Nancy got ran over by a raindeer

Nancy got ran over by a reindeer,

Walking out of the impeachment trial,

You can say there's no such thing as karma,

But as for me, I ware a smile.

She had been drinking way to much vodka,

While setting in the house of reps,

Counting all her stolen money,

From the social security checks.

When she heard a frighting noise,

She ran to the window and raised it up,

Millions of Americans were a cheering,

Because our President was Donald Trump!

Donald Trump!

He is going to drain the swamp,

Put the bad guys all in jail,

Close our boarders on the south side,

Make our economy do real well.

But Nancy and her thugs of Demos

Thought Hillery Clinton was just great

To keep them all in the power,

And make America a commie state.

Nancy got ran over by a raindeer,

Walking out of the impeachment trial 

You can say there's no such thing as karm,

But as for me I ware a smile.

They found her the next morning,

Talking like a bunch of crazy bats,

She had saw 67 million reindeer, 

All wareing bright red MEGA hats.

MEGA HATS

Now Nancy and her demons,

Chuck Schumer and Adam Schiff,

Can see themself a swinging,

Or on the Clintons list for a hit.

Donald Trump is a smiling, 

He wants to do it four more years,

He needs your vote in 2020,

To finish getting rid of the commie fears.

Boogie Van Christmas

Boogie Van Christmas

Twas The Night Before Christmas, 

And out in the van,

I have the radio up,

As loud as I can.

My lady was jamming,

Over in her seat,

The base was bumping,

It didn't miss a beat.

The engine was humming,

It's powerful song,

We was set for cruising, 

All night long.

When what to my 

wondering eyes did appear,

But blue lights a flashing,

In my rearview mirror. 

My lady's face went white,

Her blue eyes were sober

She knew I was packing

Were my papers all in order.

Had I been speeding,

We're my lights all lit,

We're my pipes to loud,

She was having a fit.

I said chill out my love,

It's that time of the year,

They have to do stops,

To make sure there's no beer.

Then a young officer,

 strolled up to my van,

I take a double look,

As fast as I can.

He was dressed all in blue,

From his head to his feet

With a bright shiny badge,

Pinned on so neat.

He had a white beard,

And a little round belly

That shook when he laughed, 

Like a bowl full of jelly.

He said I know who you are,

And the good things you do,

But the bridge has washed out,

Just ahead of you.

So alter your route,

Go one road over.

Now proceed on my friend,

And please stay sober.

Then back to his car,

In the wink of an eye,

The blue lights went out,

As he was waving good bye.

But I heard him exclaim, 

As his hand was fannin,

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL,

AND KEEP ON VANNIN.

When I Pass

When I Pass


My life on earth is short,
I know that is true,
And the worst part of dieing,
Is my leaving you.

I hope my time with you,
Has been happy and fun,
And memories of me,
Will be your number one.

Don't dwell on my passing,
Don't be bitter or sore,
I'll be waiting for you,
On that far Jordan shore.

When your turn comes,
And you know that's our fate,
We will stroll hand in hand,
Through heavens gate.

Van Dwellers Prayer

        Van Dwellers Prayer

Can I live in my van in heaven,
When from this world I pass,
Can I travel the heavenly highways,
And never run low on gas.

Can I see the majestic places,
That I've never been able to see,
Can I roam the clouds forever
As an angel, can I live free.

My van is my temple of glory,
A place to clear my mind
To give thanks for all of my blessings,
That someday I'll leave behind

But when my soul shall leave my body,
And my work on earth is o'er
Can the spirit of my van go with me,
As I travel to heaven's door.

My Self Driving Truck

My self driving truck.

I bought a self driving truck,
Because it was the latest fad,
It cost a lot of money,
A little more than I had,
So I went to my banker for a loan,                     (1st verse)
And this is what he said.
A self driving truck will leave you ,
If you treat it bad.

I got my truck and went for a ride,
Along a country road,
Playing country music,
I was feeling really bold,                                         (2nd verse)
Then I saw that farmers daughter,
Laying in the sun
I pulled right over and I got out
So we could have a some fun.

We went behind her old farm truck,
And I took her in my arms,
I gave her a couple smooches,
Then I really turned on my charms,
I heard a noise that sounded like my truck.            (3rd verse)
So I ran around to see,
I saw the taillights of my truck
As it was leaving me.

