Be careful what you wish for

I wish

“I always wish upon a star”, hissed sissy snake to anyone that would listen.

Sadly, if you did listen then you were her dinner-never breakfast as she disliked mornings.

One day a star fall out of the sky and killed her.

Toad croaked, “I too always wish upon a star.”

Dear Charles,

Thank you so much for your note to the committee members. Whatever you said certainly made a difference. Captain Jack could hardly contain himself and Flossie Lawrence just stared at me.

They voted to disqualify me for cheating.
I won’t forget.

Lost days

I forget

Ann burst into tears, and was comforted by her mother. Paul her brother, turned to Mark and said

“You were late and I picked you up for the Christening. It was snowing and you joked about missing a good skiing day. Are you listening? Mark say something?

I forget…I forget.

Old Love

I remember

I remember when I thought that love was carrying the bag of a soft spoken Irish girl who smiled and laughed at her mates but said yes. In those few moments of walking a life time rushed by. Now I know that love is forgiving each other when others don’t.

It often takes two

Three little pigs went to seek their fortune; one lost it all in Straw and the other in Wood but the third made it by gobbling up the competition.

Why was Hair-on-my-Chiny-Chin-Chin Inc successful: the wife made bricks.

Never heard of her, then you only read His-story.
