GrazillasWe love our silly Grazillas,
Who eat chocolate ice cream because they don't like vanilla.
They prefer lumpy pillas,
As they nap under the willas.
They eat salt by the pillas,
And watch only chinchillas.
They prefer to work as millas,
They...

Get used to an insane, world of can't!

As sniling and kids in a foaming bath.
Rub-y-dee, rub-y dee-dub.
We've been brain-spanked to
not ask any questions.
We don't dare...

Giving Thanks-1-For Mom
Sitting on the porch
neath the old Oak,
breakfast is over,
bacon, fried yeast bread and peach preserves
canned by hand in ancient jars.
They’ve seen their share of life,
garden tomatoes,

peeled and crushed,
a smidge of salt...