My self driving truck just left me,
Now I am lonely and blue,
It was the truck of my dreams,
It got mad because I saw you,
My self driving truck just left me,                               (Course)
Taking all my brew,
My self driving truck just left me,
And I don't know what to do.

Now if you get a self driving truck,
You better treat her nice,
Don't go messing with no one else,
Or you'll pay the price,
A self driving truck has feelings,
And that is set in stone,
But if you fool with another,
You'll have to walk all the way home.

My self driving truck just left me
Now I am lonely and blue,
It was the truck of my dreams,
It got mad because I saw you,
My self driving truck just left me.                                    (Course)
Taking all my brew,
My self driving truck just left me,
and I don't know what to do,

Oh my self driving truck just left me.....

I think I'll try to get my old Chevy back,                             (spoken)
That was a good old truck, it never left me
Oh what have I done, I want my new truck back, maybe it went back to the truck lot, I'll walk down there, I promise I want even look at another truck.
Please come back self driving truck.......

Van Life

Back in my younger days
I had a van to drive
I built in a bed and shag carpet
As I drove I felt so alive.

I'm much older now
But inside the kid is still there
I got me another van
I'll drive it everywhere

A few things I've learned
After my first fun trip.
It still hurts to bang you head
And setting on your feet hurts the hip.

When night time falls
The moon and the stars are bright
You stretch out on the bed
And your mind gets right.

So don't condemn this style
I'm living without strife
I'm free to move around,
I'm living the VAN LIFE.

Lifes a Beach

A Frog went down to the beach,
To see what he could see,
He saw a Bear, just setting there,
As lovely as she could be.

What brings you here, he ask of her,
As she sit in the sand and played,
The sand and the sun, was her reply,
Then she smiled and turned away.

The Froggie said, let's talk a while,
Because I am lonely and blue,
The Bear turned around with a smile,
And said I'ed love to talk to you.

So they walked and they talked into the night,
That most unlikely pair,
The Froggie with his skin of green,
And the Bear with the curly brown hair.

Constant companions is what they became,
The Frog and the beautiful Bear,
And if you go to the beach sometime,
Look close, you'll find them there.

Did I Make a Difference

Did I Make a Difference

Did I make a difference,
As I went about my day,
Did I help a fellow human,
Did I have a kind word to say.

Did I help a little animal,
That was scared and all alone,
Did I do my very best,
To give him a good home.

Have I helped to make this world,
A much better place to live,
Have I done all I can do,
Gave all that I could give.

When this life is over,
And I stand before the Man
Can I hold my head up,
And be proud of who I am.

Pride

Pride


Isn't pride wonderful,
Isn't pride grand,
Pride is the one thing in life
That no one can understand.

Pride is what makes us run away,
When our heart tells us stop,
Pride makes us quit talking,
Whether we want to or not.

And it's that sweet little pride,
That makes us turn away,
From the ones that we really love,
When we can't think of something to say.

So pick up your pride,
And hold it up high,
So it won't get hurt and it won't get sad,
But your heart, will surely die.

Ode to a Cashier

Ode to a Cashier


If you've got the time to give me a break,
I could sure use one right now,
There's water bubbling in my eyes,
And I don't have a towel
There ain't a cup for me to use,
And there's people all around,
So if you've got time to give me a break PLEASE,
I could sure use one, RIGHT NOW!

Love

Love


Love is four letters,
That two people share,
Their wants and their needs,
They show without care.

Their actions speak plainly,
For all to see,
That they are in love
Like you and me.

They walk and they talk,
Her hand is in his,
They embrace for no reason,
They both want to give.

That kind of relation,
Is so hard to find,
But that kind of love,
Is like yours and mine.

You're getting on in years,
And your hands are shaking some,
Your hair is turning kind of gray,
But that don't matter none.

Your heart is still full of love,
For thoes you hold so dear,
And a helping hand you will extend,
Wether we're far or near.

You've never been rich, or famous,
Nor a big man at the shop,
But you're a great friend and father,
And I sure do love you, POP.

But That's Life

But that's life


Born young, grew old,
Got hot, then cold,
First I bought, then I sold,
But that's life.

I got married, it went sour,
Got real dirty, took a shower,
Tried to forget, had no power,
But that's life.

Tried to work, but got lazy,
Fell in love, my mind went hazy,
Went to the doctor, he said I was crazy,
But that's life.

Now, you say what is life?
Is it having kids, and taking a wife?
Or is it being happy, with no strife?
I don't know......But that's life.

