The Story of Lola And Daisy
Written by Randy Wilson
I will tell you
A funny story
In the form of
Allegory
Once you hear it
Please remember
It was something
You heard Randy
Share
And
Render
Only I could
Tell this story
There was a rock
In a quarry
It was little
But not worthless
And it dreamed
A dream to
One day
Join the Circus
It was under
Poison ivy
It was pure green
But kind of tiny
And it's value
It was hidden
And to take it
Absolutely
Was forbidden
Many saw it
The green emerald
In the quarry
Was in peril
In a carton
It was hidden
Until one day
She moved in
And had
A kitten
Name was Lola
Kitten daisy
And like most cats
Kind of lazy
When they saw the
Tiny emerald
They decided
Then and there
They would
Assemble
They worked hard
Alone together
They toiled
Despite
The awful weather
They had a plan
To make that emerald
Shine
Night after night
They worked together
Day after day
They worked with leather
They worked so long
But finally all
Their work was done!
A new collar
For her kitten
Daisy looked great
Mom was smitten
They were special
Cat and kitten
Soon the two were
Off to start to make
A living
Joined a circus
It was special
Cat and kitten
With an emerald
So the moral
Of this story
Is rocks dream too
Think and want
And all need
Glory
The Old Man In The Tree
Written by
Randall Crossette
June 2, 1985
I once met a man who
Lived high in a tree
Down on the south
Coast of old Sicily
The people would stop
And look up
And they'd say
"Why do you live in
This strange way?"
A tree is no place
For a man
They would say
The city's much nicer
Please don't
Go this way
It hurts us to see
How you suffer
They'd say
Please turn back
You've gone the wrong way!
At first it was hard
For the man in the tree
But soon
He was comfortable
As could be
Soon people admired
And envied his style
And traveled
To see him from miles
Tell us old man
From high up in the tree
Your secret for somehow
We just cannot see
We've hunted for silver
And searched for the gold
But life's grown no richer
Just cold
Riches like silver
And gold have I none
But I have the moon
And the stars
And the sun
The sky is my blanket
When daytime is done
The wind cools
The scorch of the sun
Year after year you
Stay up in the tree
The wind
And the rain
You take so comfortably
Your life seems
So simple
And yet it's so grand
Please help us
We don't understand
The old man looked down
From his perch in the sky
He could see clearly
'cause he was so high
Perspective he said
Is the name of the game
I'm special
'Cause I'm not the same
Surely there's more
To your secret than that
After all
We could have been
Where you're at
Your answer's
Too simple
For us to accept
You and your theories
We reject
He turned with a smile
Laughed and said
With a glee
Then you go live your life
And I'll live like me
And judge for yourself
Who the happier be
You or the old man
In the tree
In the Beginning
It all started when Randy was about 8 years old and he went down the street to play with his friend Ricky Sleem in the big house on the corner. Ricky was an only child and he was Rich in Randy's eyes. He had a big yard, and a playhouse in the back yard and lots and lots of toys and one day when Randy went to play at Ricky's house something new was there. Ricky's parents had bought an old upright piano and had put it out in the garage so they didn't have to listen to Ricky play. When Randy got there that day here was Ricky Sleem sitting in the garage playing the boogie woogie on the piano.
Randy was impressed with all the excitement of seeing the other kids gathered around and all watching Ricky Sleem play piano. Ricky Sleem was …. Well he was fat. Most of the kids didn't really like Ricky all that much but he did have the biggest yard in the neighborhood and he had lots of toys and things like the big play house that none of the rest of the kids had, so even though Ricky Sleem was fat and wore big thick glasses and was a Catholic the kids would go to his house to play anyhow because after all… he was the Rich kid and all the kids enjoyed all the things that Ricky always had.
Well this day, the day the piano had been placed in the garage and the day that all the kids learned that Ricky could play the piano; well this day was pretty special. Randy remembered one thing in particular and that was that Ricky for the first time was surrounded by all the girls who wanted to watch him play the piano. The girls didn't usually go to Ricky's house but today was different. There were lots of girls and they all were acting like Ricky Sleem was Ricky Nelson or something! Randy would never admit it, but he was jealous when he saw all the attention that Ricky Sleem was getting from the girls. Randy was a handsome boy and all the girls usually paid him a lot of attention but not today! Today was Ricky Sleem's day to shine. The more Randy watched the more Randy got jealous.
