Ebb's Short Verse

Back to Mother Bird's Index

What Did She Say?
by Ebb

What did she say that she doesn't remember saying - that she wanted me to forget?
How can I remember what she does not recall - the results causing such a threat?
If she doesn't remember saying what she perhaps said - and I don't recall her not saying it,
Then if I reveal what she wanted me to forget - whatever I recall might not be legit.

Go Out With a Smile
by Ebb
Go out straining - I always say.
It'll make you feel better - at the end of the day.
Your heart will likely keep ticking - at least for a while,
And when it quits - you can go out with a proud smile.

Suck It Up and Strain
by Ebb
If one's afraid to strain - when things don't go right,
Life would be miserable - all day and all night.
So don't be afraid - to lay your ass on the line,
Just suck it up and strain - everything will be just fine.

DNA Genealogy
by Ebb - once removed.

DNA genealogy can be useful - as well as being tricky high tech stuff.
It may reveal who your removed kin are - and that could be real tough,
Because if the kin you are removed from - are folks you don't want to see,
You may want to conceal the DNA results - more contented you might be.
But don't be afraid to get your DNA checked - to find out who you are.
Your removed kin might be very rich - a thought that makes relationships go far!

BS'ers Like Me
Some BS - from Ed. G.
Expressed to Jim H. - at a BS Session

"I am an occasional BS'er." About BS that's what Ed G. does say.
"But listening to BS from experts - is my preferred way to pass a day".
"Messing up other's heads with BS - is my favorite thing to do."
"Just see what I've done to Bill M's mind - BS through and through!"

"I think I deserve a BS'er Award - I've BS'ted real hard you know."
"With a poem about my BS'ing exploits - to make sure the art of BS'ing will grow."
"The BS'ing award could be given annually - to the best BS'er to be found."
"I would likely win the coveted award each time - not many BS'ers like me around."

Watch Out for What You Eat
by Ebb
Better watch out for what you eat - might have something bad in it,
And read about the ingredients it contains - some may give you an awful fit.
When you don't know, or understand - whether the food is good or bad,
Wash it down with plenty of Cutty Sark - guaranteed to keep you from feeling sad.

The Chemistry
by Ebb

"If the chemistry is right - what could be wrong?
Sounds like the title to a reality song,
Sung by those who know what "right chemistry" can do
When influenced by a cherished friend - just like you.

The Winter Flower
by Ebb

I'm strolling through the woods - thinking of you.
I miss you so much - I don't know what to do.
When I find a winter flower - I'll pick it for sure,
And bring it home to you - so our love will endure.

If there's no winter flower - then a poem I'll write.
It's not as good as a winter flower - but might prevent a fight.
Be it winter flower or poem - thinking of you gives me a thrill.
In any case you can rest assured - my love for you is real.

The Myth No One Can Recall
by James Ebb Huggins, Jr.

Lightning From The Sky
by Ebb

"Gig um' Aggies - Go Army!" is what Bill likes to say,
Knowing that the Air Force - does things a better way.
Now we have a "Fly Navy" guy - to stir up the pot
Not knowing what the Navy does - guess he forgot
That Navy "sails" and Army "rolls" while Air Force "flies" cover on high,
Protecting both of their rear ends - with lightning from the sky.

The Angel of Discouragement
by Ebb
Dedicated to Bob Paddock - my good friend!

If it ain't fun don't play it. If it ain't fun don't try
To make it no fun for others, who conscientiously apply
Accepted rules of order - sportsmanship and consideration too,
When playing the sport of Orienteering - feeling good when they are through.

When there is heartburn about an issue - when something ticks you off real bad,
Try hard to settle it quietly - before others detect it and become sad.
Most do Orienteering for the fun of it. They don't have to do it at all.
So encourage them with positive actions - or the Angel of Discouragement will call.
Back to the Top

Thanks for caring and thanks for sharing - the many things you do.
May your efforts not go unnoticed - lots of success when you're through.
Don't stop caring and don't stop sharing - it makes the world a better place,
For there are little ones out there everywhere - who need a little time and space
To figure out what they are gonna do - which way they're gonna go,
And need a little encouragement - to allow their potential to grow.
They need someone to care a bit - to share life's joys by grace
And a little caring and sharing - may brighten up a face.

Hot and Still
by Ebb

Hot and still ain't too bad - if that's all you got,
Even though it's better to be - in an air conditioned spot.
But if cool air you don't have - then settle for hot and still.
Blessed with air provided by God - anticipating winter's chill.

Lost at Z
by Ebb

Simple example? - I got lost at Z.
Needs to be easier for some out there - and for me.
Hope you had a nice time - at Arbor Hills today.
Stumbling through the bowels of Eddie Jone's Forest - sure ain't the way.

"Some things are probably not worth anything." Some things worth a lot.
Always look for "anything's" that are good - and "anything's" that might be forgot.
Always make "anything's" worth something - and not not worthy of knowing.
If we follow this simple rule - enthusiasm will keep on showing.

You must love you Mom. She brought you here,
And if you don't - you have much to fear,
Because if you don't like the Mom you should love,
You may have problems with the good Lord above.

"Life is what you makes of it." That's the way things are.
Being positive when trouble comes - allows you to go far
Toward being all you can be - doing all you can do
To enjoy a life filled with joy - until your days are through.

Tough Love
by Ebb

I enjoy messing with the stuff. It gives me something to do.
And with a warm pad to my back - I feel better when I'm through.
It makes me feel good to help others - although some criticism they must bear.
For I still like being a teacher - lots of tough love to share.

A Fragrance I've Not Forgot
by Ebb

Time to cover plants on my unpainted country style back porch - supposed to be 29° tonight.
I'll get around to painting it some day - whenever the time is right.
Until then I'm content to sit and observe - the birds, the squirrels and the lot.
Carefully watching for the skunks living close by - with a fragrance I've not forgot.
