Grandma Kay’s 95th Birthday by Suzae Chevalier
Grandma Kay just turned ninety five,
on her birthday in 2009.
In her nursing home her family was there,
Watching her blew out birthday candle without a care.
She was the star of her birthday show,
She blew out a candle that sparkled and glowed.
Friends and family sang along,
to her personalized birthday song.
Her son Russ played the guitar,
this was her best birthday by far.
She unwrapped presents from family and friends,
she was very happy like a child again.
Photo memories are snapped in time,
To remember Kay’s 95th Birthday that shined.

or rain.
Thank you Sherm

Steve Jobs Remembered – Poem by Suzae Chevalier
Something about Steve Jobs people don’t know now
his parents met in Wisc. with the cows.
Steve dad’s is Arabic so marriage was a no, no.
didn’t stop them from having a kid in San Francisco.
He invented the personal computer, the iPod, iPad, and the iPhone
he left a legacy with inventions still unknown.
Steve Jobs is compared to Albert Einstein
Steve was the genius of our time.
He never finished college with a degree
he has done a lot to help the human race succeed.
Steve Jobs we will all miss you
“Please Rest In Peace.”

Uncle Lenny – Poem by Suzae Chevalier
There is an Italian who lives in New York City,
he is a sweetheart, he thinks I’m pretty.
He came down to see me and took me out to eat,
we talked of a stalker who lives on his street.
Yes, he is handsome for his age,
stalker lady goes through his mail reading one page.
Now Uncle Lenny has seen it all,
in NYC taxi cab he drove tourists with alot of gall.
Yes, Uncle Lenny drove a NYC taxi cab,
A safe driver award plaque he does have.
Now we went to Tampa and I heard some ghosts,
He said he didn’t hear any for his ears are toast.
He’s sweetheart who thinks of me,
He left surprises in my luggage for me to keep.
Now Uncle Lenny still can drive,
He is quick and has a sharp keen eye.
Thanks Uncle Lenny for the happy memories,
it was fun and very interesting!

BROOKLYN FOURTH OF JULY 2007 by Suzae Chevalier
The year was 2007-
I was on the roof of YWCA
almost close to heaven.
For the firecrackers went boom, boom, boom
all sound off with the light of the moon.
Looking up in the sky–
colors burst a mile high.
Zooming towards the water below
all four bridges sparkle and glow.
This all happens like synchronicity
looks so smooth with simplicity.
The Spectacular of Macy’s Fireworks display
is worth seeing by the bay–
if you happened to be up that way
to celebrate Independence day.
Try to get on a building rooftop fast–
fireworks great but won’t last
Take pictures if you can
of this Macy’s Fireworks Spectacular which is grand.

NYC 2001 – Poem by Suzae Chevalier
I was in NYC on the street of Lexington Ave.
This street is close to Madison known for it’s high class ads.
I was there in hotel room number 711-
believe me it was no peaceful heaven.
I was up all night with noise from a truck
up on the 7th floor is where I was stuck.
Tired I missed my bus the next day
I was very late to airport JFK.
Luckily an unlucky girl from MN was there
she was crying hysterical without a care.
We rebooked our flight out of Washington D.C.
driving to DC airport
before that plane did leave.
On the drive unlucky girl did complain
about the morning and everything.
I told her I lived on gambling for 7 months
and when I travel I had so much luck.
When we got to the airport the plane number did change
so I called on my cell phone to rearrange-
who would pick me up at the
last minute to spare
the lady announced the new flight number but I was still unaware.
Until I boarded the plane-
did I realize all the numbers were all the same.
My room number was 711-
along with the time message was left on my phone
even the number on the plane ride home.
They all were my Lucky 711
which made me think of 911 when that
catastrophe had struck
luckily none of my friends in NYC did get hurt or stuck.
Years later I lived at a 711 address-
I had an accident at that number on a
different street I do confess.
I ended up fine without a mess.
Now is 711 meant to be?
Should I play the lottery?
Now when 711 ever crosses my mind
I try to save it in my diary in that point in time.

Arylce and Beverly by Suzae Chevalier
Working at an architect firm-
I met two women where trust was earned.
Names are Arylce and Beverly
they lived the hard life with loyalty.
Loyalty to Smiley, Glotter & Nyberg architects
they did give–
they received a pension in which to live.
Now I saw Arlyce in a nursing home
where she was left all alone.
I gave her a Barbie Doll
She was so Happy to see me-!
she forgot it all-
Forgot she had schizophrenia
She said long words to me like never before.
Like “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Wow to see You in a million years!”
Then I talked to Arylce as I wiped my tears
she was very happy to see me-
she is a sweet dear.
Now with Beverly we sent Christmas cards
to each other with good cheer.
Beverly so sorry I didn’t get to Willmar when I was near.
Now both women friends have passed-
They are together laughing again at last.

LOUELLA HAS A VERY KIND HEART by Suzae Chevalier
Louella has a very kind heart
She always said the words “Golden”
right from the start.
Louella was very generous with me
She would let me make copies for free.
She also promoted my Barnes & Noble show
She would walk up Nicollet Mall—
Handing out flyers while shouting to the crowds
She was fearless, didn’t care if she was loud.
She gave me one of my Krendoll island chairs
She donated to me for she has a heart that cares.
She was always upbeat and in a good mood
I loved getting her lunches to show my gratitude.
Thank you Louella for helping me
And a big hug from Melodie
And also
Very Happy Birthday to You-
I hope its filled with glee.

Myrtle Beach 2010 by Suzae Chevalier
I booked a show to story-tell
In a church with UniCandle and Mel.
Myrtle Beach the destiny to be
I drove all night, to the hour of three.
I performed with puppets in front
of the church the next day-
Puppet recited poem with birds flying away.
Then downstairs to Sunday School
Children dressed in Krendoll costumes which were cool.
Children laughed real loud
Had so much fun the upstairs adult crowd–
Heard how children were having fun
This is before storytelling has begun.
Now storytelling of “Sarah’s Special Birthday” goes real smooth,
Girl in front acts out a pterodactyl with no tooth.
Photos taken that show the day,
It turned out great I have to say.