Think Safety

Think Safety


A Froggie hopped,
Out to the pool,
It looked refreshing,
It looked real cool.

So up on the diving board,
The little Froggie went,
For my first dive, I'll do,
A double back flip.

As he stood at the edge,
All ready to go,
A cute little Bear,
Walked by real slow.

That's not very smart,
He heard her remark,
Swimming all alone,
And it's nearly dark.

Then the Frog started thinking,
Of what he knew,
Like when you go swimming,
Have a buddy with you.

And nights not the time,
For a romp in the pool,
He blushed bright red,
He felt like a fool.

He said to the Bear,
You're cute and you're groovey,
Instide of me swimming,
Could I take you to a movie?

I'm a futuristic car,

From the year two thousand three.

Wasted Thoughts

Wasted Thoughts


The gate goes up,
The gate goes down,
The wheels on the car,
Goes around and around.

As long as this frog knows how to hop.

Because I'm now ..........
Out of time.

Drinking

Drinking

The little frog took a great big drink,
Then he looked around the room to see who was there,
Drinking is not a problem he said to himself,
As he cast is eyes on a sweet little bear.

He ordered one more, to get his courage up,
Then he hopped on over, and said with a grin,
My name is Fiesty, I'm macho and neat,
Come to my pad, and we'll drink some gin.

But the bear said no!!! Coke is all I drink,
I don't need whisky, and I don't need rum,
I don't need alcohol,
To drink it is real dumb.

The frog hopped away and ordered one more,
The nerve of that bear, embarrassing me,
Drinking cokes is for sissies,
In looks she's a ten, but in brains she's a three.

He ordered one more, just for the road,
I'll find me a gal, all dressed up in lace,
He thought to himself, as he down the last one,
Then he climbed off his stool, and fell on his face.

Now the poor little frog, is as drunk as can be,
Laying on the floor, but he didn't feel cool,
He didn't feel macho, and he didn't feel neat,
He felt sick to his tummy, he felt like a fool!

Lonely

Lonely

When you're lonely, and feeling great pain,
It's like standing alone, out in the rain,
Or like walking the halls, comply insane,
That what it like, when you're lonely.

When you're lonely, with no where to go,
It's like having a sled, but not any snow,
Its like having a horse, that you can't ride,
It's being all knotted up inside.

The pain of loneliness, is hard to bare,
And you hope you'll soon find someone to care,
But it's always the same, when the end is near,
You get lonely.

I hope you'll never, feel what I've described above,
I hope that you're always blessed with love,
I hope you'll find your one and only,
And you'll never know the pain, of being lonely.

Loving Together

Loving Together

Love is a feeling,
Way down in your heart,
A since of together,
And never apart.

Love is a beautiful,
And wonderful thing,
That two hearts can share,
Without any strain.

Love is a giving,
And taking the same,
That's done with love,
And without any shame.

I love you my darling,
With all of my heart,
I want to be with you,
And never apart.

Doddle

Doddle

A doddle is a thing,
That you don't know what is,
Some marks on a paper,
That don't make sense.

A doddle is a way,
Of working it out,
And leaving your mind blank,
Without any doubt.

A doddle is your thoughts,
All mixed up and jumbled,
Like you put them in a dryer,
And they all got tumbled.

So when you don't,
Have anything to do,
Get a pen and a paper,
And doddle-a-do.

Mistake

Mistake


To ere is human,
The saying goes,
And I'm only human,
The good Lord knows.

I ered and I lost
The best love I had,
I didn't realise,
That I was making her sad.

She's gone to another,
And I'm left without,
A smile on my face,
Or a voice to shout.

Please forgive me I said,
But she just wouldn't listen,
And she just walked away,
Without hesitation.

So listen my friend,
If your woman is true,
Do your best for her,
And she'll stay with you.

You

You

As the sun comes up,
And the sky turns blue,
I go back in my memory
And I think of you.

For you were the one,
That made me see,
Just what true love,
Should really be.

And you were the one,
That fixed my heart,
When another love,
Had torn it apart.

And last but not least,
As I write these lines,
I'm thinking of you,
All of the time.

For you are a rose,
In the garden of life,
And you will always be,
Part of my life.

The Beginning of the End.

The beginning of the end,
Is not so far away,
Its just around the corner,
It will arrive any day.

The beginning of the end,
Starts with just a word,
That may not be spoken,
But will always be heard.

The beginning of the end,
You say is in my mind,
That you will always be here
Until the end of time.

