Visit The Zoo


The alarm goes off and up comes the sun.
It's time to get ready, to have some fun.
You get out of bed and what do you do?
You go on a trip, to visit the zoo.
You go through the gate and what do you see?
The tiger is on the prowl and a lemur is on the tree.
You look at the elephant and the meerkats too.
See the black bear and the flamingos in view.
Koalas are pretty cute and the baboon is on the go.
Sea lions are swimming and the turtles are slow.
You spy on the gator and the gorilla on the grass.
You stare at the snake and the fish behind the glass.
Zebra makes you dizzy and the rhino's sitting down.
Monkey is with a baby and the lion is wearing a frown.
You spot a wild leopard and the lizard on the ground.
You find a gray goat and the cougar running around.
The cheetah goes fast and the jackals can run.
The puma's on the move and otter's having fun.
You follow the weasel and the big horn sheep.
You come across a fox and the panda's asleep.
Watch the penguins walk and all the birds fly.
Notice the kangaroos and the bats hanging high.
Hippo's in the water and the giraffe is really tall.
Ostrich is eating and there's a pony in the stall.
You have seen all the animals, in your visit at the zoo.
We hope you had fun and learned something new.
It's time to go home, we'd love to see you again.
We hope you come back and bring along a friend.

SMILE


Let's get up and go,
Share a smile and say hello.
Don't stop till the day is done,
Tell all your friends this is fun.
Take a walk across the street.
Greet everyone that you meet.
Wear a smile like the sun.
Show the world how it's done.
Wave your hand in the air.
Show the people everywhere.
You are there to say Hi.
To everyone you pass by.
Treat them all like a friend.
Lend a hand when you can.
You will find it's really true.
It's the right thing to do.
So let's get up and go.
Share a smile and say hello.
Don't stop till the day is done.
Tell all your friends this is fun.

MY VALENTINE


I'll send you a card,
and write you a letter.
I'll bring you some hugs,
to make it even better.
I'll make you some tea
and cook your favorite food.
Set up a candle lit dinner,
for a romantic mood.
We'll cuddle on the couch,
and watch some TV.
And in this fondest moment,
you lean in and kiss me.
We'll sit on the patio,
and watch the sunset.
I'll recite you a poem,
from the moment we met.
When the night draws near,
we'll go for a walk.
We'll stroll by the beach,
where we'll sit and talk.
In the light of the night,
under the shining moon.
I'll take you in my arms,
and sing you a tune.
We'll lie on the sand,
and scan the night sky.
Make a wish on a star,
before it goes by.
When the night is over,
we'll hold each other tight.
We have one long kiss,
before we say good night.

Let's Exercise



So are you ready to get fit?
Do you have the time to commit?
Exercise is easy, it can be done.
It's a work out and it's really fun.
If you stumble now and then.
Just get back up and start again.
Choose one exercise that suits you.
There is so much that you can do.
Aerobics, ballet and dance too.
Even a treadmill to name a few.
Go for a jog or get on a bike.
Play some tennis or go on a hike.
You don't have to run a race.
You can go at your own pace.
Stretch a little bit, followed by a swim.
You can use weights to stay trim.
Head to the gym and kick up your feet.
You can do it with rhythm and beat.
They tell you it's healthy and fun.
Whether you walk, skip or run.
You can exercise an hour each day.
Bring along a friend and start today.
No more excuses, it's time to commit.
Set yourself a goal and just do it.

A clever salesman ?


Chuck owns a grocery store.
He put up a sign on the window,
'Tomatoes 25 cents a piece, three for a dollar.'
The first customer walked in and complained.
"That's not fair!" the young lady said.
"I should get four tomatoes for a dollar."
Chuck quickly apologized and provided the
customer, four tomatoes for a dollar.
The second customer walked in
and made a big fuss about it.
"That sign can't be right" he said,
"it should be four instead of three"
Chuck agreed with the old man and
sold him four tomatoes for a dollar.
Chuck's friend, Doug stood nearby
and watched the whole episode.
He pulled Chuck aside.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" Doug asked.
"You should correct the mistake on the sign."
"What mistake?" Chuck bellowed.
"Before the sign was up," Chuck said. 
"customers only bought one tomato."

Eggy loves to read.



Eggy burst into the kitchen, 
he darted past his mother.
"Where are you going, son?"
"I'm off to the library," Eggy replied. 
"Today starts the summer reading program."
Eggy is greeted at the door by the librarian.
"I'm looking for a special book,"
Eggy declared. The librarian
directed him to the picture book area.
Eggy searched through shelf after shelf
for a great book. Buddy came along
carrying a handful of books.
"Check out the fairy tale section." said Buddy. 
"They are all classics." 
"Great books indeed," Eggy said.
"But I'm looking for a new book to inspire me."
Eggy walked over to the next aisle and
scanned the whole section.
Cathy strolled by carrying 
a bag full of books.
"You should get a book about a cat that sings,"
Cathy suggested. "It's going to be a classic."
"Great book," Eggy agreed. 
"But I'm looking for something that is inspirational."
Eggy went over to the non-fiction area.
Wally stood nearby and greeted his friend.
"Get a book about sharks," Wally suggested.
"The photos are awesome."
"They are great," Eggy answered.
"But I need a book to enlighten me."
Eggy continued to search down every aisle.
Pete walked past carrying a stack of books.
"Try the poetry section," Pete suggested. 
" There is a great collection of poems to choose."
"Poetry is great," Eggy agreed.
"But I'm looking for a book to motivate me."
Eggy decided to check out the new released section.
He browsed through the whole area and his eyes lit up.
He caught a glimpse on a brand new book written by Henry. 
"There it is!" Eggy cried. "The book I want to read."
It's Henry's first published book, 'THE INNER LIGHT.'
Buddy, Cathy, Pete, Wally & Eggy recommend Henry's book.
