Oreo Cookies - celebrating 100 years

Oreo sandwich cookies
You're now 100 years old
You haven't aged a bit
From when you first were sold

I ate you for so many years
And in my milk I'd dunk
If I dropped you in my glass
My milk would still get drunk

Sometimes I'd separate you
Your icing I'd eat first
And after eating many of you
Milk would quench my thirst

I haven't bought you for a while
Because I've gained some weight
But I miss my Oreo cookies
As a snack when I'm up late

We now have several choices
Double stuffed plus different icing
And wafers that are vanilla
Chocolate covered how enticing

Oreo sandwich cookies
I get hungry when I say your name
I think I'll buy a package
I know you'll still taste the same

Sun of a gun

A great invention
The gun became
No gruesome deaths
No one put aflame

No more crucifixions
No swords to be used
To chop off a head
Of someone accused

Bows and arrows
A thing of the past
For hunting prey
Just give them a blast

Their enemies
Lined up in a row
Each shot in the head
In the trenches they go


A bank robbery

Just show your gun

People will listen

They won't try to run

Disgruntled teens

Brought guns to school
Shooting the students
They thought were cool

The guns that you own
You need to hide
Children may find them
And many have died

Titanic - once the greatest ship in the world

100th Anniversary of the Titanic

April 10, 1912 - Set sail from Southampton, England to New York City

April 14, 1912 - At 11:40 p.m. hit an iceberg on the Atlantic Ocean
April 15, 1912 - At 2:20 a.m. sunk off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada

Titanic was once
A great luxury ship
Where thousands of people
Embarked on a trip

On its maiden voyage
The wealthy came
And those in steerage
For a better life to claim

It took thousands of men

To build this great ship

And after three years

It would leave its boat slip

The ship was designed

With watertight doors

So the ocean wouldn't reach
The passengers' floors

Four days underway
An iceberg was hit
Mostly women and children
In lifeboats would fit

Without enough lifeboats
The men were doomed
When a few hours later
This ship was consumed

Not a chance to survive

In the sea that was cold

Very quickly they died

Is what we were told

It soon became known

Mistakes that were made

An unsinkable ship

Everyone was betrayed

Life without children

They didn't ask to be here

But everyone's delighted

Those beautiful little babies

Their families are excited

If couples don't have children

They may feel out of place

Why must they reproduce

It's really no disgrace

Adoption is quite difficult

It could take many years

And having a new baby

Can interrupt careers

Those precious little children

Won't stay that way too long

And there's no guarantee

You'll always get along

They want expensive clothes

A laptop and a phone

Of course they want a car

They dictate from their throne

Those who don't have children

Do not feel out of place

You're saving lots of money

In a house that has more space

What ever happened to baby ...

Her little baby boy

He suckled at her breast

She adored her baby

Knowing she was blessed

A handsome little boy

Outside he liked to play

He had a lot of friends

They'd go out everyday

When he was in his youth

Some people he would see

They seemed a little different

With him they wouldn't be

All these different people

He then would tell the crowd

To live among his people

Couldn't be allowed

First the German Jews

And like a plague it spread

Wherever Nazi's occupied

Most Jews would end up dead

Her handsome blue eyed boy

Was she the one to blame

Her son was Adolph Hitler

And a monster he became

Red Hats

There are hats of many colors

But red is what we wear

And with our purple outfits

Everyone will stare

While eating in a restaurant

Or going to a show

The ladies in our club

With red hats they will go

Many hats we're worn

We've had to multi-task

As working wives and mothers

What more could anyone ask

Our red and purple colors

These clashing clothes we wear

But now we're middle age

And we no longer care

The Wright Brothers

On December 17, 1903

A little home built plane

Invented by the Wright Brothers

It did more than entertain

In the state of North Carolina

This first airplane was flown

At a town called Kitty Hawk

It soon became well known

Back then they couldn't envision

We would have jumbo jets

With built in movie screens

We can even bring our pets

Twenty four years later

Was Charles Lindburgh's flight

The first to cross the Atlantic

His landing was an awesome sight

Along came Amelia Earhardt

Two oceans she had crossed

Until that fateful day

When Emilia's plane was lost

In the Air Force as a pilot

Chuck Yeager flew so fast

Breaking the sound barrier

This speed was unsurpassed

Airplanes carrying weapons

Far back as World War One

It was built for transportation

To fight wars it needed a gun

Airplanes that got hijacked

Waited on the ground

Those jets flown into buildings

Would become a burial mound
