Audrey's Fifteen!

Vol. 1  Chap. 487

             Audrey’s Fifteen!

      Some Say Youth’s Wasted on the Young!

      But I Suspect They Are Among

      Narcissistic Selfie Takers …

      Self~Described Hot Trend Set Makers!

      My Sister Audrey’s the Real Deal

      She Loves People and Helps Them Feel

      Better, Stronger, More Confident

      I Know!   I’m a Recipient!

    She’s Not Just Strong, She Strengthens Me!

    Encouraging, Working with Me!

    Focusing On What I Do Best!

    And How I Can Improve the Rest!

      In School or Band or Color Corps,

      She’ll Find a Way to Give It More

      Than One Hundred and Ten Percent!

      Deftly Deflects Each Compliment!

      This Week Audrey Turned Fifteen Years!

      Next Year She Will Be Grinding Gears!

      Then, Way Too Soon, She’s Off to College!

      I Hope I Absorb Half Her Knowledge!

                 Happy Birthday Big Sister!

Thanks to Libraries!

Vol. 1  Chap. 486

      Thanks to Libraries! 

          Ever Since I Was Just a Tyke,

          I’ve Learned Most When My Readings Spike!

          With Libraries, I Think It’s Cool,

          I Learn Year ‘Round, Not Just in School!

          Today I Read, Giraffes Just Made

          The Endangered List?   They Could Fade

          Away Just Like the Black Rhino!

          Thanks to Libraries, Now We Know!

          We All Know Knowledge is Power!

          So We Know This is the Hour

          We Must Act, Not Dilly~Dally,
          If the Giraffe is to Rally!

          When Libraries Sound the Alarm,

          They Also Teach Us That the Harm

          That’s Aimed Toward Each Gentle Titan

          Can Be Reversed, Once We Heighten

          The World’s Awareness to Their Plight!

          Social Media Joins the Fight,

          Proving We Don’t Just Take Up Space!

          We Make This World a Better Place!

             Think Ice Cream Trucks, Trips to the Zoos,

             Think Fire Works, Fourth of July,

             Hot Dogs, Cheeseburgs!   Oh My!  Oh My!

             Seems the Best Way We Can Prepare

             For School Success Next Year is Stare

             Into the Abyss of Va~Ca!