Then why am I so lonely,
And nights alone I spend,
I can't help but think,
This is the beginning of the end.

Once Upon a Rainbow
To: Terrie, Tammie and Tracie

Once upon a rainbow,
A dream came to me,
The sweetest thing in the world,
With beauty for all to see.

Once upon a rainbow,
With eyes of sparkling blue,
The words I liked most of all,
Were, "Daddy I Love You".

Once upon a rainbow,
The dreams I had were gone,
The words I loved so much to hear,
We're cold and hard like stone.

Once upon a rainbow,
The sky's are no longer blue,
But to my dreams I'ed like to say,
Daughters, I LOVE YOU!

                          Love always,

POP

Pop

The man I remember,
So very dear,
Is the man responsible,
For bringing me here.

In fourty eight,
On a warm may night,
I was born to a couple,
Who knew not my plight.

Pop was the man,
And for eighteen years,
He furnished my living,
Without any cares.

And then as a man,
I went off on my own,
To join the Air Force,
And make a new home.

But every chance I get,
And it will never stop,
I'll go home to see,
My father, POP.

Only You

Only You. 


I see and I love,
Said the frog to the bear,
Setting their smiling,
In your curly brown hair.

But you'd still be beautiful,
If it was red or black,
Or even if it was green,
For a matter of fact.

For it's the person that I love,
Not the looks or the hair,
Or the money you have,
But for the love that we share.

A Love Affair With No One

A love affair with no one

I think I'll have a love affair,
With no one else involved,
Then when it's over,
It can be desolved.

There won't be the usual hurt,
Or lies that's always a part,
And there won't be a lot of tears,
Or a broken heart.

My love affair with no one,
Will include just me,
Then no on can point and say,
It's over because of he.

So when you see me all alone,
Don't feel sorry for me,
I'm having a love affair with no one,
And I'm as happy as I can be.

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature, is that all of us tend to put off loving. We dream of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our window today..............

Valentine's day is a day for love,
And a day for thanking the Lord above,
For giving us hearts that we might share,
And giving us feelings that we might care,
For giving us family's both young and old,
To share to care to love and hold,
So on this special day let's all hold hands,
And pray for peace around our great land,
Let's remember our friends and our family,
Let's make everyday a Valentine's Day.

Please Don't Smoke

Please Don't Smoke

A little Frog setting on an old toadstool,
Said please don't smoke, or you'll be a fool,
But the big giraffe said, I don't care,
I'm going to blow this smoke everywhere.

The Frog said wait, let me tell you the facts,
Then if you still want to smoke, I'll buy you a pack,
The giraffe said, great let me hear your tale,
A free pack of smokes would be just swell.

Then the Frog started talking of sickness and of pain,
That cigarettes cause, to smoke them is insane,
The giraffe bowed his head and said with a frown,
Froggie I tried to quit, will you help me now.

The Frog said, sure I'll help you friend,
But first you have to say, cigarettes I don't need you again,
And mean it when you say it, that's the only way,
If you have the want to, you can quit today.

Now the Frog was smart he didn't smoke at all,
And the giraffe wised up, before he took the fall,
And all you others, know what smoking can do,
And you can quit, IF you really want to.

The Spider and the Fly

The Spider and the Fly

Come into my house,
Said the spider to the Fly,
I have something to give you,
That I think you will like.

So into the house she went,
With a twinkle in her eye,
To see the spiders offerings,
And have some nice pot pie.

But soon after entering,
The Spider begin to change,
And what he had to offer,
Would really mess up the brain.

The POT was not a pie,
But a weed that you would smoke
It made her feel so bad,
But the spider said, take another toke.

Then he told of the job he had,
For that sweet little fly,
It was keeping his buddies happy,
And drugs were the reason why.

All you little children,
There's a lesson to be learned
Don't go into the house with strangers,
Or you may not be able to return.

South Community Hospital

Twenty years of careing,
Of loving and of sharing,
It makes me glad just knowing,
That I have been a part.

In sixty five we opened,
It was all brand new,
But with the help of a lot of people,
We managed to pull it through.

Now we are still growing,
Getting better everyday,
We're South Community Hospital,
The best in the U.S.A.

A Friend

A Friend

A friend is someone, you can trust and share,
A friend is someone, that really does care,
A friend is someone, you can turn to,
A friend is someone, that believes in you.

Friendship is something, to cherish for life,
Friendship is something, to have without strife,
Friendship is something,  you can't have to much of,
Friendship is something,  to share and love.

