A Happy New Year To All!

 

I hope you all made your resolutions and are still sticking to them?  Hmm?

 

I came across a couple of poems the other day and I found them so humerous.

I hope you do too.

Here they are below.

 

 

December 26

by Kenn Nesbitt

A BB gun.

A model plane.

A basketball.

A ’lectric train.

A bicycle.

A cowboy hat.

A comic book.

A baseball bat.

A deck of cards.

A science kit.

A racing car.

A catcher’s mitt.

So that’s my list

of everything

that Santa Claus

forgot to bring.

 

Deep in Our Refrigerator

by Jack Prelutsky

Deep in our refrigerator,

there’s a special place

for food that’s been around awhile . . .

we keep it, just in case.

“It’s probably too old to eat,”

my mother likes to say.

“But I don’t think it’s old enough

for me to throw away.”

It stays there for a month or more

to ripen in the cold,

and soon we notice fuzzy clumps

of multicolored mold.

The clumps are larger every day,

we notice this as well,

but mostly what we notice

is a certain special smell.

When finally it all becomes

a nasty mass of slime,

my mother takes it out, and says,

“Apparently, it’s time.”

She dumps it in the garbage can,

though not without regret,

then fills the space with other food

that’s not so ancient yet

 

We have constant rain here in the Lakes…its like living under a waterfall.

I hope the weather is better where you are.

 

I hope to come back soon and enter some more of my own poems.  its just taking a bit of time working out where everything goes on this MSN weblog.

Take care and enjoy the rest of today.
