Attempting a little humor for Katy
: )



Witty Words

I’ve always liked the witty things
So many people say
Some I’ve tried to remember
And I’ll share with you today

A friend of mine had one he told
Though it seemed somewhat absurd
He said I should remember
“A chicken’s no more than a bird”

To “Call a spade a spade”
Was one to me that seemed real keen
Especially if you want someone
To know just what you mean

And then my all time favorite
Deals with letting problems slide
The way we’ll do the simple fix
While the true cause is denied

The witty way to speak of this
Is not all that involved
“If your butt itches, wash it”
And then the problem’s solved

Twitchy, itchy place to scratch . . .
there's blood! Oh, someone get a band aid.
None? No worry. Jack has some marmalade!
You bring out the jest in us all.
Love,
Sandy

My favorite poems are always humerous. I can think of many favorite sayings perhaps one day I'll try putting some of them in a poem.
My Grandmother had a lot of sayings I remembered well. Never knew where she got them from until years after she died and then I read the Bible for the first time.

I always itch it first, then shower,
and then medicate it, so I can itch
some more in the middle of the night.
