or nine siblings and cousins galore
    She chose though to leave her boring hometown
    Headed up to the big city, determined not to be poor

    She was a pretty gal, and stylish too
    But had a nasty attitude and was oh so shrewd
    She loved her liquor and loved a good time
    But when she had too much she could fight like a dude

    She had the mouth of a long shore man
    And could drink, curse and party like a man
    And after a short while with her
    You've had about all you could stand

    She'd wind up insulting and out drinking
    Whomever she was with
    Maybe a fight would ensue with her getting loud
    Next thing, she'd be caught in a rift

    Children didn't concern her
    The one she had she left back home with a sis
    Family members concerned her little
    Birthdays and family events she could easily miss

    Whatever the event, she was always an embarrassment
    When she showed up dressed to kill
    With corn liquor in her purse--out would come the bottle
    And she was just as at home as she'd be at a still

    At age ninety-five, she's really quite healthy
    Surrounded by photos of herself in heels and her fur
    She seems to thrive on the bitterness in her life
    And angry cause she can't get out to buy liquor

    In her mind everyone has betrayed her
    No one calls or comes by
    She chooses not to remember the wrong she has done
    The people she's hurt she insist is a lie

    She drags herself through the house
    Claiming pain doctors can not find
    Moaning and groaning over how people have hurt her
    Not realizing it's all in her mind

    She still clings to life not wanting to die
    Although she's now all alone
    All her drinking buddies have crossed over
    And those who've felt her wrath don't even phone

    She's hurt everyone who's tried to love her
    She manipulated everyone who's come to her door
    No sisters, no children, no neighbors, no friends
    She alone waits to settle her score.

    Dedicated to all who are clueless

    A Simple Life

    She led a pretty simple life
    Never married, no pets, no children
    Her days consisted of just getting to work
    Then home, then work, then home again

    After many years, her body grew weak
    Despite her struggle, she could work no more
    When her boss was told that her health was poor
    He told her good-bye and opened the door

    When it was her time to pass on
    She was ready to go
    And I can't help but admire her
    For she left with little show

    She just went about her business
    And when her business was done
    She just got weaker and slowly slipped away
    Because life was no longer fun

    She spoke till she no longer
    Had breath to speak
    And laid down because
    She had grown too weak

    She kept to herself
    I was her only friend
    And I hope I was enough for her
    When it came to the end


    Attraction

    What is that magic that causes one's attraction to another--
    A sexual attraction as one would have for a lover?
    Wonder why someone is with another who is not a likely match?
    Or question why one would ever consider the other as a catch?

    Ever question yourself, once the bloom has fallen off the rose
    And an end has come to what seems like just a fascination?
    What has caused you to want to mate or simply spend time with
    Someone who has caused you such mental devastation?

    What is the mad attraction—something you can't quite put a
        finger on-A
    reason, despite great thought, you can't give an answer to?
    All you know is that you've got to have more—can't get enough
    You're out of control—obsessed, and don't even know with who

    Science will say it can be something as simple as a person's scent
    Especially, although egregious, the magic of their sweat
    Then there's the tone of one's voice, that lulls you into a certain
        mind set
    That voice that may wind up yelling at you, causing you to get
        upset

    There is also a spiritual belief that...
