Invisible Sound
Black smoke bellowed out from the top
Smoke stacks blowing out chemical sop
Around the clock it’s the machine’s operators
Work up on seventy foot high steel elevators
Security guards keep out the insane
While the night crews work all the grain
Public address systems calls for names
On the edge of town children play games
Dogs cough and birds fall from the sky
While the elderly women say, “Oh my !”
Grocery stores sell bags of plastic gloves
The ugly pigeons were once pretty doves
Marblehead
Upon the peninsula of Lake Erie
The waves beat against the shore
And up along the water’s edge
A noisy giant seagull soars
A lighthouse in the distance
Flashes a bright light
Among the rocks the lighthouse sits
To protect ships that sail at night
Viewing Cedar Point from there
You can see the roller coasters
Marblehead is the name
Of the lighthouse that is on the poster
Deer Creek Overlook
Sitting on top of Deer Creek Dam
The best this side of Birmingham
Down below people are fishing
Others are watching and wishing
A child plays on the jungle gym
We are many feet over top of him
Vehicles below look like Matchbox cars
We watch visitors drink from Mason jars
People are climbing up the other side
It is like a State Park nature ride
Now they are rolling down the hill
However, just walking down is a thrill
There’s a water skier on the lake
Deer Creek Dam took years to make
It’s really peaceful on the grassy wall
If the hill was steeper, we’d have to crawl
A Birthday Picnic
Sunday afternoon out by the lake
Sitting here eating a birthday cake
Quacking ducks make a lot of noise
Flying through the air with great poise
Hamburgers are now sizzling
Soon the embers will be fizzling
Sun shining here at Rocky Fork
We’re eating beef instead of pork
Our picnic table is at a no wake zone
Hold on while I answer the phone
Behold the area of skunk and muskrat
Across the road is a black cat
Down by the gorge are green frogs
Taking turns jumping over the logs
Song birds singing about raccoons
Overhead floats a purple balloon
We relax and snack on peanuts
His pole fell in the lake, what a klutz !
E.L. Fudge cookies on a full stomach
I ate too much; I think I’m gonna be sick !
Finagle at an Angle
The picnic tables are out of line
But the ones by the grill are fine
A woman parks her car strange
She walked by us humming ”Home on the Range”
The grill wasn’t placed in straight
We’ll use it anyway, it’s getting late
Oh what a sight for tired eyes
No more policies telling us lies
A family of four walked thru the leaves
While blowing is a nice breeze
A half moon shines from above
Kids are on swings shouting, “Give me a shove !”
Brats are cooking and ready to eat
Little Debbie Snacks are always a treat
It’s getting dark, but the sky is clear
This is our last cookout this year
The Racing Butterfly Of The Sea (Part 1)
In the year nineteen ninety-two
While listening to music of Adrian Belew
A scientist named Alfred Fultzenmier
Started an experiment with his assistant Mr. Pryor
They wanted a special breed of insect
One that is pure and didn’t infect
An unusual butterfly with speed
An open space is all it would need
One larger with a longer life span
Longer than any known to man
The achievement came one afternoon
They stopped and stared at the cocoon
While emerging form the chrysalis
When it broke through was anyone’s guess
A bright shiny pupa twice its size
Stretching its wings towards the skies
Came forth a multi-colored butterfly
Soaring through the sky so high
Colors of red, orange and green
The most beautiful butterfly you’ve ever seen !
Destination : The Roaring Twenties (Part 1)
We returned to the motel room
Turned on the TV and cranked up the volume
Something happened within a half an hour
We found ourselves in a field of wildflowers
Imagine seeing a new antique car
The sight of it was quite bizarre
Just before the stock market crashed
People were spending their hard earned cash
Cabin 13
For two nights in October
We could have picked April or September
We kept warm over a fire ring
Remembering camps where we used to sing
Cooking pizzas and cherry pies
The s’mores were a nice surprise!
Until we had a fearful visitor
A skunk was blocking the path to the stairs
By nine-thirty we were inside
Our evening cut short , so upset we could cry
Having a cup of coffee on the couch
We saw a commercial with Oscar the Grouch
Tomorrow we will repeat the day
But we hope the skunk stays away!
Guess what? He came back earlier than before
Krissy made a beeline for the door
Hold on to Thursday
Borrow a few ice cube trays
Munch on chips by Frito Lay
Then go bowling the following day
Find a few arcade games to play
Perhaps an iced capp supreme later
And watch a video of Terry Fater
It’s just another trip to Seneca
In the heart of North America
Chorus : Hold on to Thursday
For it won’t last
It will end anyway
Time will go by awfully fast
Get a good night’s sleep tonight
Tomorrow it’s the crowds we’ll fight
Spring is bursting with sunshine
And everyone is feeling fine
It’s only a breath of spring
But enough to make you wanna sing
Furthermore. .we like the attraction
And looking at everyone else’s reaction
Take a stroll through town
A dress shop window displays wedding gowns
We enjoy the environment up north
As they celebrate Easter on April fourth
Repeat chorus :
Between Three Points
Settled between a tower and a point
A place where we can rest our joints
In a lodge up near Sandusky’s lake
Hopefully this will be a good break
Now waiting for the sun to set
The blended colors will be pretty I bet
Adventures across Bay View
The water was a nice shade of blue
One sixty-three aims to Marblehead
Perry Street is where we found our bed
Fifty-three travels to Freemont
You can see a movie there if you want
Until then I guess it is lakeside
Where you can see the Cedar Point rides
Know the city better in the month of June
When some couples take a honeymoon
Patriot Hill
Roaming the large hills to Knoxville
Traveling down the road to Sevierville
To a place where everyone comes together
No matter what the type of weather
There’s a cabin up in the woods
We took advantage of everything we could
Where one can relax and have some fun
Under the stars or in the sun
Cook out on the grill and play some pool
The food smells so good you could drool
Sleep in late if you could on Sunday
According to the song, it’s our fun day
The Jacuzzi or hot tub awaits you
Big enough for just one or two
Easing away all of those sore muscles
While listening to the fallen leaves rustle
Time moves fast while you’re in Pigeon Forge
With many great restaurants it’s easy to gorge
Cross over the Great Smokey Mountains
See water from rocks flowing like fountains
