Cousin Henrietta's Growing Something On Her Face
Cousin Henrietta's growing something on her face,
just below her pointy nose - it's taking up some space.
Just above her pointy chin, it's growing bigger, stretching.
Come to think about it now, I find it rather fetching.
"This is not like Henrietta," Uncle Charles sighed.
"Look! I think it's growing wider!" Auntie Mattie cried.
Neighbors, friends, and family have gathered by the dozen,
all to see what's growing on our favorite oldest cousin.
What a shock! It's changed her face! We had to stare a while.
Cousin Henrietta's growing something called a smile.

I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us - don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know.
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
-Emily Dickinson

I saw a man pursuing the horizon;
Round and round they sped.
I was disturbed at this;
I accosted the man.
"It is futile," I said,
"You can never-"
"You lie," he cried,
And ran on.

Hairy Monster lives under my bed,
Dining on dust bunnies and moldy bread;
Occasionally a sock but never a shoe-
Doing as all under-bed monsters do.
Shadow Thing lurks in my closet,
Listening and watching me vacuum the carpet;
When I'm away it reads my diary-
Just as nosy a thing as a shadow can be.
Spider owns a corner of the ceiling,
Seems to find the spot appealing;
Weaving webs and snaring flies-
Every so often catching my eyes.
In my room I'm not quite alone,
The space is a crowded zone;
Monster, Shadow, Spider, Me-
Who could ask for better company?

There was an Old Man of Dumbree,
Who taught little owls to drink tea;
For he said, "To eat mice,
Is not proper or nice,"
That amiable Man of Dumbree.

You might not think it,
You might not know it,
But somewhere inside you -
There might be a poet!

Please take a moment to consider this about yourself, and then take another moment to write a few lines of rhyme, for us, your funtastic friends in A Laughter Club! A Laughter Club...What The World Needs.
WITH YOUR SEWING A MACHINE
MERRILY, MERRILY, MERRILY, MERRILY
LIKE A QUITING QUEEN.
SEW, SEW, SEW, A SEAMS
ONE BLOCK TO THE OTHER
MERRILY, MERRILY, MERRILY, MERRILY
MAKE A QUILT FOR YOUR MOTHER
SEW, SEW, SEW, A SEAMS
MAKE THEM OH SO PERCICE
MERRILY, MERRILY, MERRILY, MERRILY
PERCICE KEEPS YOU FROM SEWING TWICE
make it maybe one you have never heard
For rhyming a word is not obserd it is easy as 1 2 3
Just rhyme a few words
Like cat and hat and rat ta tat tat
Moon and goon and be back soon
Glee and me tra la la la te he he HEEEEE
Just rhyme some words
Dont have to be good enough for any one else to hear
Just rhyme a few words. and we will all cheer.
It gives the belly ease,
It warms the bed in winter,
And suffocates the fleas.
A fart can be quiet,
A fart can be loud,
Some leave a powerful,
Poisonous cloud
A fart can be short,
Or a fart can be long,
Some farts have been known
To sound like a song.....
A fart can create
A most curious medley,
A fart can be harmless,
Or silent , and deadly.
A fart might not smell,
While others are vile,
A fart may pass quickly,
Or linger a while......
A fart can occur
In a number of places,
And leave everyone there,
With strange looks on their faces.
From wide-open prairie,
To small elevators,
A fart will find all of
Us sooner or later.
That farts are all bad,
Is simply not true-
We must never forget...... .
Sweet old farts like you!
Kinda brings a tear to your eye - right?
It's sensible that icicles
Hang downward as they grow,
For I would hate to step on one
That's buried in the snow.
It's really best that tides come in
And then return to sea;
For if they kept on coming in,
How wet we all would be.
I've often thought tomatoes are
Much better red than blue,
A blue tomato is a food
I'd certainly eschew.
It's best of all that everyone's
So tolerant today
That I can write this sort of stuff
And not get put away.
-William Cole

I know a little zigzag boy,
Who goes this way and that;
He never knows just where he puts
His coat or shoes or hat.
I know a little zigzag girl,
Who flutters here and there;
She never knows just where to find
Her brush to fix her hair.
If you are not a zigszag child,
You'll have no cause to say
That you forgot, for you will know
Where things are put away.
-Author Unknown
There once was a man known to us all,
Who was long lived in spite of a fall.
Through long years, trials, and trouble a bunch,
He kept on going by never missing breakfast, supper or lunch.
He was always able to offer a happy greeting,
By the mere fact that he never missed a feeding.
The secret of long life, he knew.
"Keep doing what you always do."
Each morning get up, put one shoe on then the other.
Stand up, take a step, then go a little further.
Each day is a gift to share,
But to see it, you first have to be there.
-Shelby Brown
