Oldies But Goodies....and some I wish I had written
Anonymous
It's easy to be pleasant
When life flows like a song,
But the person worthwhile
Is the one who will smile,
When everything goes dead wrong.
For the test of the heart is trouble
And it always comes with years.
And the smile that is worth
The praises of the earth
Is the smile that shines through tears.
The Positive and The Negative
"I got two A's," said the little boy,
His voice was filled with glee.
His father said, "If you studied more,"
"You might have gotten three."
"Mom, I've got the dishes done,"
The girl called from the door.
Her mother answered sharply,
"Well I hope you swept the floor!"
"I mowed the grass," the tall boy said,
"And edged the sidewalks too."
"I hope you improved," his father said,
" On the job you usually do."
The children in the house next door,
Seemed happy and content.
The same thing happened over there,
But this is how that went:
"I've got two A's," the small boy said.
His voice was filled with glee.
His beaming father said, "That's great!"
I'm so proud you belong to me!"
"Mom, I've got the dishes done."
The girl called from the door.
Her mother smiled and softly said,
"Each day I love you more."
"I've mowed the grass," the tall boy said,
"And edged the sidewalks too."
His father answered "Thank you!"
"For all the helpful things you do!"
Give a hug, or thanks or praise,
For the tasks your children do,
If they're to lead a happy life,
So much depends on you.

A Sign Of Middle Age ...................Anonymous
Middle age is when your glasses and your waistline get thicker.
And your hair and your wallet get thinner;
When you don't give much thought to exercise...
An entirely too much to dinner.
Love Poem
Suzy Lee fell in love.
She planned to marry Joe.
She was so happy 'bout it all,
She told her pappy so.
Pappy told her, "Suzy Gal,
You'll have to find another.
I'd just as soon yo maw don't know,
But Joe is yo half-brother."
So Suzy forgot about her Joe
And planned to marry Will.
But after telling Pappy this,
He said, "There's trouble still."
"You can't marry Will, my gal,
And please don't tell yo mother,
But Will and Joe and several mo
I know is yo half-brother."
But Mama knew and Mama said,
Child, do what makes you happy".
Marry Will or marry Joe,
You ain't no kin to Pappy

Funny Bee's(ness)
The bee is such a busy soul
It has no time for birth control--
And that is why in times like these
There are so many sons of bees.
The Atom Smashers
To smash the simple atom
All mankind was intent.
Now, any day, the atom may
Return the compliment.
