 When The Moon Hits Your Eye . . .
 
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie . . .
That's amore.

When an eel bites your hand and that's not what you planned . . .
That's a moray. 

When our habits are strange and our customs deranged . . .
That's our mores. 

When your horse munches straw and the bales total four . . .
That's some more hay.

Roses are red and some are white,
Everything Adam Binder
Is a pure collectors' delight.

10.

Roses are red
Without Binder, I'm blue
Throw in some bling
and I'm over the moon!!

11.

Roses are red,
Who the heck cares
It's Binder we love
And his work that he shares.

From very large bronzes
To tiny netsukes
There's something for all
To treasure and please.

So go, Adam, go!
Keep carving your stuff
'Cause with all that we have
It's never enough!

12.

Roses are red,
I'm Binder true,
But without those bling froggies,
I feel Binder blue.

13.
Roses are Red, Violets are Blue,
Frogs are my gimmick, and Toads too.
Give me some Binder, mixed with some Bling,
I’ll fly to the stars on High Flyers wings.
 
Sticking Around to see Turtle Delight,
You have to Spring Forth and Hold-on-Tight.
If Caught Fishing, then Leaf Well Alone,
For Aquabatics is very well known.
 
Tree Top Tag is the Mother’s Pride,
Leaping Lizards would be a Free Ride.
Meerly Looking made a Trunk Call,
They went to see The Real Macaws.
 
Out Foxed they were by a Good Hare Day,
The Three Kings watching all the way.
Necks of Kin were eating their leaves,
Where they saw the koalas, Up a Gum Tree.
 
As we wait until the dawn comes our way,
We wait for our bling, excited each day.
Bling, bling, give me all the shine,
I can hardly wait until I get mine.


14.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I love Tangerine Toads
How about you?

Tangerines have Frogs
Adam loves to carve cats
But very few Dogs.

19.

An Ode to Bling

Roses are red, but violets aren’t blue,
However I’m sure the following is true.

January is here and it is time for our treat,
We are all so excited we just can’t eat.

Hearts pound as we wait for “Binder Bling”,
More flash than the brightest of diamond rings.

Our anticipation grows more each day,
As we hope the mailman’s feet don’t turn to clay.

We love Adam’s creations more each year,
And not just when Valentine’s Day is near.

Lisa’s choice in crystals is really quite fine,
But best of all we can say mine, mine, mine!

20.

Roses are red
One cannot be blue
When Adam sends notice
A new treasure on "What's New"

21.

Roses are Red
And so is my Bank Account
Because I love Binder so much
If I couldn't get it I'd be Blue.

22.

Roses are Red (My Love)

Adapted from Bobby Vinton

A long long time ago,
On a cold winter’s day,
I was picking Binder pieces to be signed,
In hopes that you would sign them this way:

Roses are red, my friends,
Violets are blue,
Sugar is sweet, my friends,
But not as sweet as you.

But we are still far far away,
From the Binder signing tour way past due,
As I read your many emails,
This is what I wrote back to you:

Roses are red, my friends,
Violets are blue,
Sugar is sweet, my friends,
Good luck, may God bless you.
