House





        Boys Becoming Men
        From the Basement of Springfield
        Welcome to 'Da House'
        Where Minds Are Challenged and Shaped
        Since 1867

Premium Member Another History Report - The Donner Party

The Donner's left Springfield in forty-six,
but they took Hastings Cutoff and got in a fix.
Things got a bit tense as they continued to tramp,
but they found themselves a nice place to camp.
Their Winter hideaway scenery was inspired,  
but the food, they say, left something to be desired.

Wishin' and Hopin' (And Thinkin' and Prayin'!)

...with apologies to Dusty Springfield!


We suitors were idiots squabbling in line
   till mademoiselle informed us of her choice;
intoxicating, her bouquet divine,
   like the vintage of a rich, full-bodied wine;
fearful she would not hearken to my voice,
   overjoyed when she consented to be mine!

Premium Member tailgating in Springfield Ohio

Citing cats some immigrants ate
Was his weirdest part of debate
While this barbecue
Could ignite a few
It won't make America great

He's mired with the syndrome Tourette's
The point he should make--Trump forgets!
Supporters have pain
That his tired dead brain
Is consumed by those eating pets

Premium Member Shout out to Crystal Cave in Missouri

crystal cave in Springfield Missouri
full of underground rooms and a jail
ghost room where spirits whisper and scurry
enormous concert hall, hearty and hale

Rainbow Falls and witches bathtub too
domed ceiling chimes room which can sing
helicite room with walls shadowing blue
excited tourists many busses bring

On Her Way To the County Fair

ladybug, ladybug wearing 
her fabulous red polka dot dress
while holding her 
lovely pink cotton candy handbag
with her beauty cosmetics
while humming a  delightful tune
from the old theme song 
from the Andy Griffin Show
while strolling along the old country road
towards the Springfield county fair
quicker than grease lightning
