A Bus Enthusiast who piles his buses high
This has nothing to do with I
The Fishbowl King
He is just doing his thing
Buses he loves
Every bus almost to think of
Name a bus, the Fishbowl King has
He is into Music but beyond Jazz
The Fishbowl King has over 9,000 buses in his collection
Now that is something to mention
The Fishbowl King is a man on the move
It’s has buses being his mission he wants to prove
The Fishbowl King is committed to what he has established in buses
Don’t try to change otherwise
You might be in for a surprise
You may find yourself in wanting to apologize
But that I must emphasize
Yet the Fishbowl King reigns supreme
It’s those Fishbowl buses in what I mean.
The but being the only
It comes with who
Life has its pitfalls
Tears like waterfalls
Struggles one bears alone
Searching for answers
Mind wonders
Years encountered
Footsteps after footsteps
Journeys here and there
Leverage having a take hold
Boldness in courage
Spiritual embrace
Many tomorrow’s
Times of sorrow
Chosen to be
All understanding of me
But God

My Grandmother would often sing “By and By”
The words involved would have understand
As a youngster, I began wonder
But when I became an adult, I had wisdom of yonder
Salvation never understood at first
But once Christ became a part of me, the By and By was my own scripture of “Cry through the try”
I have no questions
My statements are my indications
No mystery of By and By
It is an automatic element in giving Christ a try
Many non-believers have many questions of why
But I have a testimony and Christ is the creation of I
It took years to understand my Grandmother’s phrase of By and By
Yet it continues to be the wisdom with assurance and Christ being the influence
My Grandmother had the right idea
The By and By in helping us all too preserver
It’s a matter of taking the fear out and replacing with praise in shout
My Grandmother is in Heaven in her By and By
But her words are saying, “I sit high with thy”
Understanding comes with salvation learning
But when it comes to praise, you must have an urning
Cry through your try, while you are on your praying knees, lift your head up as Christ wants you to step up and your footsteps in where Christ has taken you, and where you will Continue to go forth
By and By, a life of where I am at, and my life full of promise of where I can reflect on that. My faith to believe and how my soul is truly relieved. By and By, My Grandmother and I encouraging all to think on thy.

My Grandmother would often tell me the story of “BY and BY”
I often wondered as a youngster to what she was talking about
As an Adult I know what my Grandmother was stating
It was “Understanding” and later “Wisdom”
As a youngster, you don’t think on those things
A kid just wonders that is just Grandma talking her talk
But believing or not, it’s a theory that is proven and set
You can’t put a price tag, but it becomes valuable information for life
Through the struggles with inner strength to bare
The key is wisdom that will help and handle with care
Overcome fear as God is always near
BY and BY being a learning response
The future in being the time that BY and BY will take affect
Also the notion that Grandma was right with BY and BY
She knew life with tears in cry while learning to be wise
It takes effort, and all one has to do is try
BY and BY
Through the storm of life, we will understand after while.

My Grandmother would often sing, “By and By and we will understand after while”
But that was always my Grandmother’s Faith style
Yet my Grandmother would sing that very song in Church, but she herself knew the words and the church did utter a voice when my Grandmother sang that song
By and By
Live being every try
Struggles that sometimes will make you cry
But your eyes up and look high
The answer comes from thy
It’s the growing understanding phase
Through the understanding, you will witness the amaze
Heaven is testing one’s Faith
Having courage to believe
The valley below
Living is about and the accomplishments will be slow
Wisdom in years as one will continue to grow
Understanding with looking for a purpose
Reasoning with analyzing
When one looks back at their youth, understanding becomes the learning process
Living and growing with no time for recess
But I would often ask my Grandmother what did the By and By mean?
She simply sang in explanation, “By and By, you will  understand after while”
If you want to understand, “By and By in continue to learn as you live”
By and By is worth striving
Understanding is worth having
Wisdom that becomes everlasting.