To fix, repair, make and glue,
With your son helping you.

Mother

As I sit here listening to the radio, just before mother's day, I feel that you're very close to me even tho you're a long way from me. Altho my writing is not perfect, it what's in my heart. Happy Mothers Day.

You cared for me when I was small,
You picked me up when I would fall,
You taught me to dress and comb my hair,
And taught me love so I could care.

When it was cold you kept me warm,
And you kept me safe when it would storm,
You taught me how to read and write,
And tucked me into bed each night.

Then I grew and became a man,
And had to leave your helping hand,
But when I fall or when it storms,
Your prayers will keep me safe and warm.

Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day

I thank thee O' Lord for the job that I hold,
For the house that keeps me out of the cold,
For the health that I've had all through the year,
For the friendships I hold so very dear.

I thank thee too for a country so free,
For all of the blessings you give to me,
For making me strong so I can survive,
For putting the stars in your heavenly sky's.

I count my blessings till my fingers are sore,
Then look around and see so much more,
The mountains the forest the plains and the seas,
The health love and happiness you give to me.

The hopes and happiness throughout our land,
Rest entirely in your loving hands,
I thank you I praise you and just want to say,
Thank you dear Lord for Thanksgiving day

Decisions

Decisions

I get out of bed all worried,
Oh what oh what will I ware,
But that's a silly question,
Because I have cloths everywhere.

Should I ware blue brown or green ones,
Jeans slacks or shorts,
I look in my closet and find,
That I have cloths of all sorts.

As I stand there and ponder the question,
Dressed in my jammies and robe,
Morning turns into evening,
And I'm still not dressed to go.

Then evening makes way for the night time,
And I stop and ask myself why,
Should I get dressed for anyway,
Because now it's time for bed-e-by.

Leprechauns

Leprechauns

Funny and green, a poormans dream,
A pot of gold has he,
He jumps around like a clown,
Just for you and me.

Catch this myth and you'll find him with,
A pot of gold for his freedom,
Then set him free and he will be,
A friend when you really need one.

Now leprechauns we know are not so,
But the Irish folks will say,
In their honor to one and all,
Have a nice St. Patrick's day.

Once

Once

Once I did but now I don't,
Once I would but now I won't
Once I could but now can't
Once I was but now I ain't.

HUNGRY

Hungry

I came here to eat,
But the food was all gone,
If I had wanted to wait,
I could have stayed home.

Now I've already paid,
For what I haven't got,
I'm as hunger as can be
And the waitress has forgot.

I would go somewhere else,
But I'm kinda short of funds,
And I haven't got the time,
Because my lunch break is done.

Luck

Luck

The tires were flat,
On my old truck,
I was flat broke,
And down on my luck.

Then I found a clover,
With four leaves of green,
I was the luckiest person,
That I ever seen.

For my tires got air,
And I found money,
And a lovely lady,
Called me honey.

Little Children

Little Children

Little children of the world,
Forgive our greedy ways,
You're not here of your own freewill,
But of our passionate days.

We brought you here into this world,
Full of hunger and war,
And gave you what we wanted to offer,
But not a bit more.

We put you out into the streets,
To find your own little way,
And left you there all by yourself,
Without a place to stay.

So little children of the world,
When it's your turn to rule,
Think of what we did to you,
And please don't be so cruel.

Twas The Night Before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas,
Out in the  RV,
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even me.

The puppies were nestled,
All snug in their bed,
While visions of dog bones,
Danced in their heads.

Mama in her night gown,
An me in my wrap,
Climbed up in the bunk,
To get a good nap.

When out in the camp,
The lights turned all red,
I sprang up in the bunk,
And fell out of bed.

Away to the window,
I flew like a flash,
Threw open the curtain,
My thumb I did smash.

The moon on the crest,
Of this great outdoor scene ,
Told me the beach was still there,
And the grass was still green,

When what to my wondering,
 Eyes did appear,
But a vintage Shasta,
Pulled by a John Deer.

The driver was round,
A right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him,
In spite of myself.

Around the camp ground,
He drove at slow speed,
Waving to all,
But there was no need.

Then parking his rig,
Right next to mine,
He had it set up,
In a very short time.

Then he went straight to work,
And filled a big bag,
He had it so full,
I thought it would drag.

Around to each camp,
He silently strode,
And left a small box,
To lighten his load.

