Smerelda's Front Porch
Smerelda's Front Porch
I’m sure that you know
my young brother Bill,
Who sometimes behaves
like six year olds will
I hope you’ll forgive
him for being so bad
His horrible acts make
his sweet sister sad.
**Just six months ago,
he shaved our poor cat
And put Krazy Glue in
Uncle Bob’s best hat.
Now I have forgiven
with all of my soul
For putting silly
putty in my donut’s hole.
(**Mark put "Nair" on our cat)
That you are forgiving
was made very very clear
When you honored his wish
for a drum set last year.
Now I’m writing this card
for everyone’s sake
So you will not make another
mistake.
You soon will be getting
a letter from him,
So just put a line through
each silly whim.
He doesn’t think straight.
He acts so in haste,
It’ll take a few years
to teach him good taste.
Now, Santa you know of
the many real dangers
Involved in the use of
those dumb Power Rangers.
With violence being our
fear—Number One!
It wouldn’t make sense
to give him that gun.
So bring him a Barbie
with nice fancy clothes,
And new dresses, size
eight, with cute little bows.
If you do as I ask, I’ll
try, Santa Dear
To help him behave much
better next year.
"Dear
Santa Claws,
I
have been so good. I don't know how to be bad.
I
want a whirlybird real bad. They are all gone at
the
store. You are my last hope. I saw you fly over
last
time. Did you see me? Why didn't you eat the
cookie
I left for you. If Laura says there was suppose
to
be more cookies there I didn't eat them.
I
want all the other toys you made me too, but I have
to
have a whirly bird. I have been so good, you would
love
me.
I
love you Santa Claws. "
Mark
Mark & Laura
..as they were..
And from
his older sister, Laura...
Merry Christmas Mother and
Bubba, I love you
and will always miss you.
An eye for an
eye and a tooth for a tooth will surely
leave us all
blind and toothless.
"Use it up.. Wear it out.. Make it do.. Or do without."
He who knows not and knows
not that he knows not is a fool.
SHUN HIM
He who knows not and knows
that he knows not is a child.
TEACH HIM.
He who knows and knows
not that he knows is asleep.
WAKE HIM
He who knows and knows
that he knows is a wise man.
FOLLOW HIM -Arab Proverb