My Grandmother often sang in church,  “By and By we will understand
You won’t understand now
But after while you will
A question of when
Continue to grow at the end
When one is young growing, one really doesn’t understand
Yet one must be able to sustain
Comprehend that will remain
It’s God’s intervention
A person’s beginning being God’s creation
By and By from Tot to Adult
Inner Faith that will take hold
Your praise will be a shout of behold
Your understanding will be straight out
The impact of understanding in what Biblical will have you talking about
But once the understanding becomes clear
It will be Christ that will be always near
By and By will you understand?
Christ Jesus being the Heavenly Holy man
Your Hallellujah will be spread throughout the land
By and By getting closer to thee
Understanding from when
By and By having understanding at the end.

It was that refreshing drink
It was my time to think
That moment alive
I stand and abide
Being a Slave seeing the moving waves illustrate my past life
It was regardless of being a Slave, I have family that create the unity
It was those heritage roots forming a community
Togetherness being hand in hand
Singing spiritual blessings until
I remember praying morning, noon and night that Slavery would once be abolished
My cries in desperation in needing a resolution
I moan for family gone and seek out my families alive
Yet those waters offered a cleansing
Revitalizing and connecting to Heaven itself in commitment
Oh the spiritual rejoice in fellowship with my family ancestors
Waters cooling off while I was hot
Heaven took hold
My testimony, “Have pity on my Soul”
I remained a Slave no more
Uncertainty became possibilities to explore
My new life was reunited with family once more
The waters showed in the vision, and reason to not ignore
Opportunity had truly risen
Advancement was a given chance
So family instilled that unity
The waters were the added purity
The chain was strong in the family bond
Yet I thought to always look upon
It wasn’t a dream, and it wasn’t a yond
It was the flowing waters showing reality in what families should be
It all surrounded me
Flowing waters were the absolute ingredients in family threshold
It’s more than a drip at a time, but a thirst for all family time.

Let’s just say in this story California is further than you think
As the story blossoms so does expectations
John and his family are planning a trip to California
He doesn’t want to buy a expensive car
Just something that will make it cross country being mileage far
A suggestion was a 1936 Red Ford Convertible
Now 1936?
It sounds more like my mother the car TV series
However the car had bullet holes
Sounds like a gangster’s car
You are probably thinking a Bonnie and Clyde getaway vehicle
Perhaps A Al Capone’s motor czar
Martha his wife said, I remember a slogan of “Take the bus and avoid the fuss”
But at this point, it is a must
Now all the things that need to be packed
Yet everything is carefully stacked
But the problem is, where will the family sit?
Nothing seems to fit
In fact, the car looks more like the Beverly Hillbillies
Hound bus you are for us
So California here we come, and the Ford being none
The Ford that went back
Also the same Ford the family had to unpack
It was the Hound bus dog who won
Ready for California to have some fun
As for the story, we are done.

A slim smooth man
Every step being his command
His fashion statement being high in demand
But his distinction being pinstripe
Pinstripe always dressed fresh like a spring ripe
Assortments had to be just right being black and white or white and red pinstripes
Pinstripe had all the hype
He got his name from dancing at many clubs
A woman’s remembrance to think of
The minute Pinstripe entered any room it was always greetings of what’s up
His shoes were of quality brand
Every inch of Pinstripe and everyone knew he was the man
Pinstripe’s hair was combed with his hair being shown
The tie became a creation and conversation piece of don’t hate just appreciate
Every woman married or single wanted to dance with Pinstripe
Each moving dance step was a woman’s date being met
Pinstripe had that certain swagger
From that first sip of wine
A cigarette just before he would dine
Pinstripe knew how to pass the time
He was the dress code, but never ate alone
It was his personality in having the woman melt like butter
Pinstripe was definitely like no other
He was the mainstream being a name
He was persuasive and had game
But who was going to blame?
Getting attention was the precision at direct aim
The bull’s eye being any woman that had a fishing rod and a net, however, it was Pinstripe being the catch of the day, and being the best bet.

