Ant Hymn

I saw
An ant
A walk
Along
A grain
Of yellow
Sand

And as
He walked
I sang
To him
An ant-hymn
To him sing

Oh ant
Oh ant
I see
You crawl
As here
I stand
So straight
So tall

Oh ant
Oh ant
Yet as
You crawl
I am
Not seen
By you
At all

Oh ant then
Ant then
Who is small?

Mass no Mas

She was the only Non-Native
On staff in a parochial school,
Reservation in Montana...
The school nurse,
Working in her office,
Fighter of colds and flu,
Coverer of scrapes and bruises,
Pre-medicine expert...

A little girl stopped in to say,
"You gonna come to Mass today?"

"No, I'm a Protestant,"

Just then another student walked in:
"You going to Mass?"

"No! She's a *******!"
Said girl one.

And so it goes....

Can't make this stuff up.

"Counseling"

Marriage Counselor: Do you often argue"

Wife: "Sometimes"

MC: "What kind of arguments do you have?"

Husband: "Are we talking about reasonable and intelligent discussions on differences of opinion, or when the neighbors turn off their tvs, grab their lawn chairs, come over and sit in your front yard."

MC: (To himself) "We're going to be here for a long time."

Dead Man's Underwear

I'm wearing dead man's underwear
I ask what's wrong with that
Something you see they no longer need
Where they now are at

From Jockey's whitey tighties
To boxers by the score
Don't much matter to me
What this dead man wore

With the right amount of detergent
The proper amount of bleach
Like I said four lines back
Don't matter much to me

Now please don't rush to judgement
Or my life preconceive
We all have our different ways
Of carrying on their memories

Me...I just do it in dead man's briefs

Had a customer recently die and today his wife offered me some of his clothing along with his underwear...
Did I take it? I'll let you decide...

Swiss Cheese

I'm a Swiss cheese man
With a life of holes.
People, places and things
Don't fall through the holes,
They are the holes.
They don't close in time;
There is an aura surrounding them,
And I'm not looking for fill.
I like my holes.
They become me.

When You Know You're Getting Older II (repost)

Its shameful, and traumatic,
when your hair disappears-
Its even worse, when in the mirror-
You find it in your ears!

But, it helped me start a new career,
and one that I enjoy-
Working at the State Fair
as Bam-Bam! The Wolf-Dog Boy!

When You Know You're Getting Older (repost)

You know you're getting older
when your hair starts getting thinner-
So I stopped by the barber shop
shortly before my dinner-

I said to the barber-
"a haircut I want done",
And he respectfully replied,
"okay, which one?"
