Silly Facts 2

It would take more than 150 years To drive your car to the sun At the price of gas you'd need two jobs A cashier at Walmart could be one A law on the books in Kentucky states You must bathe at least once a year Next time I'm heading down Florida way It's a state I'll avoid going near The actual energy of everyone's farts Immediately upon time of emission Creates an extremely powerful force Enough to launch a lunar expedition Truman Capote's strange middle name Believe it or not, was Streckfus His parents shoulda done time in prison Without dinner, lunch and breakfast It's said, to have your picture taken By the first camera ever made You'd have to sit still for eight long hours I'd wet my pants I'm afraid Some of the water that all of us drink Has at one time already been drunk By someone else at least once before Eeew, wish that was a lotta bunk You would think everybody's eye lids Would need replacing clearly Blinking four billion times in a lifetime Decided to change mine yearly They say it's impossible to kill yourself By holding your b-r-e-a-t-h ........ © Jack Ellison 2012

4th stanza is my favorite so far. I'm reading some of these to my younger brother David and he's laughing up a storm. You bring joy to our lives. The ending is clever too. (: Always, Laura