As the dawn was breaking,
And the sky's got lighter,
He packed up his Shasta,
And hooked up his tractor.

But I heard him exclaim,
As his tractor did run,
Happy RVing to all,
Because camping is fun!

A Bear and A Frog

A Bear and a Frog were setting on a log,
When the Bear said I do believe,
Some honey I'll still from Honey Bee Jill,
Froggie will you join me?

But the Frog said NO I will not go,
Because stealing is not right,
And if you steal from Honey Bee Jill,
Deputy Dog will get you tonight.

So listen to the Frog and try to do right,
Don't steal from anyone,
Because setting in jail and being called a thief,
Is just not any fun.

There's always room for Marlee

There's always room for Marlee,
Setting on my lap,
Or laying in my chair,
To take a little nap.

There's always room for Marlee,
When I go out for a walk,
Or setting by the pond,
We can have a little talk.

There's always room for Marlee,
When I go out for a drive,
Or traveling in the camper,
He keeps the trip alive.

There's always room for Marlee,
And it will never end,
For There's always room for Marlee,
He's my puppy and my friend.

BRAVE

Brave

Big on the inside,
But little on the out,
He's as brave as can be,
Of that there's no doubt.

Chasing off the strays,
Keeping squirrels up a tree,
Protecting his yard,
And all that he can see.

When he is playing,
He's as gentle as a lamb,
A loving little boy,
He's Mr. Brave Man.

Just Over the Rainbow Bridge

Just Over the Rainbow Bridge

Just over the rainbow bridge,
Where all our fur babies  go,
When their life on earth is over,
And God takes their soul.


They run and play all day,
And have plenty of food to eat,
Get lots of hugs and loving,
And always an afternoon treat.


Waiting to be united
With the people they loved the most,
They'er taken real good care of,
Because the angels are their host.


Just over the rainbow bridge,
We're never far apart,
Because they'er often on our mind,
And forever in our heart.

Married

Married

On this day of wedded bliss,
We sealed our vows with a kiss,
To each other we say I do,
And we promised to be true

To love and hold till death do us part,
The words all came from the heart,
Our life together will now begin,
And with the help of God will never end.

Why Don't You Cry

Why Don't You Cry

Every one says,
Why don't you cry,
You shead not a tear,
When your mother did die,
And there weren't any tears,
When your daughter passed away,
And there's still no tears to this day.
Are you cold and have no heart,
You show more emotion when your car won't start,
We saw no tears for your granny or your pop,
Most people would cry, their tears wouldn't stop,
But you stand there like an old cold stone,
All by yourself and all alone.

You see no tears comming out of my eye,
But that don't mean that I don't cry,
The tears flow free when I'm by myself,
With just my thoughts and not much else,
I cry when I think of the good times and bad,
And all of the things I wish I had said,
I still cry for my daughter, my dad and my mother,
So please don't judge this book,
By what you read on the cover.

Hoppy Easter

Hoppy Easter

Easter is here once again,
And the Froggies are hopping about,
Bringing eggs for girls and boys,
And hiding them inside and out.

Now some people think that bunnies bring eggs,
But we know that's not true,
Because Froggies are much better,
At bringing eggs to me and you.

Now kiss a bunny and all you have,
 Is a tickle on your nose,
But kiss a Frog and a prince will appear,
To take away your woes.

So at this magical Easter time,
Believe in Frogs or bunnies,
But ware a smile for the world to see,
And have a wonderful Easter......Honey.

Something Fun

Something Fun


I want to do something fun,
My puppy said to me,
I want to run and jump and play,
And maybe bark up a tree.

Take a walk without the leash,
And chase a squirrel off the ground,
Or go for a ride in the truck,
Just to look around.

Throw a stick for me to fetch,
A long walk along the creek,
This is the type of fun things,
Of which I speak.

But if you're tired, or not feeling well,
I know what we can do,
We can lay down on the couch,
And I'll take a nap with you.

My First Grandchild

My First Grandchild

My little grandchild,
Soon to come.
Your grandpa is waiting,
So we can have fun.

If you're a boy,
We'll do things you'll like,
Like going camping,
Or taking a hike.

And if you're a girl,
I'll take you to the show.
Or anywhere else,
That young ladies like to go.

But if you're twins,
Don't worry about me.
I've got enough love inside,
For two or even three.

So look around when you arrive,
You'll see a man standing tall.
He'll be grinning ear to ear,
That's me, your proud grandpa.
