Dead Kids Tell No Tales
“I want what they have.” and “When is it my turn?” “Waiting on Prince Charming” I’m wondering when they’ll learn You can wait for Fairy Godmother To turn your mice all into men But just remember, tale’s not over When the paper reads “The End.” Cindy-Cindy Relly Did you see what’s on the tele? Broken hearts, and slippers shattered Broken record, same old pattern Boy meets...

Premium Member Kids and Cats
Kids and cats have much in common. Cats don't talk, but kids' questions startle us so! When is tomorrow? Where does the sun go at night? Why does the sky cry? How long is a minute? Curiosity killed the cat. I’m glad kids aren’t like that!...

You are my kids And I raised you From baby to adults Now you are adults As long as you live under my roof You need to obey my rules Or the highway Yes I know I been very Restricted with you kids For a long time I am also aware that some of the food I cook you will not eat And it will end up...

To my kids, don't be a God who
What a bunch of hypocrites down here, Acting as if He's not there. He sends trouble to get our attention, And their first reaction is prayer. When the trouble goes away, Any thoughts about him does too. Someone grateful says "Thank God" While the ungrateful say "God who???" Let the same God-denier's child get sick, Or lose someone they loved. They have the nerve to...

Dirt Driveways
Dirt Driveways Who knew that dirt driveways lead to happy homes? That Prince Charming’s white horse is really a black BMW. That our kingdom would consist of his, mine, and ours. Who knew that fairytale castles came in split-level houses with cathedral ceilings? That the beauty in the house comes from the twists and turns in the architecture. That...

A SILLY DAY!
Did the ocean try to dry its splashy face? Did mountains brush off dusty, grassy trace? Did the ground hide softly from the rainy days? Did the wind play statue at morning's crystal maze? Did planets wear funny costumes, just in case? Let your own glory glitter, like fireflies' wobbly space!...

Premium Member My Light-Hearted Kids Poem
Kids are rough. They make my shoulders tired. My eyes ruddy. They make me 2nd, 3rd, 4th guess myself. All of reality is questioned And I’m summoned for answers. Constantly running out of juice. The fridge and pantries are stuffed to the gills With every non-preferred food item imaginable. I look over at my 3 persuasive goblin angels. They appear to laugh and cry at...

And from my soul let truth be told Little ones, in heart I hold Their little hands, fingers and toes Their glowing faces, the way it shows When they are happy, or sometimes sad When they are good, or sometimes bad These little ones, that I love to death They always seem, to take my breath...

Implosion of democracy Explosion by hypocrisy Not what God meant to be Twisted by man’s hands of deceit Whitewashing history Distorting views Blatant blasphemy Stringing together fools Ignoring facts With liquid laughs Dismissing science Utterly madd Doing favors For the rich While poor laborers Get short stick Dozen eggs Expensive to get Daily bread Tainted chicken and fish Can’t feed the poor In USA Sending it abroad...
