Yummy...a fresh baked Jelly Donut just for you!
The Donut Song
I know you want them donuts.
Got to love them donuts.
C'mon & get your donuts before they're all gone.
Do you like them round or square?
Do you like that hole there?
How about some jelly?
How about some eclairs?
Here we are,
Once again,
Trying to bite another donut.
Take a chance,
Make it work,
No one said anything about romance.

Cricket's Revenge
To tickle his feet,
While a Cricket’s asleep,
(He considers this mean and unfair.)
So ... know this promise he’ll keep,
Should you tickle his feet,
Mr. Cricket will charge you full fare!
Kneel down on your lawn,
At the first crack of Dawn,
Gently spreading the blades of grass.
Then quietly peek,
Way down deep,
See "Cricket," at his morning tasks.
In a moment he’ll chirp,
(For him it’s a burp,)
Having eaten his meal ... (of a fly.)
Then with a quick little spurt,
He’ll kick up some dirt,
As he scoots to a dew-drop nearby.
He’ll drink half a drop,
Do a back-flip and flop,
Landing flat on his back, fast asleep.
This is exactly the time,
To commit the horrible crime:
Of tickling … Cricket’s six feet!
Now, because it’s such fun,
You may think you have won,
But I promise ... Mr. Cricket ain’t through...
He’s planning to get even with YOU!
When you tickle the feet,
Of a Cricket at sleep,
The penalty’s high ... you will find.
He’ll follow you home … find a good place
to hide,
And "Chirp" you ... Right Out Of Your Mind!"
("Chirp ... Chirp, Chirp ... Chirp ... Chirp!")

A Curious Thing...
Now here my friend is a curious thing,
And something I'd like to know
Just why is a heart that warms the sun
As cold to me as snow?
Why are her eyes that crinkle leaves
Like winter to my own glance?
Why is her smile that twitches trees
so brittle at my advance?
Why do we try, and fail, and fall
Yet on and on we go?
That my friend is a curious thing,
And something I'd like to know.

SPIDER
She killed him on a Sunday.
While fancy-dressed church-goers
Sat down to Brunch, he gasped his last
Legs twitched once then froze.
She wiped away the evidence,
And flushed his remains in a whirlpool,
Leaving no trace behind.
Poor little David ...
He never saw the slipper coming.

Who Got Himself
Arrested?
A guy walked into a corner store across town one day;
With a loaded shotgun, "Gimme your cash," he did say.
Into a bag, the cashier then put the money from the till;
While the robber spotted a bottle of scotch, up upon a sill.
Sharply he then told the clerk, "Put THAT in there too!"
"You're twenty-one?" the clerk then said, "I don't believe you."
The thief insisted that he was, but the clerk still did refuse;
So into his wallet, for his driver's card, the robber then quelled the
abuse.
Looking it over, the clerk then agreed, the man was o'er twenty-one;
So he stuffed the bottle into the bag, and the
thief with his loot then did run.
Promptly the clerk called The Rangers and gave them the name and
address;
And two hours later, that first-time thief was put under arrest!
