THESE ARE POEMS THAT I WROTE FOR SOME FRIENDS. SOME OF THEM MANY,MANY YEARS AGO.
SOME WERE FOR FUN,SOME FOR SERIOUS,
BUT ALL WITH LOVE.
VICKY
VICKY TORNOWSKI IS HER NAME,
SHE'S NOT VERY WILD,BUT NOT VERY TAME.
SHE HAS MANY FRIEND WHO LIKE HER WELL,
HOW MANY ARE BOYS, SHE'LL NEVER TELL.
SHE MAKES THEM WHISTLE,SHE MAKES THEM SIGH,
WITH A LITTLE SMILE SHE CAN HAVE ANY GUY.
SHE HAS CHARM AND SHE HAS POISE,
AND SHE KNOWS HOW TO USE THEM ON ALL THE BOYS.
WITH A WINK OF HER EYE AND A FLIP OF HER HAIR,
SHE CAN ASK THEM TO TAKE HER ANYWHERE.
FIRST IT WAS JERRY WHO LEAD HER ASTRAY,
THEN THERE WAS HOWARD WHO CAME HER WAY.
AT FIRST SHE ADORED HIM,NOW IT'S TOO LATE,
NOW SHE'S FORGOTTEN HIM AND CLEANED THE SLATE.
SHE'LL START ALL OVER WITH SOMEONE NEW,
BUT SHE WON'T FORGET THE OTHER TWO.

SANDY,SANDY,UP IN THE SKY,
TELL US WHO'S YOUR FAVORITE GUY.

WHO YOU PICKED FROM ALL THE REST.

OR WAS IT JUST ANOTHER GUY?

HE MUST REALLY BE A WHIZ.
IF HE WINS YOU FROM ALL THE REST,
THEM WE'LL KNOW, HE MUST BE THE BEST !

PEGGY
PEGGY IS HER NAME,SHE'S SHORT AND DARK,
A REAL CUTE GIRL,WHO SINGS LIKE A LARK.
A HILLBILLY LARK ,THAT IS , YOU SEE,
SHE COMES FROM THE SOUTH, DOWN IN MISSOURI.
SHE HAS A BROTHER,JIM IS HIS NAME,
AND OF COURSE,HE COMES FROM THE VERY SAME.
THEY'RE BOTH GOOD KIDS, AND A LOT OF FUN,
BUT THEY NEVER STAY,THEY GO AND THEY COME.
BUT PEGGY IS THE ONE THAT I KNOW BEST,
SHE STANDS OUT AMONG THE REST.
IF YOU SEE HER, YOU'LL KNOW WHO SHE IS,
IF YOU HEAR HER,YOU'LL THINK SHE'S A WHIZ.

DIANE
DIANE ZELLER IS QUIT A GIRL,
SHE CATCHES A BOY AND SETS HIM AWHIRL.
HE'LL GIVE HER A RING AND THEN HIS NAME,
AND THEN HE'LL NEVER BE THE SAME.
THEY'LL HAVE THREE KIDS, DEAN, DARRELL AND DAVE,
AND IT'S FOR A GIRL,THEY NOW DO CRAVE.
THEY LIVE IN A HOUSE, THREE STORIES HIGH,
AND WHEN I THINK OF IT, I HAVE TO SIGH.
I KNOW SHE DESERVES BETTER, BUT WHAT CAN I DO,
SHE'S FOUND A GUY THAT SHE LOVES TRUE.
I KNOW SHES HAPPY AND WOULD MAKE NOT TRADES,
NOT FOR A MINK OR A HOUSE FULL OF MAIDS.
THESE THINGS DON'T MEAN A THING TO HER,
NOT THE MAIDS OR THE COAT OF FUR.
SHE'S FOUND HER PLACE AND THERE SHE'LL STAY,
FOR A THOUSAND YEARS AND ANOTHER DAY.

Monette
Dark eye, dark haired, little angel,
God made you such a beautiful child.
Full of love and wondering dreams,
And a calmness, serenely mild.
You dream so big of days to come,
When all the world will be yours.
To travel its length, from shore to shore,
Over countles hills and moor.
To wonderous places, very far,
To lands across the waters blue.
To gain some ancient knowledge,
Of a homeland, yet unknown to you.
You dream of helping, loving,
Of caring for people in your life.
There you'll find this little child,
Seeing them thru sorrow and strife.
But these are big dreams, yet to come,
They live only in your heart and soul.
You must make them in your life,
A dream come true, must be your goal.
So dream your dreams, oh, little angel,
For as you become a part of the ages,
Your every ddream will come to you,
Tis written on these pages.
Copywright circa 1960's
Mary Runyon Hanshew
Written for the daughter of Don and Minda Tornowski
when she was a very young age and full of dreams.
