Robin Redbreast

Robin Redbreast

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Sadly, winter is here

With the cold and snow

But you know it isn’t going to last

The time is coming and not too far off

There are so many robins just waiting

And they know you are getting desperate

Soon they will all come to you

Winter will disappear and spring will come

All because a robin stops by to say hi

Goodbye Charlie

Goodbye Charlie

by Lord R.e. Taylor

When we grew up Charlie Brown was the man

But we never knew when Charlie, Lucy and Snoopy died

They just disappeared without a trace

Sadly, kids today will never know ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’

Their childhood will be damaged if not destroyed

All from the loss of a great American Christmas tradition

That Faraway Beach

That Faraway Beach

by Lord R.e. Taylor

That island you look at

Watching the people on the beach

Laughing and playing

Drinking some kind of drink

A just laying on the beach

Trying to be darker than they were before

No one has a single thought in their head

Real life does not exist for them

Still, would you want to do it

Leave everything behind and be someone new

You bet you would but life is real

Your job is real and your kids are real

So, you keep watching that island

And keep hoping to end up there someday

Until then, just sit under your sunlamp

Drink that flat beer from last night

And lastly, put on Baywatch

A Past I Never Had

A Past I Never Had

by Lord R.e. Taylor

I guess it wasn’t my choice

But I was born way too late

I never had the chance to live my dream

Watching an old Black and white movie

While sitting in a movie palace with 2,000 others

All enjoying the best acting and stories

Directed by the best directors ever

Yes I can watch them on my 60-inch screen

But it will never be the same

The atmosphere just is not there any more

I guess things do change of time

Is it my fault that I miss the past

A past I never saw and never will
