Katydid and Tree Frog came to play.
They wouldn't want it another way.
Frog said, "I got jacks. You lose Kates!"
Katydid pulled aces on top of eights,
and Tree Frog blew him away.
Please Don't take that chance away from your kids ,make good choices for yourself for them : My Dad, my Dad didn't have much just rich in heart, wasn't really book smart so took to the streets, he was gentle but if you pissed him off then he would get disgruntle, he was a man who had been a Son,brother, husband,father who loved all his daughters, he was well liked by those who loved to ride motor-bikes, yup this was my Dad...It was devastating that another man had to have it come to an end, so thanks mister for robbing my sisters and I all over stupid lies, hindering our relationship cause you had to flip,blew him away but you get to stay..It hurts to be only seven saying bye Dad now you go to heaven . hmmm, I wonder at times how YOUR kids feel about your crimes!!! I love you Dad, though it makes me beyond sad my sons can't hug their granddad R.I.P , forever in my heart!
Tommy fell off his bike and broke his bum
When he set off to find a new one
Big, tall, or one size fits all
A man he met at the mall,
offered a new bum but for a large sum
Tommy looked here, there, and everywhere
Even the stores where they sold underwear
To venders who had his back
But his bum still had a huge crack!
Something was still wrong, how very unfair
His bum was so noisy it brought him shame
It made weird noises and he got the blame
Tooting, hooting, and squeaking
when anyone started speaking
His bum sounded like a video game
When he discovered he had the loudest,
his talent made Tommy the proudest,
A butt trumpeting bold,
better than a pot gold
His sound-system backside, the best!
Sonic blasts when Tommy bent over
He picked a perfect four-leaf clover
A gas that blew him away
well into St. Paddy’s Day
A blast heard from Dublin to Dover
Timmy couldn’t wait for the fireworks display
Brilliant bursts in the night sky blew him away
The first time he saw them he cried,
Then match and chemicals he tried
And now, years later, that’s how Tim earns his pay.

When all of a sudden,
You are chilled with goosebumps.
Say thank you to your angel,
For her needed protection.
The fire from the devil,
came close to burning you.
The breath of an angel, blew him away.
No pain to suffer through.
John Lennon died on this day
Chapman shot and blew him away
So sad a man of peace is killed so violently
You see killing can be done so easily
When someone wants to be known by all
Get a gun and kill fame is at your call
Now the 8th December is the day
John Lennon is remembered shot down that way.

In June of 1870, my Great Great Granddad was playing Poker in the Old West.
Even though he was shot, the law neglected to place the murderer under arrest.
My Great Great Granddad wasn't being honest, he was cheating.
He was plugged through the heart and his heart stopped beating.
When he was exposed as a cheater, the killer blew him away.
Even though it was murder, the law never made that man pay.
When my Great Great Granddad cheated the killer, it was wrong, that is something I won't deny.
But when that man got off scott free, it was also wrong, my Great Great Granddad didn't deserve to die.
