Robert Rocks New Years Eve

Pretty Elsie Downey, the idol of my heart

(from the song PRETTY ELSIE DOWNEY)

Rogueseye wishes Elsie Ford Downey a very Happy Mother’s Day, and as always thanks a million.

I give her all my love
That’s all I do
And if you saw my love
You’d love her too
I love her

She gives me ev’rything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I love her

A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I
Have you near me

Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her

Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her

Lyrics: The Beatles (who better?)

Susan [is] integral to his personal and professional resurgence.

From Rogueseye’s “Tao of Downey” file:

There was a time I could meet practically any woman if her defenses were down, and have her throw down her purse to hold me. It’s the vulnerable thing.

may i stay said he

(which way said she

like this said he

if you kiss said she

Another cool stanza from e.e. cummings’ “may i feel said he”

(may i touch said he

how much said she

a lot said he)

why not said she

Excerpt from e.e. cummings’ “may i feel said he”

Reprised from Rogueseye’s “The Tao of Downey” file:

Q: “Your life story in twenty seconds.”

RDJ: “What am I, a seal?”

Charlie, has anybody told you lately how much you look like somebody we all know and love?

It well may be that in a difficult hour,

Pinned down by pain and moaning for release,

Or nagged by want past resolution’s power,

I might be driven to sell your love for peace,

Or trade the memory of this night for food.

It well may be. I do not think I would.
