Rabbit Migration

I hope these rabbits pack and go

to winter down in Mexico.

I hope they hop off, hand in hand,

to swim across the Rio Grande.

I hope they’ll soak up Southern sun

and savor life and have some fun.

I hope they’ll frolic, eat, and play

and never, ever come this way.

I Hate rabbits!

D.A.R.

I’m a card-holding member of the D.A.R.

I didn’t know my fam’ly tree stretched back that far! 

I was checking my ancest’ry

and I shook the fam’ly tree.

And what should tumble out of it

but little old ME!

Advice: First Day of School

Don’t forget to tie your shoe.

Keep a tissue handy.

Heed each word the Teacher says

and you’ll be fine and dandy!

Labor Day

It’s Labor Day.

Bright summer’s gone.

The year is marching steady on.

The days grow short.

The nights grow long.

Dark winter’s coming right along!

Sigh….

Fortune Cookie for Today

Today your stars are all lined up.

Your ducks are in a row.

You’ll likely lose a pound or two

and all your assets grow!

My Candle

My candle burns for those who serve –

who wear the uniform—

who work to serve our country

in the duties they perform.

My candle burns to offer thanks

to those whose lives protect us–

and recognize with gratitude

the values that connect us.

Blessings

We all can use a blessing,

no matter how we feel.

Sometimes we need a song of joy.

Sometimes a heart must heal.

We all can use a blessing,

so take this for your own,

and let it bless that quiet place

that only you have known.

Potato Chips

I love to eat potato chips…

the salty taste upon the lips!…

a moment on the finger-tips…

forever on the waist and hips…

September Morning

A chilly nip is in the air.

Dark winter’s coming fast.

We linger on the porch awhile,

but summer’s almost passed.

Fortune Cookie for Today

Today, Good Fortune favors you.

Your eyes will focus sharp and true.

The niggling pests won’t nag at you.

And you’ll feel pride in all you do.
