Today I did an awful thing.
I wished my little brother dead,
But I forgave myself bad thoughts
And just dumped water on his head!

Skateboards
April 22nd, 2008 — Poems for Children, Quickies
Skate boards are so exciting.
You can do tricks that will thrill you.
If you got one for your birthday,
Someone is trying to kill you!
The Pastor’s Daughter
March 11th, 2008 — Church Humor, Life with Children, Quickies
The young girl asked her father
“Why do you always bow your head
Right before you begin to preach,
While the scripture is being read?”
“I ask God for a good sermon,
That’s something that I always do.”
“If you ask for a good sermon,
Why doesn’t he give one to you?”
All Shook Up

My brother took my coke away,
He said because he had a thirst.
Wonder if I should have told him
That I had shaken it up first?
A Thirty Pound Deal
February 11th, 2008 — Married Life, Quickies
“If you lose 30 pounds,”
The good wife said,
“I’ll dance for you each night
Before we go to bed.”
“If you lose 30 pounds,
I’ll tell you what I’ll do.
When you dance for me each night,”
The husband said, “I’ll watch you!”
