Pam and I had two beautiful girls when we were looking for a boy.

They used to make a lot of heavy cast iron gadgets in the past
Those things made of iron were very strong and they did last.

I think I can guess about how many items you may just get right.
By your age, my guess is you know the following number by sight.

For years my neighbors leaves have been dropping onto my yard,
It seems so wrong that I have to clean them up working so hard.
This poem reviews a little history and my thoughts on the subject
Of this annual event with increasing costs to which I often object. Continue reading

We lived at 328 Third Street in Phillips, Texas back in those days,
I grew from 5 to 10 years of age there on that street where I played.
I recall the kids I played with there during that time back then,
So I’ll include them in this poem as I can recall them once again Continue reading
