I Knew You

 

I Knew You

(Dedicated to my mom)

Many thought you stoic

Some thought you strict

You were an enigma

I never figured how you ticked

But you played a mean air hockey

You played oldies, acted the ham

When it came to jokes, you always made me laugh

You were fun and frivolous

We were always carefree

You were always a first-rate sleuth

Solving any mystery

I saw your secret side

Even if you admitted you hated to cry

You wanted to appear in control and strong

You assured me it was you I could lean on

I miss you as much as I did in 2008

I know I’ll see you in Heaven again

Even though I’ll have to wait

So, I smile and think of you

And your goofiness through and through

Because I know the fun we’ll be spending

Watching you golf with that fox Peter Jennings

But ‘til then, your memory resides

And within my heart, you’ll always abide.

It is up to the good Robotnik, as well as the hedgehogs' (formerly evil counterparts) to help save Sonic. The royal firstborn blue hedgehog also figures out King Jules' and Queen Aleena's location at long last!   Dedicated to the true voice of Sonic, Jaleel White.

Wedding at the Playhouse

Synopsis: Continuing from "Pajama Party at the House of Mouse", Herman Norman "Pee-Wee Herman" Ruebens and his beloved, Yvonne Chambers, are finally getting married. “ L is for the way you look at me, O is for the only one I see, V is very, very, extraordinary. You’re the one that I adore, no one could ever want you more.’--Lyrics from L-O-V-E as sung by the often imitated but never duplicated Nat King Cole “A life without love isn’t worth living. What’s life without love ? It’s a tree that bears no fruit. It’s sleeping without dreaming. At times, it’s the inability to sleep. It’s living one day after another waiting for the sun to shine into a room that’s completely painted black, where you know the key is but have no desire top open the door and go out.”--Karla, Hippie, Paulo Cohelo Chapter 1—The Most Romantic Wedding of All It was Yvonne Chambers, soon to be Ruebens, favorite day of the year. Ever since she had

Birds singing in the sycamore trees, dream a little dream of me. Say nighty-night and kiss me, just hold me tight and tell me you’ll miss me. When I’m alone and blue as can be, dream a little dream of me.’--Dream A Little Dream of Me as sung by the Mamas and the Papas Chapter 1—A Much Needed Respite Although the Rangers had savored their vacation in France, coming home had left them quite a bit laggy. They were still suffering from the time difference and adjusting to normal bed times back at home. Besides, it was good to be back in HQ and in familiar territory. It w
