Boot Scootin' Boogie

There was an old woman
who lived in a boot.
She slept in the heel
with her dog named Newt.

Where ever she went
Newt was by her side.
She even taught him
the Rodeo Slide!

Candy hearts -
Read and eaten.
Too much sugar -
Over sweeten.

Another heart
I can not lick.
Please help me,
I feel sick.

Love Limerick

There once was a man named Joe
I'm so lucky he is my beau
Day after day
Together we stay
Our love continues to grow

Happy Birthday to the Love of my Life...Joe.

Lunar Lateness

A whisper
of the moon lingers
on the blue sky while the sunrise

reveals the moon's delayed 

departure.

Paper or Plastic?

each word thoughtfully

placed to avoid bruising

A Clear Perspective

I sit on your nose
while you look on.
The world's a blur
when I am gone.

You need me to read
and to drive the car.
I focus your sight
both near and far.

Sure you get teased,
called, "four-eyes",
but we both know
you really look wise.
