To the “Zoo”
Mr. Pete's son loved him
And he loved his son, too.
Mrs. Pete said, “Hon, Please
take Jr. to the zoo.

Re-Pete and dear old Pete came home late.
Jr. told Mrs. Pete they had a lot of fun,
“especially, when one animal came
racing home thirty to one.”

Haha I really liked this one. Took me a while to get it....i had to read it twice. Me and my slow self!! Nicely done!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
