There was a man who lived by a river
Wasn’t a taker but a giver
Gave away his only vest
Cos his friend was cold and perplexed.
Now all he can do is shiver

but who do you suppose

Run Over by a Mule 2d Limerick

In frenzy, we found a fool
Never had gone to school
Or any books ever read
So watched TV instead
Was run over by a mule.

Affected By A Quote

We all were affected by a quote;
Vividly did see results of my vote;
Made me wonder;
Pressure under;
Skipped town and jumped the boat.

My mother punctured my eyes by a fork,
To prevent me to find a jam on the shelf.
I could not read tales, but I'm not to squawk
Because, I sniff better and hear much well !

By a Drowsy Lake

feathery cloud floats,

                                       drowsy lake yawns, slow sailboats,

                                                  warm breeze takes off coats

Happy (Written By a 9 Year Old Girl)

Happy
Everyone is happy
In this bright world
Because of God
Because he made this world
A good world to live in
And the devil did nothing for us
And the devil shouldn't exist
