It's not over till...

Mother made me read her poetry. She said each piece "HAD" to be read out loud. Mother had rules about how to do everything. I began to dread my visits with mother later in her life. I knew, sometime during the week, I would be expected to read much of her old and all of her new creations... OUT... Sign in to see full entry.

Poop In A Bag (Take a factual trip and end up somewhere unexpectedly.)

Poop in a bag - raise the American flag; those Yanks have a brand new obsession! Yes Yanks plan their walks, all around pooping and talks, and let their pets lead the procession. With eyes to the ground, Yanks carry baggies around, and get ready to stop when it's time. Then with one quick scoop,... Sign in to see full entry.

Elephant trunks go for twenty, giraffe knees an uneven three. Trendy beaks and classic tails, gator teeth and shells from snails can be yours for just a small fee. Take time to spruce up your image.

My Brother The Gardener

There's a gardener at my table who's forever feeding plants but don't mistake his motives, for they have a different slant. Whem mother serves a plate of squash or bowl of possum stew, he's quick to share the awful stuff with his friend the Wandering Jew! Sign in to see full entry.

Little Miss Buffet sat on her tuffet, eating her tator tots. Along came a spied-her; he slid down beside her poised to eat lots and lots. Little Miss Buffet, wise girl on her tuffet, knew he was close at hand. To keep spied-her at bay she threw tators away with care where they might land. Little... Sign in to see full entry.