Seeking salvation being my determined will

Seek Christ as he will bring you joy
Don’t let the Devil be a decoy and pounce on you in ploy
Also remember God is no toy
A merciful Father who gives us a chance

God may sit high
Yet he has his eyes on you and I

Look up, but do take heave

But tomorrow we will have wisdom and understanding how to be wise

It was a Christmas outdoor Pageant
It was the performance of the Nativity scene
There was a Camel who was mean
The Camel didn’t want to cooperate nor associate
He went berserk and went wanted to attack all the onlookers
Suddenly without delay, the Camel observed the Doll baby Jesus
In the manger
An immediate pause took effect
To everyone’s surprise, the Camel kneeled to the manger
The Camel wouldn’t move and it was as if the baby Jesus informed the Camel to be still and calm
After a while, the Camel responded it was ready and it was like nothing ever happened
The Christmas pageant continued without any further problems

It goes to show, miracles do happen
A camel can become humble
Warm heart can take effect
Holiday treat
Holiday breezes in the air

We will be climbing Old Smokey Mount
Then passing Hook’s Corner overlook

. The puff of smoke from the engine, and the railing sound that the Cannonball has a name that stands tall
. A name mighty among the rails
. The Cannonball Express has history within its own trail
. No matter what, the Cannonball Express always prevailed
. A time when it was dark, the headlights extended the way through the dense fog into a fierce thunderstorm in making its mark
. The Cannonball Express is known for being on time
It is usually before any passenger can finish that sip of wine. 
Nevertheless, the Cannonball Express with a mission in being in charge of the rails
. The speed of the train, but all you will see is the last car streaking by as a tail

Captain Chicken would be afraid of his own shadow
He was just that hallow
It all started with Captain Chicken travelling the seven seas
He would be scare even with the breeze
But he was a Sailor at the time
But Captain Chicken could be a little sublime
It was a violet storm, and the waves were pouring into the ship
The ship began to do up and down dips and the sides in tip
The crew began to panic
Of course Captain Chicken was simply frantic
Oh the Mighty Seas that raw
A chicken Captain in watching the Sea Waves he saw
The so called Captain Chicken could very well had been a tuna dish below
Yet, the crew managed to pull through the ordeal
But was Captain Chicken for real?
However, but what I didn’t tell you was Captain Chicken didn’t know how to swim
How fitting for a ship that sails on water
But what would happen if the ship should certainly sink?
This is where Captain Chicken would have to think
But the closest water to Captain Chicken would be a *** of Boiling Water
But not necessarily in that order
You might be thinking, it sounds more like a plot
But this is reality having a not
Captain Chicken ranking from Sailor to Captain
That means maneuvering the ship through unforgotten waves and obstacles
But it’s water not being Captain Chicken’s refuge
He’s lucky he has two legs to stand on
But again with another question of how long?
But what really comes to mind is at least Captain Chicken’s legs didn’t become a drumstick
No courage would be what would stick
Captain Chicken with a ship name I would call “Chicken of the Sea”
That describes Captain Chicken in every way
In fact, the name Captain Chicken is what will stay
But it all started on this day
No one will ever forget Captain Chicken
But the end result is, no matter what, Captain Chicken will be controlled by the waves and the waves message, “Captain Chicken, you will have to behave”
We control the sea waves.

He was a sea captain who ran a very tight ship
The ship’s name was “Evil Drift”
Captain Hammersaw treated his crew as if they were slaves
Punishment would be harsh if they didn’t behave
Once during a fierce storm, the waves would often overpower the ship and hit the deck, and cause it too dip
When one of his crew made a mistake in following the captain’s orders, Captain Hammersaw would throw a crewmember in the sea to the sharks
Captain Hammersaw would attempt to maneuver the ship and avoid the rocks
He was a shrewd Captain with determined powers
Captain Hammersaw could make one walk the plink with no time to think
Also the same that would feed anyone too the fishes of Davey jones Locker
But most importantly, Captain Hammersaw was a pirate that goes after treasure he wants and gets
But in Captain Hammersaw’s mind, there are no regrets
With the show of the sword, Captain Hammersaw is always determined in not to share
He is a captain you need to proceed in caution in beware
A man of the sea, an image figure who all can see
Into the waves of a ship’s unknown, and the fog that hide with the tails of another tide.

