Welcome and hope you enjoy the quotes written by my father, & that were published.
-------------------------------------------------
IT WILL WORK!
When you live a life that's jammed full of strife
Let me give you some useful news,
To really get rid of those troubles in life,
Just put on a tight pair of shoes.
-------------------------------------------------
COUNTER FIT
His tought was a honey-
(I need paper, press and green ink)
But the thought cost him money,
For he's now in the clink.
-------------------------------------------------
SAVIN' FACE
It's said that I am always to labor
To love all men and take all of their lip.
And to also love my hateful neighbor-
Especially those I can't whip!
-------------------------------------------------
HANG UP
"Rock a Bye Baby in a Tree Top"
Is a song still a bother to me.
For today you would say,
"Those abusers must pay
For leaving him up in a tree."
-------------------------------------------------
IT'S SO
I learned it all from my dear pappy;
He taught me fore he was gone-
Sometimes to make your neighbor happy,
You leave them all alone.
-------------------------------------------------
OVER AND OUT
Pulled from the wreck, the drunk replied
"Me drunk? Why thasha lie.
I pulled plumb over on the side
To let at bridge come by.
-------------------------------------------------
FLYIN' HIGH
I tried to match my neighbor's par,
But it caused me much pain.
He bought a car-I bought a car-
And he he bought a plane!
-------------------------------------------------
CONTRARY DICTIONARY
When looking up a listed word
There's just no way around it-
If we, ourselves can't spell the word
How'll we know when we've found it?
-------------------------------------------------
DOUBLE TROUBLE
Why reach the moon in such a fizz?
The stars, or any other?
We fuss and fight on earth as it is-
No use to spoil another

I already thought, wow.....we hardly ever hear from Texan....and boy look at that long one.

So glad you like them. Oh by the way, I read your reply to texan jstkdn, and he said thanks anyway...but, that he hardly gets to type messages, but when he does, they are fairly short ones...lol. I think by the way he said that to me, that he was feeling left out a bit...lol. Well, I'll have to fix that and give him more time here. Anyway, here's some more quotes.

YOU DON'T SAY
If you repeat the latest news,
You've asked for lots of friction-
'Cause by the time it reaches you,
The truth has turned into fiction
-------------------------------------------------TIS SO!
It's always worthwhile
And ne'er out of place,
It won't go out of style-
A big smile on your face!
-------------------------------------------------
BAD POLICY
He keeps insurance all the time,
And promptly pays the bill,
Then gripes, "I can't collect a dime-
Because I'm NEVER ill."
-------------------------------------------------DOWN AND OUT
"These pants are great,"the salesman said,
"For those who have to stoop,
Now watch me as I demonstrate-
I touch my toes and-oops!"
-------------------------------------------------
MY WORD IS LAW
My word is law, I'm telling you
and don't you err forget me
I'd rule the world and oceans too-
If my wife would let me
-------------------------------------------------
DOIN' WHAT COMES NATURALLY
The world of old was wisely told
To "Love they neighbor, brother"
But men today, want their way-
And yep-they hate each other
-------------------------------------------------
DOUBLE EXPOSURE!
When you are tempted to smother
All others with your bragging and yaw,
And could see yourself, as others,
You wouldn't believe what you saw.
-------------------------------------------------
OH ME!
If you'd ask all from near and far
No one could show you clearer-
All the facts just as they are
Just look straight in the mirror.
-------------------------------------------------
SMART START
If you have lots of wisdom,
Be sure that you heed it,
Stay out of the places
Where you're gonna need it!
-------------------------------------------------
SHORT CUT
If TV's were run by the chopping of wood,
Kids soon would get done-
And go to bed as they should
-------------------------------------------------
I'll share more later...ran out of room. :)
