Florida sweet corn
first crop is ready to pick
enough sun and rain

Poem:
.
there is this kitten from hell
all he does is very loudly yell
a needy cat all he wants is attention
the energy level is from another dimension
the cat in the mirror is his newest toy
full steam ahead, no need to be coy
such a little thing with such a loud purr
so much life in that small ball of fur
always in trouble, too much curiosity
to the family he is a source of jocosity
no, no, let go of that curtain
looks like he’ll need all nine lives that is for certain
will we still love him when he becomes a cat ? ? ?
probably, as long as he doesn’t become a bureaucrat

a heart filled with hate
a childhood that was awful
God gave him a chance
she taught him to love himself
they shared a loving spirit
.
Poem:
.
just another God given day
another chance to have fun and play
to be thankful for the blessings received
almost too good to be believed
rain or shine it is all about the attitude
happy are those who have gratitude
be kind and love unconditionally
every tribe finds it traditionally
every event is a God given blessing
a salad covered with your favorite dressing
time flies when you are having fun
always best shared with a loved one
have your mind stay in today and enjoy
let friends and laughter be your favorite toy
