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.

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.
Feeling a little silly today.  so, here we go ...

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

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.

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 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.
Just more dare to dream moments

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.
