  Dedication

  This book is dedicated to my son Kevin.

  The Deer

  The deer stood in the

  woods eating clover unaware

  it was seen by man.

  Smart Tiger

  The tiger knelt low as the poachers came in

  He instinctively knew they were after his hide

  He couldn’t let that happen for he was the head of his pride

  He simply would not let the poachers win

  He would line to see his kin

  The poachers could search the country wide

  His paws would not be tied

  The tiger simply would not be found

  Even though he was there all along

  He would give them the run around

  He would prove the poachers wrong

  Then he would slip away unseen

  For this tiger was very keen!

  Barbecues in the summertime

  Summertime means barbecues

  The price of steak is a crime

  Many find other things to use

  In the summertime.

  Some chefs aren’t worth a dime

  In this case the guests all lose

  Most chefs make the dinner bell chime.

  Go to the barbecues you choose

  Drink tequila and lime

  Your barbecue will be big news

  In the summertime.

  There was an old boy from Heart

  Who at the table ate more than his part

  One day he took sick

  His mom said this should do the trick

  She gave something to help him fart.

  Don’t tell Bones

  Star Trek officer Mr. Spock

  Simply could not find his sock

  Which had just been overlooked

  But don’t tell Bones or Spock’s goose is cooked!

 

 

  The Soldiers Who Protect Us

  The soldier went to the point as he was commanded to do.

  He knew this was the most dangerous position in the line.

  He would have to keep a sharp eye for anything new.

  The most dangerous enemy he faced was the mine.

  Snipers were always a constant danger.

  Even now he could be in the cross hairs

  The sergeant knew that to this he wasn’t a stranger.

  He was accustomed to these affairs.

  He was a soldier serving his country.

  He was a man to be thanked.

  He put his life on the line to keep us free.

  He took orders from those he under ranked.

  A soldier’s life is not an easy one.

  Some pf them don’t make it back

  Some of our soldiers will fight forever.

  Their flag is white and black.

  Let us all make it a habit when we go to bed at night,

  To thank God for the soldiers keeping us safe from harm.

  We can sleep in peace at night.

  We need have no alarm.

  Angels in Heaven

  Before God’s throne

  Come down among men

  Doing God’s will

  Eternity Rules

  Forever more

  God is in control

  How we have to believe that!

  I have seen inexplicable events take place

  Just yesterday Moore Oklahoma was hit for example.

  King Jesus is still the King however

  Lord knows Jesus didn’t resign

  Mighty is His worthy

  Name

  Oppressed by Satan though we may be

  Possessed by Satan we will not be

  Quietly within us resides the Holy Spirit

  Rest we have in Him

  Safety we have in Him as well

  Troubles may surround us on the sea of life

  Under the power of God we can overcome

  With God’s help we do overcome

  X-ray vision God has of our lives

  You cannot hide anything or any sin from him

  Zealous is God in His love for us.

  Father – in –law?

  Rocking gently we set sail for yonder isle,

  We just want to escape the watching eyes of your younger sister.

  She is a blabber mouth.

  We don’t want your father to know about me

  He doesn’t like me at all.

  He has the wrong impression of me but what can you do.

  You have explained it to him and he won’t listen.

  He’ll listen today because today you’ll say “I do.”

  Lord Save Us from Ourselves

  Lord save us from ourselves

  We have books upon our shelves

  Only one that speaks of you

  Let us learn it through and through.

  Lord we have lost our way

  The world grows more wicked day by day

  Let us in you abide

  May we stay by your side.

  Lord time for us is real

  Please hear our appeal

  Lord please make us whole

  Let us let you fulfill your role.

  Lord we need you now

  In your presence we humbly bow;

  In the darkness Lord we grope;

  You are our only hope

  The Snow is Falling

  Outside the snow is falling

  The children are sleighing

  Sometimes they start snowballing

  Outside the snow is falling

  “Dinner is served”, their Mom is calling

  The children don’t hear what she’s saying

  Outside the snow is falling

  The children are sleighing!

  Stand out

  I have loved you from before we met

  You have always been my wife

  Woman I would die for you

  In a second I would give my life.

  Let nobody ever fool you

  Let nobody ever lie

  If I ever lost you woman

  I know my world would cry.

  I am so much in love with you.

  I want to make you proud.

  I want to give you everything.

  I want you to stand out among the crowd.

  Gettysburg

  The battle began like any other

  Both sides sure they would win

  It would cost the lives of thousands of men

  It was a battle of bother against brother

  They would constantly test one another

  It was a battle to end a country’s sin

  Many would be freed from the slave’s den

  They would fight for wife and mother

  This was the great battle of Gettysburg

  It was the turning point of the U. S. Civil War

  It was a massacre like Fredericksburg

  Only this time the North won for sure

  This battle helped set men free

  Without it where would we be?

  A Brighter Future

  If God is for you

  Your enemies cannot stand

  If God is for you

  He’ll do what He has planned.

  There are no mistakes with God

  Everything comes to pass

  He knows exactly what we need

  Whether a little or in mass.

  Do believe in God my friend

  Put your faith in His Son

  He gave His life for you

  It was on the cross when He said “It is done.”

  We have only two choices for eternity

  No matter what else people may “think”

  If they die without receiving Christ

  Into the pits of Hell they will sink!

  No Christian wants to see that happen

  So I will continue to write

  Maybe I can reach a few

  It will make their future bright!

  The Poet

  A poet is dreamer

  Sculpting dreams out of mere words

  A poet is a cowboy

  Rounding up the biggest herds.

  A poet is an artist

  Painting pictures for all to see

  A poet is a bird

  His spirit is always free.

  A poet is a lover of life

  He lives it fun and full

  A poet is trucker

  He has a load to pull.

  Poets are a lot of things

  They come from all walks of life

  One may be your husband

  One may be your wife.

  One thing is for certain

  All write words of beauty

  We do it because want to do it

  We feel it is our duty.

  Drinking, staggering, laughing

  Parkersburg

  Parkersburg is the second biggest city in West Virginia.

  A city like this can easily become one’s home.

  Right off the bat I knew that I would love it here.

  Keep your family and business here was the message I got.

  Everything is great in this small city.
