Sign of Spring It must be a sign of Spring, The kind of thing warm days will bring. They sun themselves and come alive; For them there is no nine to five. They like to be where we are at, Just like a puppy dog or cat, Or where we're not, they also like, Even when we take a hike. They're in the... Sign in to see full entry.

This is what I think about them!
F L I E S Here a fly, there a fly, Everywhere a fly-fly. They pester and they bug us so. Why can’t they just go bye-bye? They are not the only bugs That swim inside our drinking mugs. They’re everywhere they shouldn’t be. It seems that they are insect thugs. They bite and tickle everywhere; Even in... Sign in to see full entry.

Just one of those things that happens on a farm.
The Night the Cattle Got Out Jason handed me the phone At eight pm one Tuesday. "Hi," she said, "I'm glad you're home." It was our neighbor Judy. Some girls had driven down the road, Stopped and said to her, "The cows are out, it must be told; Out in the yard they were." As I looked out the window... Sign in to see full entry.

Don't forget
Counting Blessings If you get impatient when you're waiting for the light, Here's a little trick to use; now tell me if it's right. Count all of your blessings; you could start now with your car.

Food
Cherry Pie I wish I had some cherry pie, Yes, I do. Do you know why? The cherries are so plump and good, So, yes, I’ll have some if I could. Bright red cherries are inside, But beneath ice cream they hide. Ice cream helps the pie cool down And while you eat it, you won’t frown. The crust is flaky... Sign in to see full entry.

My first flight
34,000 Feet Up Above the clouds and looking down Is such I'd never seen. Many thousand feet up high, A window seat I'd glean. When I looked down, it was as if A heavy snow had come, Cov'ring everything so deep, And drifting ere 'twas done. Another look and it appeared That trees were there below,...

Observation
Please Take Me Along Won't you please take me along; Did I offend, do something wrong? If I could, I'd be on my knees Asking you, and begging--please. Maybe if I just sneak out, You'll let me go, or if I pout And look at you with these sad eyes; Or what if your Princess cries? I see the signs and... Sign in to see full entry.
