Para Meus Queridos Netos, Owen and Lane

ZANE & LANE

Owen Zane and his brother Lane …

Of tremendous fame

And Hoffmann Lane …

Had to take care of that crazy ol’ dame

For ol’ paul bain

‘Cause he … grandpa … was lame

(Perhaps vain, certainly struggling in vain)

And drowning in the rain

OWEN’S DREAM

I always drool

When I see a pool

A pool is cool!

(Especially on a hot Texas summer day in August)

Come on Grandpa!

I’m no fool sitting on a stool

Eating gruel for fuel

I am not a ghoul

And I don’t live in Zuel!!!

Yes I drool o’r a pool

But I’m a jewel

Who really knows how to handle a tool

We’re out of school!!!

And I really do drool

To be in a pool

LANE’S GAME

I’m no pain

Nor am I vain

Though I’m not always the same

I won’t feign or wane

Lane’s my name

And I am really no pain

I’m here for your gain

I am not here to stand in the rain

In front of the train

I do have a brain

And I am totally sane

………………..

Into this world I came

To be with brother Zane

Guess he could’ve been a Dane?

Grandpa’s a Bain

(Maybe sort of a vain Cain)

(… AND a Kenneth!)

But Lane’s my name

No!  Are you deaf?

Not Jane!

I will NOT fly into the flame

I am ready for FAME!
