Red Dirt School
It is a red dirt school, oh yes it is
It is red dirt through and through
I have many school memories
I'm sure this is the same for you
School years one upon another
Paved the way for the future
And when it is in red dirt America
It is country life open and sure
It was nice to see the other folks
Who went to the old school with me
We had so much to talk about
Though each time there are less to see!

Fragrant Flowers
I think that we are ready
For flowers in our midst
All colors of the rainbow
The morning dew will kiss
Sunshine will feel so good again
As winter fades away
Oh, don’t you wish that spring
Could forever stay?
For spring is what brings with it
Flowers we love so much
Nothing like a spring bouquet
To give a happy touch
So hold on tight and wait a bit
For spring is on the way
Those fragrant cheerful flowers
Will be here without delay!

Charming Cat Show
All colors and fluffiness
Were the cats on display
Serious now
Not time for cat play
Not time to hunt
No time to prowl
Barely the time
For a faint cat’s meow
Pampered and petted
And powdered as well
Brushed till their hair
Shined and perfectly fell
They all were winners
Ask them and they’d say,
“I should be first
Without further delay”

World of Fish
It was beautiful to see
The fish in all their glory
A marine life extravaganza
That told a lovely story
We were put into another world
It was like we were inside
Of the exciting world of fish
What a charming place to reside
Gliding along so peacefully
All sizes and all colors
This aquarium so enormous
A world like no other
It was a joyful afternoon
For all my friends and me
If you love fish as we do
It’s a place you would love to see!

Soccer Girl
She gets out there and hustles
She does her very best
It’s all about the teamwork
And winning is her quest
Pretty as a picture
She could be most anything
But for now she’s chosen soccer
And working hard for her team
Pony-tail is flying
The ball is flying too
She’s got those rules down good
And she knows just what to do
So come on folks and watch the game
If you want to see the best
A girl who could be a beauty queen
But soccer is her quest!

Almost Spring
As winter turns the corner
And spring is on the way
I wait with mounting happiness
To see what comes today.
I also love the cold days
With frost upon the sill
But something special happens
Once winter’s had its fill.
The crocus buds are swollen
The daffodils sprout so tall
Something special happens
As spring time makes its call.
So get ready for the changes
That happens none too soon
When spring time rounds that corner
And flowers start to bloom!

Fishing in the Sunset
Have you ever fished in the sunset?
I did so many years ago
I remember it like it was yesterday
I can still hear the water flow
I had used a little bobber
On the end of my line
Even though it was dark now
A bat found it a find
For it flew down and bombarded
The floating little ball
Thinking it was food I guess
But it wasn’t food at all
The colors of the night was
As beautiful as it could get
I will never forget the time
I was fishing in the sunset!

Fair Fun!
The fair is one of the places
That you never ever tire of
You can walk around for hours
With the lovely blue sky above
You meet so many people
Old friends from school too
“Hey, how ‘ya doing? ”
They wave and yell at you
Displays are so much fun
Aren’t folks so ingenious?
Pies and cakes and cookies
With wonderful sweet ingredients
It’s summer time and I hope you
Enjoy while on the run
The exciting and yearly
Wonderful fair fun!

Poor Jealous Pooch
Oh please why don’t you pet me?
Don’t just pet the cat
I’m handsome and I’m loving
You can see just where I’m at
I know so many tricks you see
That cat could never do
If you’ll pay me some attention
I’ll give a slurp to you
I know that you would love me
If you’d just give it a try
So put that silly cat down
Or you’re gonna make me cry
I’m starting to get jealous
You really need to know
I’ll give you one more chance
Or I might just have to go!

School Photos from the Past
They loved the school activities
Took part and did it well
When you see old school photos
Instantly you can tell
Sports were top on their list
Of accomplishments to make
They had to keep their grades up
If sports they were to take
Don’t you love the pictures?
Though faded now with time
Young folks worked together
Created friendships that would bind
Memories are so precious here
That will forever last
So fun it is to view and enjoy
School photos from the past!
