Ben is nine
He is growing like a vine
Youngest child of mine
He is smart and smart and ....oh ya.....smart
Ben is tall
No longer small
No longer nervous bout playin' wall ball
He is smart and smart and .....oh ya....smart
Ben is wise
Strong for his size
Likes to catch flies
He is smart and smart and ..... oh ya....smart
Thank you Ben
For being Ben
For being
Ben
Love, Mom on your ninth birthday (in place of a quilt)

The Vulgar Bulgarian King
The vulgar Bulgarian king
He doesn't have a kingdom to rule
But he isn't lacking in subjects
He doesn't have a white horse to ride
but he always has a surreal car which runs
He isn't very intelligent
He just knows how to make people think that he is
Make people think he is everything
Everything ........ is king
What a laugh
He really is very ordinary
He pulls the wool over eyes
Cons men with beligerence
Cons women with lies
Don't con me anymore mister
Its not my thing
He doesn't have a kingdom to rule
But he isn't lacking in subjects

Make people think he is everything
Everything ........ is king
What a laugh
He really is very ordinary
He pulls the wool over eyes
Cons men with beligerence
Cons women with lies
Don't con me anymore mister
Its not my thing

Celestial Adventure
Last night, my husband woke me and the youngest child up at 3am and we went on a minivan excursion.
We went in search of the unobstructed NE sky.
It was a night of meteor showers in that direction.
But for heaven's sake (pun?) we could not find that part of the sky.
There are too many trees and hills near us and it was blocked from view.
We did see a young buck run across a street in front of us.
We did see lots of stars everywhere else.
After an hour, we came back home and went to sleep.
Thematically, a couple kids and I had gone to a NASA center to look at a museum and visiters' center yesterday. We saw a real Moon rock and the Mercury capsule that landed in 1960.
This morning, my oldest child told me that he and a couple friends had watched shooting stars from a field on the other side of the hills (the meteors!)

What ...........
is your favorite thing to do at the dentist office?
Read a magazine
Listen to the piped in music
Talk to the hygenist as she is prepping things to clean your teeth
Paying for services
Getting xrays
Having a filling done
LOL
I bet one of the first three things listed, probably not one of the last three

Azure Eyes
As I was walking
down a dirt pathway
I met a man
with azure eyes
His eyes sparkled
Intensity set
and
right then I knew
that we never should have met
It would soon be my demise
sighs and sighs and sighs and sighs
For there are emotions
to hard to resist
which halt all other motions
with a flick of the wrist
There are no magic potions
to escape the fine mist
of the azure eyes
of the hypnotist
Mmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmm

down a dirt pathway