Don’t let the name fool you
But let me school you
Captain Ego wasn’t a courageous man
For starters, he is afraid of water
As far as steering a ship
Captain Ego really needs an encouraging tip
But do it quick before the ship takes a dip
Captain Ego seems to have a chip on his shoulder in thinking he is all that
It goes beyond fact
But what he really needs is a rude awakening being a smack
Even the crew knew what Captain Ego was about
It seemed every commotion always turned into a bout
Captain Ego would order the crew being a command, but sounded more like a demand
If Captain Ego doesn’t get his act together, he could very well be fed to the sharks
Mark my word
Now I hope you heard
Yet Captain Ego’s name being a description that doesn’t seem to match
But put Captain Chicken now that would be a catch
He certainly isn’t truth
However, Captain Ego has been that way since his youth
But the seas seem to be in charge
That means, Captain Ego isn’t large
He doesn’t have any sea legs
For calm seas, Captain Ego always begs
The sea being awake and Captain Ego stuck in a yawn
He doesn’t deserve a ship to be steering upon.

Their words of destination and their own words being prevalent
Silent are the lips, but loud are the words
Inspiration and Accomplishment leading the way

Certified and Qualified
Talent in demand
Presenting one’s personal standards
At interviews, applicants are put too the test
But I often wonder do Interviewers take candidate’s words for less
Now the Interviewer is looking for “Certified and Qualified”
The Resume speaks in advance of what the candidate has accomplished
That’s obvious
Then it is up to the interviewer after reviewing the Resume in scheduling Face to Face meeting
Candidates do have the training and standards
But it seems Interviewer’s state company standards
But if there is a correlation, you already meet the objective
If you didn’t meet and your Resume says you do, why sudden change on the Interviewer’s part
Yet most of the time, Race is a factor on qualifications
It shouldn’t, but often is
However, a company will say they are an Equal Opportunity Employer
That means Equality for all
If Race comes into play, how is that Equal?
One’s Resume states what the candidate has achieved based on ability being merit
Two words that stand out, “Marketable and Commodity”
But why do interviewing questions be asked to one Ethnic Group but not another
One’s Resume will state Qualified in the Interviewer’s eyes
But personal feelings being spite
The Resume is the first Representation, and one on one meeting being the second
But with all one’s training and experience makes an candidate in the interviewer’s theory of overqualified
What makes a candidate Overqualified and Qualified?
If you were to ask the interviewer, there wouldn’t be a precise answer or perhaps no answer at all
Certified and Qualified
But if the salary doesn’t compensate
Obviously, the interviewer doesn’t want to negotiate with a compensate
The qualifications after that doesn’t lead to appreciate
The candidate still has an accomplished Resume
Certified and Qualified.

The Lord is King is for all
Stop the Hate, ******, **** and Cheat
The Almighty doesn’t appreciate
The Lord is about love
Encourage and embrace one another
There shouldn’t be any hate
Communicate and relate
Make a change
Change way of thinking and responding
Turnaround total arrange
Earth is not Heaven
Lord’s words whole true
Look into and pursue
There will be warnings again
Revelation to the Earth’s end
Judgement Day is coming
You are only the pace
The Almighty is the ace
The Lord sees on Earth that someone thinks they are higher than he
Heaven has a King is mightier and powerful who reigns
A man who can make waters be still and Earth move and controls
King of Kings and Lord of Lords
Transform change into making it happen
Don’t wait too late
Do it in the Lord’s namesake
It’s about individual fate
Change your ways

