My mother’s an angel;
Just how do I know?
It has to be true,
Because Grandpa said so.
If she is an angel,
Just where are her wings?
All angels have them,
Among other things.
When I asked my grandpa,
He laughed and then said,
“They’re hidden, like the eyes
In the back of her head!”

E-Mail from Hell

They were going to meet in Florida
Where they’d spent their honeymoon.
He had planned to get there first,
And she would come next day at noon.
When he arrived at the hotel
He found some changes had been made.
A computer furnished for each guest
Included in the price he’d paid.
He’d send a note to tell his wife.
“Dear wife, They have [...]
Shopaholic Wife
December 22nd, 2007 — Married Life, Quickies
“Take the garbage out!” My wife shouted,
“It’s way too heavy for me to carry.”
That’s the only reason, I sometimes think,
That a lot of women want to marry.
So why is it when they go shopping,
They can always carry so much more?
My wife just got back from Christmas shopping;
Looks like she bought everything in the store!
Do Angels Have Wings?
December 17th, 2007 — Poems for Children
Do angels have wings?
I’m sure I don’t know…
But they must get there fast,
Wherever they go.
Do angels have wings?
I know they can fly
Because they all live
Way up in the sky.
Well, Superman flies
Without any wings
And protects little kids
And all sorts of good things.
Do angels have wings?
I really don’t care…
But, if I need my angel,
He’d better be there!

“He might look like he’s kind of dumb,
But if you get too close to him,
He’ll kick you to Kingdomcome!”
That old mule didn’t look so mean,
In fact, I thought he looked real nice…
So I just strolled right up to him,
Ignoring my grandpa’s advice.
I should apologize to Gramps
For thinking his [...]
