"This and That"

Warning Poem, by Jenny Joseph [an error occurred while processing this directive]
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.

One for the Girls. . . . .  

Now I lay me down to sleep                                             

I pray the Lord my shape to keep.

Please no wrinkles, please no bags

And please lift my butt before it sags.

Please no age spots, please no gray
And as for my belly, please take it away.

Please keep me healthy, please keep me young,

And thank you Dear Lord, for all you’ve done.

A Computer Friendship Prayer                                              

  By Pamela Randolph Alcala

Dear Lord, before I go to bed,

These precious thoughts are in my head.

God, bless my friends and my family,

Wherever they are, or soon will be.

Please keep them warm and from harm’s way.

For these few things, Dear Lord I pray.

And God I ask this more of you

To bless my prized computer too.

I know that this might seem bizarre,

But this is just the way things are.

You see this box of odds and ends,

Holds precious thoughts from all my friends.

It records the kindness each one gives,

And takes me to the place each lives.

It helped to make the friendships grow.

Oh, how I love this PC so.

So please Dear Lord, just take a look,

Inside my electronic address book,

And bless the names that should appear,

Of those I love and hold so dear.

And help my messages convey,

The love for them I send their way

In every email that I send

So thank you God.  Good night.  AMEN
