Electric Lawn Mower Repair Job

my son was mowing our lawn

with our plugin electric mower

it went on and off, on and off
it couldn’t be much slower

he called me over to see what was wrong
I looked around and began to tinker
I discovered why it wouldn’t stay on
he plugged into our Christmas light blinker

Auto-Correct Ain’t No Smarter Than Me

every time I start to write

it tells me what to say

who are you to change my words

i can’t write on this way

before I “Send” I must look twice

or trouble it could be

auto-correct I’ve turned you off

you ain’t no farter than me

Comfort Level

If you think you have everything,
then you probably do.

Renewable energy is my plan

This Earth Day doing all I can

Everybody knows I'm a big fan

Grandma's Mulberry Tree

Grandma said

Don't climb my tree

See knows I

Like mulberry tea

After school

I stopped here first

Had to stop

To quince my thirst

Grandma had

The biggest tree around

Berries too ripe

When they fell to the ground

Grandma asked

Did you climb up high

Why do you ask

I said real shy

Show me your tongue

Tricky little boy

It never helps

To be so coy

Happiness

If you think you have it all

Then you probably do

Matters not what others think

It's all about you

Our Dog "Jake"

We've enjoyed nine great years

Now his memory brings on tears

A joy to us, a comfort to many

Won't be forgotten, memories a plenty

He had a great life and traveled afar

Want to learn, just read his memoir

Played by oceans left and right

Ran in circles with all his mite

A nursing home therapy dog

Went room to room with his monologue

Came to us in the night

To tell us of his fatal plight

Licked my nose woke me from sleep

Laid beside me in a heap 

He licked my hand one last time

As if to say, "I now resign"

His breaths were shallow and movements slow

Held him close, my love to show

Awakened Kim to bid farewell

Length of time I couldn't tell

We cuddled in and spoke our love 

Gave our thanks to The Man above

He will be missed most every day

In our hearts he will stay

His friends still come to our door
To visit the one that they adore

"Sugar booger", "Sweetie pie"

"Honey bunny" were all his ally

We sometimes called him "Jakebrake"

But his name was simply "Jake"

Joyce's Answered Prayer

In ICU through 10 days of hell

My husband is ill not doing very well

His heart has failed two times so far

A stroke and bleed has raised the bar

The man I have known and loved is gone

His heart and lungs might last till dawn

But four full days we watch and wait

For him to reach his final fate

Must handle his organs with timely care

The final part of him that he could share

Day five he's getting very weak

Things are looking very bleak

Dear friends at hand to offer support

Tired and werry they refuse to abort

A vigil of anguish to view him this way 

Can't endure another day

Dear God, "I truly want to state

Gratitude for enjoying Les as my mate"

"If it's Your will please take him now

Or restore him to health with a miracle somehow"

"Please give me comfort in his place

In the future that I have yet to face"

Gods answer to prayer was plain to see

As the feeling of peace came over me

His damaged brain did no longer connect

His vital signs would immediately reflect

From his death the blind will see

With organs to help a total of three

After death he still helps others

Offering help to his sisters and brothers

Thank you God for Your answer to prayer

Immediate answers seem so rare

What Letter Is It?

There is a letter that is so keen

We use it but it can't be seen

It starts the count within a word

Sound it out it can be heard 

It shows itself for all to see

Comes before the number three

It's silent but we write it still

Solve it if you have the skill
