Gonna Try It-Not On A Diet # 877

After the charlie horse cramp-

Into a banana tree field is where I had an urge to camp.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 631 (Drought Out)

The tree stood for many a year-

It’s strength was bright and clear.

.

And, then one day its demise was brought about-

The land had changed due to the drought.

.

The leaves began to get brittle-

To shrink up, until they were little.

.

A drink of water would surely do-

But, Mother Nature did not follow through.

.

The bark began to crack-

Even the animials who lived within

began to take track.

.

Packing up their bags, to a brand new

place-

Time was funning out, this was one

nature race.

.

No more could it stand, there was no more

stall-

The tree with no more strength had to fall.

.

The tree stood for many a year-

It’s strength was bright and clear.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 434 (Family Treasures)

The family gathered around-
And much singing was found.
.
.
Mama played the piano-
All the Christmas songs, in
the room, had a Heavenly
flow.
.
.
Father had cut down the tree,
earlier in the day-
And, we decorated it in our
usual way.
.
.
Filled with candles, and of course,
the candy cane-
Not to take a bite, for the children,
was quite a pain.
.
.
There wasn’t anything, yet, under
the tree-
For in the morning, is when that
would all be.
.
.
Mama read The Night Before Christmas,
to one and all-
And, fast asleep, we did all fall.
.
.
To dream of the one who would come
to our house, in the night-
All was well, all felt so right.
.
.
And, in the morning when we were
awake-
Many sacks, for all the children, were
under the tree, for goodness sake.
.
.
Santa had brought us all apples, oranges,
and a bit of candy-
This Chirstmas morning, turned out to be
so dandy.
.
.
As an added surprise-
Mama had made some cranberry pies.
.
.
For us to eat after our Christmas church
service-
The Baby Jesus in His cradle, in the manger,
we would not miss.
.
.
As we later sat and ate some ham and turkey,
and of course, cranberry pie-
We knew we were lucky, for we had
managed the whole year, to get by.
.
.
We always had something to eat, and
we had our health-
We lived the good life, despite any
wealth.
.
.
For we had each other, to love and to
count on-
We knew this fact, whether it be sunset,
or dawn.
.
.
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,
is what we had-
To venture into the New Year, we were so
glad.
.
.
The family gathered around-
And much singing was found.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 679 (A Horse For Christmas)

He was promised a horse-
And Santa would bring it, of course.
.
He went to bed on Christmas Eve-
Until morning, his bed, he would not leave.
.
It took a while to go to sleep-
But, not a word out of him, not a peep.
.
He knew that Santa would take care of him-
He had good sources, for it was not a whim.
.
He had written Santa a letter, and his father
told him so-
That his odds of getting that horse were
beginning to grow.
.
He finally fell asleep, and then the break
of dawn came-
He knew that when he went downstairs,
that his life would never again be the
same.
.
First, he looked out the window to see-
If any sign of a horse, there could be.
.
And, then downstairs he went and
what did he find under the tree?
Horse droppings left, for all to see.
.
The horse had been brought, and
then he trotted away-
Is all that his father had to say.
.
He was promised a horse-
And, Santa would bring it, of course.
