  There once was a lady name Hanna
  Got caught in a flood in Montana
  She floated away
  Her sister they say
  Accompanied her one the piana

  What is the difference think
  Poets all have pen and ink
  Pigs have pen and oink

  Br. Elder told newlywed Coralee
  About how to conduct herself morally:
  "You can have sex all day
  The vaginal way
  But anally's out, and so's orally."

  And, as the cock crew, those who stood before
  The tavern shouted--"Open then the door!
  "You know how little while we have to stay,
  "And, once departed, may return no more."

  New Love Poem - Naeblis

  I love you.
  No you don't
  Yes I do.
  Do you?
  No.

  the scalpel shines in god's sunshine
  street lights whisper pain
  down here near the poison stream our god has gone insane

  Nothing Gold can Stay...
  by Robert Frost
  NAtures first green is gold
  her hardest hue to hold,
  Her early leaf's a Flower,
  But only so an hour,
  then Leaf subsides to leaf
  So Eden fell to greif
  SO dawn goes down to day
  Nothing Gold Can Stay...

  Lydia,

  Thank you for that Robert Frost poem. He is my favorite poet. On my book shelf where I keep my special books near where I am sitting, is the complete works of Robert Frost.

  Circuit & District Overseers
  Always getting the leers and jeers..
  Sleeping on your hideaway couch
  Admonishing like a grouch
  Making your congo crouch
  Be of good cheer
  For you left them this year
  For the Overbeer
  Who is indeed no WT slouch....

  Sincerely,

  District Overbeer

  I SEE the tall church steeples,
  They reach so far, so far,
  But the eyes of my heart see the world's great mart,
  Where the starving people are.

  I hear the church bells ringing
  Their chimes on the morning air;
  But my soul's sad ear is hurt to hear
  The poor man's cry of despair.

  Thicker and thicker the churches,
  Nearer and nearer the sky--
  But alack for their creeds while the poor man's needs
  Grow deeper as years roll by.

  Only for a moment
  Do we sip the wine of peace
  And soft thoughts for a time
  Quickly will give way
  To the worries of the day
  And praying that tomorrow
  Shows us grace

  Row, row, row your boat
  Gently down the stream.
  Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
  Life is but a dream.

  Like
  A pair
  Of mismatched newlyweds,
  One of whom still feels very insecure,
  I keep turning to God
  Saying
  "Kiss
  Me"
