<span style="color: black;">Our young daughter had adopted a stray cat.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Comic Sans MS;">To my distress, he

me. <br />"I'll have him trained in no time."<br /><br />I watched for several days as
my husband patiently "trained"<br />our new pet. Whenever the cat scratched, my
husband deposited <br />him outdoors to teach him a lesson. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Comic Sans MS;">The cat learned quickly.<br /><br />For
the next 16 years, whenever he wanted to go outside, <br />he scratched the

<span style="color: #400000;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman;"><div align="center">
<br /><strong>Summer Job</strong><br /><span style="color: #400000; font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><br />During the summer, before
eleventh grade and my senior year<br /> of high school, I found a great summer job
cleaning the elegant<br /> home of an older couple.<br /></span><span style="color: #400000; font-family: Comic Sans MS;">The work wasn't bad at all and it paid
well. The only thing I <br />really hated about the job was cleaning up after the
kind couple's<br /> two dogs.<br /></span><span style="color: #400000; font-family: Comic Sans MS;">I was assigned many other duties in the couple's home. The
one <br />I enjoyed most was maintaining rare carvings the couple had<br />
collected around the world on their travelings, as well as petrified<br />
collectibles they had also acquired. These findings were displayed<br /> in the
couple's living room in their hutch. Some days I would look<br /> at the petrified
collectibles and contemplate them. How old were <br />they? From what animal did
they come? Then I would dust each <br />one, carefully placing it back in it's
place in the hutch.</span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" style="margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px;">
<span style="color: #400000;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">One day I was astonished
to find two ivory fossils lying on the <br />floor behind the hutch. I quickly
picked them up and put them on<br />a shelf in the hutch next to the other
fossils. The next week the<br />same thing happened. So I did the
same.<br /><br />That afternoon my employer came into the living room, her faithful
<br />canine behind her. Looking around, she eyed the hutch. <br /><br />"Tippy," she
asked the dog, "how do your bones keep getting <br />up there?"

and was living in the hall of residence with all the <br />other students there.
After he had been there a month, his <br />mother came to visit him (no doubt
carrying reinforcements of <br />tatties, salt herring, oatmeal and whisky).
<br /><br />"And how do you find the English students, Donald?" she asked.
<br /><br />"Mother," he replied, "they're such terrible, noisy people. The <br />one
on that side keeps banging his head on the wall and won't <br />stop. The one on
the other side screams and screams all night." <br /><br />"Oh Donald! How do you
manage to put up with these awful, <br />noisy English neighbors?"
<br /><br />"Mother, I do nothing. I just ignore them. I just stay here quietly,
<br />playing my bagpipes."</span> </span></span></div>

independent, self-<br />assured princess happened upon a frog as she sat
contemplating <br />ecological issues on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a
verdant <br />meadow near her castle. <br /><br />The frog hopped into the princess'
lap and said, "Elegant Lady, I was<br />once a handsome prince until an evil witch
cast a spell on me. One kiss <br />from you, however, and I will turn back into
the dapper, young prince<br />that I am, and then, my sweet, we can marry and
set-up housekeeping<br />in your castle with my mother, where you can prepare my
meals, clean<br />my clothes, bear my children, and forever feel grateful and
happy <br />doing so. " <br /><br />That night, as the princess dined sumptuously on a
repast of lightly<br />sauteed frog legs seasoned in a white wine and onion cream
sauce,<br />she chuckled and thought to herself, "I don't think
so!"</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Comic Sans MS;">A lady is
throwing a party for her granddaughter, and had gone all<br />out - a caterer,
band, and a hired clown. Just before the party<br />started, two bums showed up
looking for a handout. Feeling sorry<br />for the bums, the woman told them that
she would give them a meal <br />if they would chop some wood for her out back.
Gratefully, they <br />headed to the rear of the house. <br /><br />The guests
arrived, and all was going well, with the children having<br />a wonderful time.
But the clown hadn't shown up. After a half an<br />hour, the clown finally called
to report that he was stuck in traffic<br />and would probably not make the party
at all. <br /><br />The woman was very disappointed and unsuccessfully tried to
<br />entertain the children herself. She happened to look out the window<br />and
saw one of the bums doing cartwheels across the lawn. She <br />watched in awe as
he swung from tree branches, did mid-air flips, <br />and leaped high in the air.
<br /><br />She spoke to the other bum and said, "What your friend is doing
is<br />absolutely marvelous! I have never seen such a thing. Do you think<br />your
friend would consider repeating this performance for the<br />children at the
party? I would pay him $100!"<br /><br />The other bum says, "Well, I dunno. Let me
ask him. HEY WILLIE! <br />FOR $100, WOULD YOU CHOP OFF ANOTHER TOE?!"</span></div>

<span style="color: #134f5c;"><strong>A Vagabond's Song</strong>
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">I was baptized by New York City sleet and tempered in
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">New England snow.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">
I walked among the ancient rocks and pondered nature's</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">
hieroglyphs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">
I watched the silver snake ford the brook.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">
I fought. My spear was inscribed with sacred runes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">
I gather knowledge from books and birds and children at play.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">
I respect the mystic myths.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">
I know when there's love and when there isn't.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">
I can hear the echoes of my struggling ancestors.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">
Those who saw me sit and stare and said I was a worthless
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">dreamer are gone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">
I survived the silent sirens.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">
Now I sit and stare and while I sit I think, I imagine, I write,
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">I design, I survive because I can.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">There is inexpressible music in my head, poetry in my heart
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">and a sense of humor in my pocket.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">I am a child of the universe.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;">
I am not worthless.</span></div>

<span style="color: green;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: black;">Bass Boat</span></strong><br />
<br /><span style="color: black;">A good
ol' Arkansas boy won a bass boat in a raffle drawing. <br />He brought it home and
his wife looks at him and says, "What <br />ya gonna do with that? There ain't no
water deep enough to <br />float a boat within 100 miles of here!"<br /><br />He says,
"I won it... and I'm a gonna keep it."<br /><br />His brother came over to visit
several days later. He sees the <br />wife and asks where his brother
is.<br /><br />She says, "He's out there in his bass boat," pointing to the
field<br />behind the house.<br /><br />The brother heads out behind the house and
sees his brother <br />sitting in a bass boat, with a fishing rod in his hand, in
the<br />middle of a big field.<br /><br />He yells out to him, "What are you
doing?"<br /><br />His brother replies, "I'm fishin'! What does it look like I'm
<br />doing?"<br /><br />His brother yells, "It's people like you that give people
from <br />Arkansas a bad name! Yer makin' everybody think we's stupid.<br /><br />If
I could swim, I'd come out there and whoop you!"</span><br />

</div></span><div align="center" style="margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span style="color: #0000a0;">An Englishman took a business trip to New York. When he arrived, <br />
the hotel clerk asked him a riddle.<br />
<br />
"My mom and dad had a baby. It wasn't my brother. It wasn't my<br />
sister. Who was it?" <br />
<br />
The Englishman thought long and hard, but eventually gave up. <br />
"I don't know. Who was it?" <br />
<br />
The hotel clerk responded, "It was me!" <br />
<br />
The Englishman thought the riddle was hilarious. He decided he<br />
would ask his friends the same riddle when he flew home the<br />
next day. <br />
<br />
He met them at the airport and asked, "My mom and dad had a<br />
baby. It wasn't my brother. It wasn't my sister. Who was it?" <br />
<br />
His friends thought and thought about it until they gave up. <br />
<br />
So he told them, "It was a hotel clerk I met in New York!"</span><span style="color: #0000a0;"> </span></span></div></span></span></span><br />
