Choosey Lover…

A savvy songwriter named Vic, Could think up love songs so damned quick! But each love song she wrote, We thought them a freaking joke! ’Cause the men she dates make her sick!

Give Them Another Life!

Friday is the day we all cheer, When the work shift finally comes near, Rushing home, just to be alone, Drink beer and watch TV on the phone. Then Monday will just bring us back here.

Poor Fred…

A silly fat squirrel named Fred, Was always trying to play dead, The last time he hit the ground, A hungry bobcat had found A snack she made of poor Fred.
