The Butterfly Story

3:15 AM
There was an ugly caterpillar,
That would do not a thing but eat,
He thought he was quite handsome,
Then he saw his defeat.

He met a beautiful butterfly,
With wings that could expand,
"I can be like that!", he shouted,
And ate the leaf in his hand.

He tried his best,
He looked real tough,
"No," he sighed,
This will never be enough.

He felt tired one day,
So he took a nap,
Crawled into his pupa,
And shut that little cap.

When he woke up,
Everything was different,
The sun was shining bright outside,
And the air smelled of mint.

He felt something on his back,
It was bright and dark blue,
He had become a butterfly,
His dream had come true!

~Author Unknown.~
 


"A butterfly lights beside us, like a sunbeam...
and for a brief moment it's glory and beauty belong to our world...
But then it flies on again, and although we wish it could have stayed,
We are so thankful to have seen it at all."

Trick -or-Treat: Are You Too Old?

6:24 PM
The porch light is glowing, the steps are all set,
With the finest jack-lanterns we’ve carved up just yet.

Our trick-or-treat bags have been retired for years,
But we’re still full of candy and Halloween cheers!

We may be too old to go door-to-door,
And our knees say we shouldn’t go march anymore.

But we’ll sit on the stoop with a smile and a wink,
And hand out the best chocolate treats, we would think!

So dress up your best and come walking our way,
We love seeing ghouls and the goblins at play.

The costumes, the laughter, the tricks, and the fun—
Happy Halloween wishes to every last one!

You know you are too old to Trick or Treat when:

10. You get winded from knocking on the door.

9. You have to have another kid chew the candy for you.

8. You ask for high fiber candy only.

7. When someone drops a candy bar in your bag, you lose your balance and fall over.

6. People say: 'Great Boris Karloff Mask,' And you're not wearing a mask.

5. When the door opens you yell, 'Trick or.....' And can't remember the rest.

4. By the end of the night, you have a bag full of restraining orders.

3. You have to carefully choose a costume that won't dislodge your hairpiece.

2. You're the only Power Ranger in the neighborhood with a walker.

And the number one reason Seniors should not go Trick Or Treating...

1. You keep having to go home to pee.

No matter, have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN anyway.

Pun ... Intended!

5:34 PM
1. A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The flight attendant looks at him and says, "I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger.

2. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the other and says "Dam!

3. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly it immediately sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.

4. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says "I've lost my electron." The other says "Are you sure?" The first replies "Yes, I'm positive."

5. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.

6. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse."But why?", they asked, as they moved off. "Because," he said," I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer."

7. A woman has identical twins and is forced to give them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal."The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're identical twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."

8. A group of friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart,the roughest and most vicious thug in town to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that only Hugh can prevent Florist friars.

9. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him (Oh, man, this is so bad, it's good) a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.And finally,

10. There was the person who sent ten different puns to friends with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh.
No pun in ten did.

A Step Back In Time

10:40 AM

I took a step back in time,
To when I was just a child,
I loved to pose for a picture,
And oh, how I loved to smile.
Little brother would follow suit,
Mocking each thing I'd do.
Posing e'er so perfectly,
Or sticking out his tongue too.
Mother threatened if we didn't behave,
As the photographer loaded the flash,
I stood as pretty as could be,
Kicking my shoes to my back.
From the corner of his eye,
Little brother saw the shoes,
Following along with sister,
Our mother's face changed hues,
She reached out to get me,
But the click was just too fast,
The picture was delightful,
And mother just had to laugh.
There we were in our finery,
Smiling like angels for sure,
But scanning on down the picture,
Showed the antics she must endure.
Bare feet just a shining,
Not even a sock in sight,
But mother love the setting,
Barefooted kids with their trike.


She said it was befitting,
The picture made this way,
She cherished the photograph,
Showing it often in her day.
