VERSATILITY IS THE BEST KINDA' STREET - A POEM BY A.H. SCOTT

 

Versatility Is The Best Kinda’ Street

Lola didn’t like Cola

It gave her the burps something bad

Jimmy was the Cola guy and when he found out about Lola it made him sad

Lola’s fave was coffee and Jimmy wondered why

She would always smile and say something sly, “Coffee is like my type of guy – strong, bold and versatile, too”

Jimmy didn’t know what to do

He quit his job at the soda company and joined the Starbuck’s crew

Lola liked Jimmy just the way he was

But, since he now was a coffee man, he knew how to give her a buzz

“Gals that are his type were soft, sweet and with dancing feet”, Jimmy said

Lola replied, “How bout’ toasty toes in your bed?”

Cola couldn’t hold a candle to that certain kind of lovin’ ramble

Percolatin’ was the only way, Jimmy and Lola found out one day

Cuddling in a booth at the café, as they shared their first kiss they didn’t know what to say

Lola and Jimmy’s hearts were aflutter with the scent of coffee brewin’ in his kitchen the morning after

Nice to know a choice of a drink can bring a smile to your flow

Lola knew best, for it was coffee that had the ability to shake things up

Either on a Summer day with cubes of ice in a glass

Or, in the chill of Winter when the heat is something you want to last

Cola is a one-way street

Coffee is a versatile treat

"On The Shoulders Of The Ancestors" - Art Inspired By the Poetry of A.H. Scott

 

ON THE SHOULDERS 

OF 

THE ANCESTORS COLLECTION 

Art inspired by a poem by A.H. Scott. –

“On The Shoulders of The Ancestors” – On the shoulders of the ancestors we climb to a higher plateau. With every step forward our perseverance grows. Not easy by any means. We cry, we sigh, we quake, we dream. On the shoulders of the ancestors, past, present and possibility align in Kismet’s aria. We howl at the top of our lungs, as our fingers reach outward to the Celestial kissed sky of blissful hues or orange and yellow and brushes of rainbows, too. We can never really know the path of hard times lived you truly had to go. If only we would have listened to tales spoken through years you were here with us. Parchment dotted with ink can tell only half-tales. Hefty tomes of history are outweighed by actions of sweat and blood from those that came before us. Coal mines, railroad tracks, belches of the revolution of industry puffs from smokestacks. You stood, you marched, you handed us the torch. We can only look back now and come to some sort of crumb of comprehension over what you sacrificed and toiled for to make our world a bit brighter for generations down the line. On The Shoulders of the Ancestors is the honored place to be. I perch myself on the shoulders of the ancestors, for now because of them we all are free. Words of nine I speak to the heavens with gratitude and grace - If not for you there would be no me!!!