Vanilla and Chocolate are a mix
Then added other ingredients that fit
It’s not guess whose coming to dinner
Instead, it is welcome and enter
Colors are only the many variations
Put them together creates appreciations
Chocolate seems to be a problem
A situation that needs not be
Many hit and don’t want to see
But look at that chocolate, it could very well be me
Vanilla thinks they are the answer
But the answer really is from within with theory of respect
It is not about elect having an effect
The true answer is the right mindset with a fulfilling ingredient of prosperity
It doesn’t matter if you are Strawberry, Cherry, Lemon or Lime
The fact is come together in unity in being kind
That is true genuine
All Races are the ingredients that add the flavor of desire and outcome of wholesome
Goodness comes in all flavors
Take in the creation of savor
Senses can open your mind
Your inner soul can surely act kind
Flavors have no prejudice
It’s a built in force with wrong understanding
It shouldn’t circle around sustaining
Situations are not the battle, but it is the battle within the body extending into thoughts
I learned for 8 weeks “Changing the Narrative, but my version is Changing Your Situation”
Approach with concise thinking
Let knowledge educate through the devoted teaching
Understand you and all about you, and what you stand for
Don’t justify that needs no judgment
Chocolate is no repel
Be the flavor of full representation
The words are only the indication
Respond to situations with a cause and effect that is appropriate
It’s nothing that should be strenuous
It’s not a subject matter that should be curious
So what flavor do you consider yourself?

Sounding like a sketch
One big stretch
Laughter with every move
Always trying to prove
Crash landing in not smooth
Yet laughter all the way
There is always a getaway
Every movement with no pause
Head turn with a left and right
A look of fright
Cornered in a plight
Distinction of pure delight
Every day and night
Words of wonder
Hope that comes yonder
What will be next?
Pie in the face
Laughter with every trace
Given the fence
By defense
Laughter until finally finished
Character’s own in distinguished

Enrich
Embrace
Laugh with Joy
It is ok to cry
Smell the beauty of the flowers
Cherish every given hour
Marvel the skies seeking understanding
Observe the stars at Night
No need to wish just observe
It’s not the stars twinkle, but it is the Night shine
Observe the ocean waves
The waves are suggesting, “Be calm and behave”
It’s a new day and a new moment
A time to live
Appreciation and encouragement to give
Moment by Moment
Hour by hour
Minute by minute
Cherish
See tomorrow
But remember yesterday
Feel the glory
You are the story
Just cherish
You live to see
But give thanks to Thee
Just cherish more

Our love being smooth and creamy to the touch
Love and more Love that echoes much
Caramel, Vanilla or Dark Chocolate, it’s doesn’t matter what flavor
As long as we are together, our Love is the slaver that will never melt
It will be ******* love that will be felt
Eye to Eye in feelings being dealt
Chocolate with all its nuts and cherries
Yet our love being intense varies
****** being no end
But when it comes to our love, we say when
Eating more Chocolate that comes out the box
It’s about Love and off with the socks
We eat more Chocolate to munch
Thank you Babe my love being a bunch
You flavored me
Our intimacy for only us to see
Love that keeps our relationship in tone
There could be tonight a full moon
Love coming at you and could be soon.

The battle between good and Evil
Influenced war from the Devil
Heaven verses Hell
The Devil who corrupts minds
He uses all resources combined
Heaven wants to set the record straight
The Holy One is who is great
The Devil hates
He puts the world in dangerous fate
Heaven wants everyone to have everlasting to enjoy
The joy of goodness
Heaven wants the world to embrace becoming a witness
Evil wants to destroy
People become the decoy
Heaven full of joy
The Devil plays with people’s thinking in acting like his puppet like a toy
The battle continues
Joy verses fire
Hour by hour
Minute by minute
Christian’s armored for war with Evil
It’s about defeating the Devil
It’s a matter of time
The Holy Spirit will always reign supreme
The Devil is always mean
Heaven is always clean
Win or lose
Heaven is a place of satisfaction always enthused
Heaven gives understand and no one can lose
The Devil is confused
He just wants to use
Heaven above who looks below
Heaven has the final say in show.

Direct eye
That is why Christ is thy
You think you can hide
You cannot take Christ for a ride
Christ sees everything that you do
Even things evil before you pursue
Watchful guide through and through
Yet there is nothing neither one of us can do
Heaven’s eyes on precision
Christ doesn’t need permission
Christ sees when you do right and wrong
Christ is the way and will show you where you belong
Christ is the microscope
It’s his exploration in him being the hope
Christ will always watch
Don’t let your own understanding become a botch
Christ is the Almighty and he has the right to watch.

