The teacher told me a dozen times
Not to lean my chair back against the wall,
Because one of these days, I’ll lean back too far
And take a great fall.

But I never listened to her, and
Continued to lean back against the wall.
Then one day it happened…But Only Because
She kicked back legs of the chair, and I slammed
                     My head against the wall.

Well I was unconscious for about an hour,
She went to the First Aid room and returned
With a wet cloth and smelling salts
And when I recovered, she said, “Now I hope you                       learned.”

Yeah, I learned alright! And she learned too!
That Big Bubba doesn’t get mad, he get’s even.
I stopped leaning my chair back against the wall,
But, Ha Ha Ha! I put a tack in her chair, and you should have heard her squall!

This poem is UNTRUE. I did lean my chair against the wall behind me,
and one of my best enemies, kicked the back legs and down I went. He thought it was pretty funny until his nose started bleeding...

RELIGION WON’T GET YOU INTO HEAVEN
A certain man had a strong religion,
Upon which he was depending
To get hm into Heaven.

One day he tripped and fell,
His strong religion could not
Save him from Hell.

Religion is self-righteousness
Made up of the good
Works of the flesh.

To get into Heaven,
You have to Believe
In God’s only Begotten

Son who suffered the pain
For for all your sins,
The pain and shame.

So why not call upon Him?
In childlike faith believing, Jesus
Personally die for your sin.
