Miss Kayla Wiggins
She is cute as a button
And smart as a whip
When you visit Kayla
Such joy you will get
She’s curious and busy
Sometimes she just sits
But if you listen carefully
You’ll hear adorable quips
“Not now Mom, ” she says
When mom wants a hug
You just want to grab her
She’s cute as a bug
She likes little statues
Like a turtle and alligator
And little green frogs
That she also adores

A Good Horse Laugh
It looked like an abandoned house
No windows or any doors
Just gapping holes instead
And worn wooden floors
But nestled within the walls
Were friends who lived in there
They moved right in and then
With the facilities they would share
Lucky was one fellow’s name
He was friendly as you please
He had a sense of humor too
And loved to taunt and tease
He coaxed his shy buddy out
And we chatted back and forth
Such charming personalities
I enjoyed this world of horse

Oklahoma Clouds
The clouds in Oklahoma send
So many messages to me
You don’t need to watch for weather
On the weather channel on TV
You see their puffy whiteness
And you know right at a glance
For now there is no rain in sight
Not even a slight chance
They gather all together and make
A picture in the sky
At times they are so beautiful that
They make me want to cry
And then, my friend, we get
A sky of a sooty black
A storm of new dimensions
Is about to make an attack

The Spicy Pickle
I wanna tell you about a place
That’s very special to me
It’s called The Spicy Pickle
They serve food so deliciously
There’s salads, soups & sandwiches
With flavors of such delight
You can go there for lunch
Or dinner t’wards the night
They have little crusty pizzas
With what fixins’ you desire
Oh yes, they serve the food
That folks never ever tire
But the very best to me is
The ‘build your own’ meal
So many things to choose from
What a delightful deal

Country Cuisine
Have you ever come across an eating place
That serves outstanding cuisine?
Well, at Fay, Oklahoma we found
An eating place that could serve a Queen
The flavors are absolutely delicious
Just simple ordinary country food
You could even take picky eaters there
You walk in and you are in the mood
To try each and every dish that you see
On the tables and on the menu
Because these folks’ know how to cook
The most wonderful food for you
So if you pass by Fay, Oklahoma, my friend
Want a meal with the best dessert you’ve seen
Stop by and have a taste
Of the most exceptional country cuisine!

Icy Homestead
While driving through the icy land
I came across an old homestead
Stark empty was its insides
Didn’t have a single table or bed
It was really sad to see it
Looking so lost and forlorn
Absorbed in lacy iciness
Old curtains that had long been torn
Oh the stories that it could tell
Going back so many years
I could just see the families
Growing through happiness and tears
On I went to the buildings
Where winter had grabbed hold
Oh look, there’s a cow out there
Maybe life will yet unfold

Cuddly Animals and Spring flowers
Nothing brings more cheer into the world
Than a spring full of joyful flowers
After a cold and dreary winter we have
Warm and refreshing showers
Pair it with sweet cuddly animals
For you know what else comes in spring?
Easter is coming and we all share a smile
Because of what this time of year will bring
Little furry chicks and Easter lilies
We use them as delightful décor
We have this to look forward to
After winter has pounded at our door
So put that smile upon your face
And enjoy those fresh spring showers
Get ready to decorate your home, folks
With cuddly animals and spring flowers!

Arches National Park
It’s a miracle to see when you travel
The exciting terrain across the land
Sprouting up from nowhere like statues
Brilliant rock from Mother Nature’s hand
This summer my vacation was dotted
With rock so magnificently strong
The color that continues to amaze me
Snapping pictures as I travel along
Arches National Park is so shocking
For you cannot even imagine the look
Enormous rock with such stunning colors
Like fantasy from a child’s story book
You look up with eyes wide with wonder
Questioning what happened and when
For it’s a place you’ll truly want to see
Over and over again!

Your Pink Cloud
There was an old saying a long time ago
When your life was at a place
That was absolutely perfect
No unhappiness could you trace
Perhaps you had fallen madly in love
For the very first time
Your search was now over
No one else would you find
But you were on a pink cloud
Be cautious you were told
This was uncertain happiness
The kind you never will hold
And then, guess what happened
My poor unsuspecting friend
It was like a swift river
That flowed ‘round the bend

My Sweet Violets
They are coming up in my gardens
Why, just like wild flowers they grow
A delicious early spring splash of color
That’s why I really love them so
They are pale as a spring violet can be
A lavender color they are
Tiny with a fragrance so special
The best early flower by far
They always infuse with my landscape
I love the perfect way that they blend
With other flowers like blue Forget-me-not’s
And when finished tiny seeds they send
I do so enjoy my flowers in spring
I even pick them for a wonderful bouquet
I wish you could visit my gardens as well
I’d serve you sweet tea without any delay!
