Friendship

I’ve discovered a way to stay friends forever,
There’s really nothing to it.
I simply tell you what to do,
And you do it!

Frozen Dream

I’ll take the dream I had last night
And put it in my freezer,
So someday long and far away
When I’m and old grey geezer,
I’ll take it out and thaw it out,
This lovely dream I’ve frozen,
And boil it up and sit me down
And dip my cold toes in.

FOXES CAN SWIM TOO

A man who lived in Canada once bought a small island. The island was in the middle of the great Saint Lawrence River. The he bought six beautiful foxes and took them to the island.
He said to himself. "These foxes will have many young ones. I'll kill some of them and sell their skins. I may become quite rich."
After a few months he returned to the island. But he could not find even one fox. He told a friend about this.
The friend said, "You forgot on thing. You forgot that foxes can swim very well. Your foxes have swum away from your island. You'll never see them again."

Senses

A mouth was talking to a Nose and Eye.
A passing listening Ear
Said,” Pardon me, but you spoke so loud,
I couldn’t help but overhear.”
But the Mouth just closed and the Nose turned up
And the Eye just looked away,
And the Ear with nothing more to hear
Went sadly on its way.

Batty

The baby bat

Screamed out in fright,

"Turn on the dark,

I'm afraid of the light."

Shadow Race

Every time I’ve raced my shadow
When the sun was at my back,
It always ran ahead of me,
Always got the best of me.
But every time I’ve raced my shadow
When my face was toward the sun,
I won.

How Many, How Much

How many slams in an old screen door?
Depends how loud you shut it.
How many slices in bread?
Depends how thin you cut it.
How much good inside a day?
Depends how good you live them.
How much love inside a friend?
Depends how much you give them.

THE SEVENTH DONKEY

One morning Nasreddin left his house with six donkeys to go to the market. After a time, he got tired and got on to one of them. He counted the donkeys, and there were only five, so he got off and went to look for the sixth. He looked and looked but did not find it, so he went back to the donkeys and counted them again. This time there were six, so he got on to one of them again and they all started.
After a few minutes he counted the donkeys again, and there were only five! While he was counting again a friend of his passed, and Nasreddin said to him, "I left my house with six donkeys; then I had five; then I had six again; and now I have only five! Look! One, two, three, four, five.
"But, Nasreddin," said his friend, "You are sitting on a donkey too! That is the sixth! And you are the seventh.

Eight Balloons

Eight ballons no one was buy in
All broke loose one afternoon.
Eight balloons with strings a- fly in
Free to do what they wanted to.
One flew up to touch the sun – POP!
One thought highways might be fun – POP!
One took a nap in a cactus pile – POP!
One stayed to play with a careless child – POP!
One tried to taste some bacon fry in – POP!
One fell in love with a porcupine – POP!
One looked close in a crocodile’s mouth – POP!
One sat around till his air ran out – WHOOSH!
Eight balloons no one was buy in
They broke loose and away they flew,
Free to float and free to flyAnd free to pop where they wanted to.

Outside or Underneath?

Bob bought a hundred-dollar suit
But couldn’t afford any underwear.
Says he, “If your outside looks real good
No one will know what’s under there.”

Jack bought some hundred-dollar shorts
But wore a suit with rips and tears.
Says he, “It won’t matter what people see
As long as I know what’s under there.”

Tom bought a flute and a box of crayons,
Some bread and cheese and a golden pear.
And as for his suit or his underwear
He doesn’t think them much … or care.
