An Author

I began to imagine it.
I sat down to outline it.
Now I can write it.
Then I have to revise it.
I'll make sure to edit it.
Now I can post it.
Be sure to blog it.
Then I can submit it.
I won't forget to query it.
It's time to send it.
They're going to publish it.
Now I'm ready to sell it.
All my friends will buy it.
They'll love to read it.
Now I believe it.
I AM AN AUTHOR!

Clever Grocer ?

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

Danny Loves To Read


 Danny burst to the kitchen. "I got to go, mom."
"Where are you going, son?"
"I'm off to the library," Danny replied.
"They have the summer reading program."
Danny's eyes lit up as soon he walked in.
He is greeted by the librarian in the children section.
"I'm looking for a great book," Danny declared.
Ms. Dean directed Danny over to the picture book area.
Danny searched shelf after shelf for a special book.
Buddy came along carrying a handful of books.
"Check out the fairy tale section," said Buddy.
"You'll find some classics."
"Great books indeed," Danny said.
"But I am looking for a book to inspire me."
Danny walked over to the next aisle.
Cathy strolled by carrying a bag full of books.
"You should get a Dr. Seuss book."
"They are great books indeed," Danny said.
"But I am looking for something that is inspirational."
Danny scanned the non-fiction area.
Wally stood nearby with his stack of books.
"You should get a book on sharks," Wally suggested.
"Great idea," Danny agreed.
"But I need a book to enlighten me."
Danny continued to search every aisle.
Pete walked past carrying a cart full of books.
"Try the poetry section," Pete suggested.
"A great selection to choose from."
"All the poem books are great," Danny admitted.
"But I need a book that will motivate me."
Danny decided to check out the new release section.
"There it is!" Danny announced.
