DING A LING HEAR THE SOUND
~_~
Ding a ling
Ding a ling ding a ling
The poor ole lady
Ranged her bell to all that passed her by
Yet not a one drop in a cent
Not even a dine
Walked pass like did not see
More push right by
Not a word did one say not even a hello
Can they not see
Are did they wanna see
The lady dressed in rages are did they see just that and a homeless ole hag
Just a ways down the street
There was a man
Playin his horn in the saddest way
Makes tears run down your face
People all stop to see
And so hear
Drops dimes and dollars more and more
The streets got full
Just to see
Over to the left
There was a mime doin his thing
People were just so amazed at all the trick that he so did
Few even tried to do did the mime had
Ding a ling
Ding a ling ding a ling
They heard the bell of the ole lady they thought
Turn to see are say
Stunned to see a blind man and his monkey playin an organ the monkey with a cup
They laughed so hard at the monkey tricks
Pitch pennies they did
At the end of the street as the light turns green to go
All hurried to cross yet was stopped
By one holdin a cane
Dressed in white with a bright light shinnin all about as a glow about his face so bright it hurt the eye
Ding a ling
Ding a ling ding a ling
It was the little ole lady walkin by
First to go she so was
The stand byers all in a daze why she go first and we have to wait
You are not worthy you gave all your monies back a ways to the blind man with the monkey
To the mime for all his tricks to the one that played the sad tunes on his horn
Yet you did not see the one
Step back go your way
Your train will be comin very soon

RING THE BELLS
_~_
Hear the runic rhyme
Of the bells
Sweet melody to your ears
A crystalline delight to hear
Tinkle tinkle tinkle
So musically wells jinglin and tinklin of the bells
What a world of harmony they so bring
Hear how they ring out in delight
A rapture that impels
swingin and ringin goes the bells
The rhyming and chiming
Such a beautiful sound
Hear them loud hear them so low
Even outta tune
Twangin
Clangin goes the bells oh how they do flow
Merry bosom keepin time
Stay with the beats
And play those bells loud and long
Runic rhyme
The bells are ringin
Ringin a happy tune for you and me

DING-A-LING LORE
When Chuck sang of his ding-a-ling
did he mean some non-ringing thing?
When Anita Wood urged “ring my bell”
was there meaning she could not tell?
The question, I am assuming,
is: is it just a ding-a-ling
who thinks “ding-a-ling” has meaning
solely confined to bells’ pealing?
The answer would seem negative,
and far more broadly assertive
as euphemisms for some things
more personal than mere bell rings.

Inspired by videos of songs of Chuck Berry’s “My Ding-A-Ling” and Anita Wood’s “Ring My Bell” posted by Bettie Davis on Creative Poetry Corral’s Thematic Attic Thursday poetry challenge for 12/12/13 on Friendburst.
Love can be somewhere in a moment so quick
Just a blink of the eye
And you’re feeling it
As the butterflies tumble
Into your stomach with care
That’s what love is
It’s in the air..
