There once was a football cheerleader As quick as a small water skeeter. She could shake and she could twirl She could flip and she could whirl. In competition, no one could beat her.

The Cheerleader
Life is like a pizza, The right ingredients make it quite nice. Take a pepperoni pizza, add some sausage for extra spice. Add onions and peppers For something bitter, sweet or hot. Anchovies provide a unique experience. Though most people prefer not. Life can be like a pizza Ingredients can make it sweet and hot. At times it’s a little too spicy Other times it hits the right spot.

Life is Like a Pizza
My dog ate my pork chops Left me nothing but wrapper tops I put it out to thaw He ate it while still raw Now my dinner is soup and soda pop

The Drama of a Sunday Afternoon
A lady from the Midwest Whose cooking is really the best She can add the right spice To make every food quite nice Creating a feast is not really a test.

A Clean Limerick About My Wife
The grandkids are visiting. Here for a week or two. We’ll play, and run, and do some games. Exhausted when we’re through The grandkids have come to visit. Their stay is never long. They come, they visit, they play, they leave. Their departure too quick and so wrong.

The Grandkids Visit
The drought is finally over Water is falling from the sky The crops are slowly coming back There’s mud in the pig sty. Yes, the drought is finally over The swamp is slowly filling The mosquitoes will soon return. Swatting them will be thrilling. Yes, the drought is finally over Soon we return to norm, Complaints about too wet weather Will come with every storm.

The End of the Drought
Beer is such a wonderful treat. The amber liquid is oh so sweet It goes good with popcorn, brats, and chips. You can drink it, chug it, or even sip. There are IPA’s and lagers, too. So many choices, more than a few. So, enjoy your drink, quench your thirst. Realize, when ranking libations, beer comes first.

In Praise of Beer
I have some tchotchkes sitting on a shelf. They serve a great purpose in helping myself. Some bobble-head dolls and a few coffee cups, Provide emotional support, they are joy-filled pick me ups. Some people collect stones that warm their heart. Others gather books that make them feel smart. Some collect artwork or maybe coins bring them joy. Riches of the heart that come in the form of a toy. We all have our trinkets that bring some delight. Look at them and smile, they make you feel just right. So, enjoy the baubles, the ornaments on the shelf, They serve a great purpose providing joy to yourself.

He planted red roses to remember her, when she died so many years ago. They continue to blossom each year, A memory that continues to grow.

American Beauty--A Memory
For charity I will shave my head. A task I truly, absolutely dread. I will sit and lose my locks. My bald head, a major shock. I do it fore the money we will ear. No worries, my hair will quickly return. So, for charity I will shave my head. Cuz, it will grow back, or so they’ve said.
