My Dragon Fly and Me
If I could be a Dragon Fly and wing my way through the sky I would never be shy just me and my Dragon Fly!
By moonlight we ride the wind chase the comets tail for fun by day we would hide from the sun our fragile wings would come undone
On darkest nights we would use fireflies as our guides we would dip and we would glide through the heavens open wide and scatter diamonds in the night sky my Dragon Fly and I...
And we would wing past our lovers silent in the night... to kiss their face in our flight much to their surprise and delight my Dragon Fly and me in sight...
Such a view do we share away up here in the air of breezes soft through our hair my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

Remember, It's not a mood, it's a choice.

Depends on when Snippy will miss them, I suppose. Maybe she can miss them while she's asleep.

Well I stole them from midday 11:30am to 1:30pm. But if she isn't looking at a clock when it happens, she'll think that those two hours went fast.

The Boy and the Flag
Author: Edgar Guest
I want my boy to be the best,
I want him to be great;
I want him in Life's distant West,
Prepared for any fate.
I want him to be simple, too,
Though clever, ne'er to brag,
But, Oh! I want him, through and through,
To love his country's flag.

Crowded Tub
Author: Shel Silverstein
There's too many kids in this tub
There's too many elbows to scrub
I just washed a behind that I'm sure wasn't mine
There's too many kids in this tub.

Trivia.... What is the origin of the underlined portion of this saying? "Good Lord willing and the Creek don't rise".

"Good Lord willing and the Creek don't rise".
Oh my goodness. I don't know this. Well, I'll guess, in times past they had to cross a creek to get to church-thus the adage-and the creek don't rise??
