The first present a child finds should be a book on the pillow. Little Connor Patrick hasn’t seen his yet, but what good taste his parents have!UNLISTED

Mom’s friends have really unusual names.
Judy Nextdoor is neat.
Then there’s Judy Debbiessister
And Judy Acrossthestreet.
CAROLINE
November 11, 2011 by
Caroline Cassandra Tate
Doesn’t know about paying bills
Or about the cost of real estate.
She wants to move to Beverly Hills.
She’d like a maid and a swimming pool,
A pony, a mansion, a Jaguar.
Caro thinks that it would be cool
To live the life of a movie star.
Well, to Grandy, it wasn’t funny.
(She hates to see a bubble burst.)
She said, “Well, Honey, save your money
And finish kindergarten first.”
AMEN
November 11, 2011 by
When I sneezed, “ACHOO!”,
Tess said, “God bless YOU!”
Then I sneezed and sneezed again.
She blessed, I sneezed.
She blessed, I sneezed.
She stared at me and then
She said, “I’m going to go and play.
I can’t keep blessing YOU all day!”
BABY BOYD
November 10, 2011 by
Jackson Boyd got so annoyed
When his parents wouldn’t agree with him
About the choice of the baby’s name.
(They named him “James” and
They’ll call him “Jim”).
Jack had made it very plain
That his brother’s name should be “Bruce Wayne”
Or “”Clark Kent.”
FOREIGN EXCHANGE

Herr Hinkel asked, “Sprechen Sie Deutsch?”
And he gave me a big wink so
I knew he wouldn’t be upset
When I said, “I don’t think so.”
MARK

Mark made potholders to sell
And to make his business thrive,
He sold one for fifteen cents
Or two for thirty-five.
THE GOOD FAIRY
October 28, 2011 by
They were playing make-believe
But they didn’t get along.
Kerry, the good fairy, said
That Nate was always wrong
And that he couldn’t be the king.
When he wanted to know why,
She hit him with her magic wand
And gave him a black eye.
He told his friends he got the shiner
Playing ball behind the diner.
NICK NAMES
October 23, 2011 by
Nick’s great- grandmother is neat.
She always has great things to eat.
She keeps a lot on her pantry shelf
And Nick knows he can help himself.
She calls him her “Super Snacker”
And he calls her his “Gram Cracker.”
The Classy Girl
October 22, 2011 by
I see Cabot Colliins
When she visits at the Blakes’.
She’s not afraid of Jeremy
And she’s not afraid of snakes.
He put one in her backpack
While Matthew stood and cheered.
Cabot calmly shook her head
And said, “You guys are weird.”
