If Pammy and Grammy Were Twins! Vol 1 Chap 37 (a/k/a How Poems Looked When Your Mommy Was a Girl!)

        
        If Pammy and Grammy Were                                        Twins!

                If Pammy and Grammy were Twins,
                Would it be Trouble They'd Get In?
                The Trees That They'd Climb,
                The Giggling Times,
                If Pammy and Grammy Were Twins!

                Step One, We'd Have Grammy Subtract
                A Whole Lot of Years; Why in Fact,
                Backwards Time Travel,
                Wondrous Marvel,
                Makes Young Kids of Old Folks Like That!

                Step Two, We'd Have Pam Introduce
                Her "New Twin" to All of Her Youth:
                There's Gina and Rocha,
                And David and Won't Ya
                See Terry Fit Into That Group?

                Amazing How These Kids Now Look
                To Terry; the Kid Knows What Cooks.
                She's Got Every Trick
                To Avoid Being Hit,
                And Every Excuse in the Book!

                So Now When One of Them Screws Up,
                Forget Groundings.  Simply Look Up
                The New Twin of Pammy,
                Who Used to be Grammy ...
                Kid Terry, Who Almost Grew Up!

Love-Dad

Pat and Johnny's Place!

Vol. 1  Chap. 36 
                         
            Pat and Johnny's Place!

            
            While Builders Still Work on Our House,
            I Hear Mom Gripe and Belly Grouse!
            "Oh, Please Give My Home Back to Me!"
            But I Don't Share Her Urgency!

                       
            Our Neighbor Pat Opened Her Home
            To Iz and Me, Our Mom and Bonez!
            Pat's Like a Gramma to Us Girls!
            She Treats Us Like We're Precious Pearls!                          

                       
            Johnny, Pat's Son, Is Oh So Kind!
            He Doesn't Even Seem To Mind
            That In Each Corner of His Place,
            He Can't Escape a DeMers Face!
                           
                       
            Hey, Hey, My Name is Audrey Mae!
            Once Pat and Johnny Saved the Day!
            Every Day Since That's Been Their Choice!
            Pat Tells Us In Her Irish Voice!
                            
                       
            The Day Will Come When We Return!
            I Almost Hear My Mother Yearn!
            But That's Not Quite Where My Heart's At!
            I Love Life With Johnny and Pat!


                  Thank You Johnny!                         Thank You Gramma Pat!

It's Halloween!!!

Vol. 1  Chap. 35

                        It's Halloween!!!

                Trekie Types are Packin' Phazers!
                                    

                Hey, Hey, My Name is Audrey Mae!
                My Mom Says This is the Best Way
                To Build a Heapin' Bag' O' Sweets!
                So We Both Say Our, "Tricks or Treats!"
                                   

                Of Course You Know That I'm Not Scared!
                I Do Most Anything I'm Dared!
                This "Trick or Treat" Feels Like a Task!
                I Get the Masks!   But This I Ask ...
                           
                Why's There an Axe in That Boy's Head?
                Perhaps, I Think, Next Year Instead,
                It Might Just be Both Safe and Smart
                To Get Us Our Treats at WalMart!
