Sister Lisa’s Surprise by Suzae Chevalier
Suzy and Lisa as toddlers in New Jersey
As a kid I made a fake “me”,
she was like me but not too tall.
I sewed her up with bathroom towels,
she was original and had no jowls.
Practical joke I did make,
with Funny face that was fake.
I put fake toy in my bed,
covered the blankets over dolls head.
Then my sister went to sleep,
I told her from far away,
I was sleeping “Please don’t make a peep? ”
My sister said, “Are you alright?
you look very sick looking tonight.”
I replied, with a yell, ha! Ha!
Then I ran to room laughing out loud.
My sister got scared, and then she laughed,
It was very funny, I do say now
It was hysterical it was a blast–
Funny childhood memory, the ones that last!

Barnes & Noble Days by Suzae Chevalier
Working at Barnes & Noble in City Place,
books, c.d.’s and gifts filled the space.
I was a bookseller and liked books a lot,
I helped customers find books, I gave it my best shot.
I worked with Jennine, who sold books like you never seen.
My managers were Marilyn, Merry and Mariam Volk, I never complained to them or bulked.
I kept busy putting books away, I loved to watch kids in the kid section play.
Kim is married and has another child, she helped me get my books in the store for a while.
I worked with Luz Cruz, her name rhymes with Blue’s Clues.
She is a really great bookseller, she works there till this day,
she always greets you with a smile and has a kind thing to say.
Only Luz is the last employee left from my crew,
unless Kao is still there working very hard too.
Paige who helped me do readings with stories of make believe,
she went to Fort Lauderdale, while Jim in receiving went to Boynton Beach.
Brave, the manager at Boynton Beach at the time,
short listed my book “Sarah’s Special Birthday” from online.
Now it was fun experience while I was there, happy memories I can share.

My Friend Bill by Suzae Chevalier
Chalk painting donated to Saint Joseph’s Assistant Living
Half Italian, half Irish for his last name is Maroney
his name on stage rhymes with baloney.
He thinks my artwork is very colorful, with colors of May.
Now, he was good friends with my dear friend Jimmy,

Now Bill is his first name but his middle name is John,

Bill always visited me on Comedy Night at the Rumshack,
He always thought I was funny and laughed and laughed.
Thanks Bill for supporting me as an performing artist and
visual artist too, hopefully that big original painting will sale
when my book sales go through the roof.

PRAY FOR OUR COUNTRY EVERYDAY
Brave hearts that fought for our freedoms
people would not be freed
to give people of our country of liberty.
Through their brave act they sent our way
Being thankful we should pray for our nation every day.
Send prayers to the Jesus above
To bring peace to them and those they love.
We should give thanks to have the courage to carry on
Pray that they are safe, protected and strong.

Cleveland Friend 2003 by Suzae Chevalier
Cleveland Ohio I went to
in 2003 yes indeed with a turtle named Toledo
named after an Ohio city.
Stayed at an artist hippie’s
who painted famous people which sold
left my belongings at Hippie’s sisters that
that had diabetes because she was old.
Artist hippie thought I was really hot
so wanted me to stay
but I said “no way
I’m on to Florida the sunshine state.”
Now artist’s sister still has
One of my CD’s,
I really did see Cleveland
like Lake View Cemetery
where it was gigantic and we did not terry.
Since then I went through Ohio state
but not through Cleveland which
makes Ohio the state so great
Maybe next time at another later date.

Hummingbird Hotel by Suzae Chevalier
The beginning of wisdom is to fear God. We are nothing without Him. We are to live by His commandments. God wants you to go to Him freely and confess.
There one was a Hummingbird hotel
in Lake Worth I remember it well.
I paint on the sidewalk just outside,
I was happy and filled with pride.
I was a rogue artist that did not give up,
even when they said there was no more spots.
Now this year the Hummingbird hotel is closed
still many stories need to be told
Thank you Winston for sharing what you know
and letting be in the Street Painting show.

MEMPHIS 2006
Springtime in Memphis Tennessee
traveling with friend
last named pronounced Lee.
Stopping at a coffee bar
taking photos with local star.
Then going to river named Mississippi
taking sideway photos of Melodie.
Then off to Elvis’s daughters plane
“Lisa Marie” across from Graceland.
Brick wall with graffiti by fans for the King
just plain writing with no sparkling bling.
Elvis’s mansion surrounded by gate
store nearby with Elvis plate.
And of course an Elvis toy
given as gift for girl or boy.
Razel did take photo with King
she got a kiss, but wanted a fling.
Then up north from there is downtown
we stopped and listened to Jazz all around.
Razel took photos with ‘singers of the blues’
she posed sideways with no shoes
singers laughing totally amused.
Then Razel took a 1 hr snooze
while driving to Florida to get on a cruise.
Memphis was fun don’t get me wrong
this is the place where Elvis still sings his songs.

ANGEL MY NIECE
Baptized in church in Minneapolis
it was a special day I would not miss.
I have a photo of you and me
we both were smiling happily.
Then when your first Christmas came
I got to see you once again.
First Christmas for baby Angel my niece
It was happy and filled with peace.
Then of course I would only see you sparingly.
I have pictures of your volleyball game
you are a teenager now you don’t look the same.
I also have photos of you and with Allisa at your grandma’s
You are very happy just because.
Because you are a sweet and caring girl
You are precious to the world.
I’m glad I saw you graduate
It was a glorious and memorable day.
Happy Birthday I also wanted to say
I hope you received your card I sent your way.
