I missed most of the interview,Pippin. It was on, but turned out to be background noise with everything else going on around me. :(

[MistyCA]

That's nice, Amy. Very nice. :)

Haven't had a chance to make the Starbucks run yet!

Clear As Mud
by Bruce Lansky

I go to bed each morning.
I wake up every night.
I spill my milk at breakfast,
and then turn on the light.

Each day I miss the school bus.
I never have been late.
I don't turn in my homework.
My teacher thinks I'm great.

My favorite game is basketball.
I cannot sink a shot.
We haven't won a single game.
Our team is getting hot.

Last year I was in high school.
Now I'm in second grade.
Next year I'll be in daycare.
I'll really have it made!

When I grow up, I'm hoping
a baby I can be:
a pacifier in my mouth,
my cradle in a tree.

This poem's so confusing.
It's all so crystal clear.
Perhaps I'll understand it
when I am born next year.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anyone have coffee?
Do you think coffee would help?

Awwww......that is beautiful, Amy.

Good morning, Ms. Poetry and Potpourri Hostess. I don't have time to locate a poem this morning but wanted to pop in and say hello and leave some flowers for the table. I'll try to get back here later today.

This looks like a fun thread. I don't remember the original one, though.

I'll tell a cute story that took place in my home last week.

I homeschool our children and we like to take a break in the morning after we work for a while. Last year, we watched "I Love Lucy" for our break, but we've seen almost all of the episodes, so I decided that we will watch "Leave it to Beaver" this year. I was secretly hoping that my children would be inspired by the Beaver and Wally who I think are wonderful role models.

Well, a few weeks after watching the show, my ten year old son came up to me and said, "Mom? Why can't you be more like June Cleaver?"

Oh, my! I think my plan backfired!

I do all my shopping at The Google Store. LOL

[JustAmy]

Good Morning, Dansy!

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one with these kind of days. I think it will take more than One cup of Meekie's coffee this morning.

[MistyCA]

Wow! It's so good to see you and Kneezles here! You have been missed, a lot!!!

[MistyCA]

LOL! Reminds me of my mom and uncle!!!!! :)

[JustAmy]

That is such a great story. Are you mopping the floor in 3" heels yet? LOL

Welcome to Poetry and Potpourri! I am so happy that you stopped by. We look forward to seeing you again. We try to just relax and have fun.

[dansangel]

I don't know....Meekie's Koffee is the kind where you can stand a spoon up in it! Hope your stomach is strong!

:-)

[SassyMom]

Thanks Misty. I don't know how much time we will be able to spend here, but we will be checking in with y'all on a regular basis. :)

[MistyCA]

What a funny story, Candi! Kids have a way of bringing it all back home, don't they?

I was talking with my daughter the other night on the phone. In the background I could hear my little 3 yr old grandson jabbering away, apparently to no one. Suddenly I hear, "Wilson Mom! Hellllllooooooooo!" He had been trying to get him mom's attention as we talked, and didn't buy her motions to wait a minute. :) The little sponges can really surprise us at times with what they "pick up". LOL!
