A POEM FOR VONZIE

A VERY FINE MAN THE LORD DID SEND,

CAUSE VONZIE YOU'RE OUR TREASURED FRIEND

YOU'RE THE MOST GIVING MAN WE EVER DID MEET,

BENEATH YOUR HARD HEAD, YOU'RE SO VERY SWEET

YOU TREATED THE KIDS LIKE THEY WERE YOUR OWN,

JUST ANOTHER GRANDPA, THAT'S HOW YOU WERE KNOWN

YOU WERE AT EACH BIRTHDAY, HOLIDAY AND SUCH,

WE LOVED HAVING YOU NEAR SO VERY MUCH!

A SATURDAY BREAKFAST WAS ALWAYS A JOY,

YOU GOT SO EXCITED, LIKE A KID WITH A TOY!

YOU'LL BE MISSED EACH MORNING AT COFFEE WITH THE GUYS,

THEY'LL MISS YOUR OPINIONS, NOW THERE'S A SURPRISE!

WE'LL KEEP WAITING FOR YOU TO CALL OR DRIVE BY,

THEN WITH A TEAR IN OUR EYE, WE'LL REMEMBER WHY.

WE'LL MISS YOU DEAR FRIEND, AND ALL THAT YOU DO

BUT PLEASE JUST REMEMBER HOW MUCH WE LOVE YOU!

Thoughts for the day:

* Why does it matter if the groundhog see's his shadow? There is another 6 weeks till spring anyway.

* How does a cloud hold all that water when it's just vapor?

* Why do siblings beat the crap out of each other, but when someone else wants to do it, then they are all up in their face?

* Why does sour cream have an expiration date? Isn't it already sour?

Quote for the day:

* When you're at the end of your rope, tie a knot and swing!