As I open the book
Let us all take a look
Bells ring out throughout the square
The feeling of Christmas is in the air
A little boy sleeps dreaming of snow
This is New York City you just never know
The vision of a star
The Wise men who travelled far
Unity being a community
Christmas being truly in what you see
A little baby Jesus was a male being he
It’s was a rememorable night
In fact it was silent and no situation of plight
All the stars are shining bright
There’s Rudolf with his nose being a headlight
Oh look a dream did come true
The snow is falling
Well I have no time for stalling
Let’s throw snowballs and see who will fall
A Snowman stands and he is tall
Frosty is his name
A snowman loves to play a game
He’s decked out all in Christmas snow
Frosty moves along with the flow
Well I am starting to yond
This was a story I am very fond
I am falling asleep for sure
Yet my heart is full of joy all in galore
As I lay my head down
I am asleep across town
I will wake up Christmas morning bound
Full of praises will be the sound.

Christmas flowing through the air
Children’s hearts wait for Santa to appear
Reindeers ready
Rudolph holding steady
Christmas Trees stand tall and bright
Wiseman followed the North Star during the night
Bethlehem thought of the Nativity of the Little Babe sight
Joy to the world
Children sleeping and dream of Christmas anticipation
It’s Christmas Eve night
Santa’s yearly ride
All the gifts that he will provide
Winter winds
Christmas Day commerce
Friends and Family cheer
Christmas is finally here
The reason for the season
A Holy Birth
Peace and goodwill to all

A table with all the holiday servings
Many mouth watering treats to make you smile
All this eating during while
Gather round but not single file
It the night before Christmas at the North Pole
The story of Santa Claus whose weight really did swole
It was the fact Santa gained too much weight
Thanks to Ms. Claus who made many he ate
Even the sleigh could barely take off
Well some the reindeer even had to cough
But on with our story
The very first house had a chimney, but guess who couldn’t fit through?
Yes you guessed it, good old St. Nick
Did you think a stick or a good kick?
Well St. Nick almost broke the chimney trying to come down
But with all the noise, it was a wonder that any kid was looking around
But being stuck, how was St. Nick going to make his rounds
Better yet, how was he going to be air ward bound?
Now everyone be silent and don’t make a sound
We don’t want to wake up any child
It’s Christmas Eve during while
Well this is what Santa gets for eating more than he can eat
Then to top it off with snacks between being a cheat
Santa made it down the chimney, but it wasn’t easy
It also wasn’t easy in going out by the chimney either
There you have it, a heavyweight story
But it surrounds Santa in all his glory
Well this ends our holiday story.

Snow that falls so nice
Be happy being the advice
The senses of sugar and spice
Candy Canes that hang and dazzle my Christmas tree
Joy to the world that reminds me
Assorted Christmas Candy in my dish
A skies star with me making a wish
Eggnog how fitting for this occasion
Yet non-alcoholic you know
I don’t want to cause an unexpected show
Kid’s hearts are rejoicing
Their voices so enriching
So all through the house
There was no trace of my spouse
Let’s forget any mouse
My spouse went gift shopping being her galore
She is not alone as she is with her friend named Eleanor
So since I have my spouse’s gift
I will hide it and do you catch my drift?
It will be a surprise come Christmas morning
But God’s willing to see another day
Being thankful in every way
So Christmas night being joy in sight
Laughter and carols being bright
With that thought, I will say Good Night

The price of the merchandise just went up
I am frustrated and surely fed up
Long lines just to buy a simple gift
My mind keeps thinking on if
Got my credit card statement to see
All I can say is wow we
What in the world did I charge?
I believe I did payback Marv
Yet my blood pressure just went up
I am thirty I must drink some water in a cup
I must pay off this certain bill
I am determined and will
Merry Christmas cheer just became a woe
However no sense in complaining as I must go with the flow
Christmas is like a show
You just don’t never know
I feel I am having a boxing match with Santa
But the department stores are requesting that I enter
Merry Christmas to all
Just watch your credit card bill’s and the prices that don’t fall
As they only stand tall.
