Chunky Charlie

A Special Poem for Will Helppi A really fat cat named Chunky Charlie From a town called Licketysplit Corner Was renowned for a very interesting talent As a world famous circus performer His extra poundage added to the spectacle People thought it was really appealing They giggled to see him jiggle while juggling Six tennis balls as he was kneeling A pretty little kitty called Cuddly Cathie Winked at him while watching him juggle So trying to concentrate on his performance He found it to be quite a struggle In fact, near the end of Charlie's performance Balls flew off in every direction One ended up in the lap of Cuddly Cathie He approached her with a very red complexion He stuttered and stammered trying to apologize Her beauty made him literally tongue tied Instead of an apology these words stumbled out "Will you be my pretty kitty cat bride?" Not a moment went by, Cuddle Cathie replied "Yes oh yes, I'll be your blushing bride" Dear Charlie could hardly contain his emotions He was absolutely brimming with pride The moral of this tale is really quite obvious Perseverance pays off sooner or later You should never give up when reaching for a star The rewards will never be greater!

Hi Jack, Will says thanks and he thought it was a really good poem! I thought so too! By the way-we are having are second snow day in a row, 24 inches fell in 24 hours! No school for the kids or me(I am going to college at NMU for teaching), so we had plenty of time to enjoy this poem. Mom has to work:(she is a home health, hospice nurse) We will show her the poem when she gets home. Thanks again Jack this was awesome!

We are near Marqette, Michigan. Formerly we lived near Houghton, Michigan, which is even snowier, (usually). We are scheduled to return to school tomorrow after two snow days in a row.

GrandPa Troll said that as he gave me my Dragon egg. 'Your rewards will never be greater, than when you raise a Dragon' Right! NO Dragon! Put the barbecue Sauce down! These are NEW tennis shoes! Not your 3rd breakfast! But my tootsies do need a bit of warming, We have cold floors, so Breathe Dragon Breathe! He does help with the heating bill too, And de-ice's and de-snow's my side walks and Driveway. And chases away those pesky creditors... Ummm He does come with some rewards, doesn't he... LOL
