I've thought every now and again,
This Italian, who went to some pain,
Did all of his work,
For title and perk
And glory and wealth of old Spain.
--- Chris Papa

And so it is fitting today,
To note in a non-PC way,
If the figures are right,
The time is in sight,
When Hispanics, here will hold sway.
--- Chris Papa

When that comes, I'm willing to bet,
Besides change in language, we'll get,
To cancel out Chris,
Just so we won't miss
The Ponce De Leon Offset.
--- Chris Papa

Easter's coming next week, do you care?
Are you planning to go to the Fair,
And eat all those homemade
Pies, cakes, and marmalade,
And find goodies from that old hare?
--- Ystap TP9804

Easter bunnies are known to be rare
If the feast's held in March, and a hare
Has few spring days to mate...
But this year Easter's late --
There'll be bunnies galore, everywhere!
--- Prof M-G TP9804

If this Sunday you sit on your keister
'Round the table to enjoy a feaster,
Please in some special way
Have a very nice day,
And to you may I say "Happy Easter!"
--- Anon

So why are you calling, you creep;
It's Easter, I'm trying to sleep.
So unless your a rabbit
With a chocolate habit,
Leave your name at the sound of the beep.
--- MrMalo

If you are a rabbit, I swear,
You must have a magical pair.
Let's meet in the kitchen
With your beauties a-drippin',
I'll lick the milk chocolate from there.
--- Audrey

It really hasn't been very funny
To fall head over heels for a bunny.
I'm afraid that my bind
May cost me my mind,
All I think of's soft chocolate and honey.
--- Audrey

My sad story doesn't end there;
My dream disappeared in thin air.
Now I know that she's
La Belle Dame sans Merci,
And she's gone with her soft chocolate pears.
--- Audrey

Your milk chocolate is so delicious
And it's also very nutritious.
Please give me a treat
Outside in the street,
And we'll shock the ultra-fastidious.
--- Audrey

Oh! Easter! The bliss and the singing,
The church-bells a-donging and dinging.
But the hymns not the thing
That makes my mind sing.
No! It's the CHOCOLATE the Rabbit is bringing!
--- Anon

I wish you a good holiday,
With laughter and loving and play.
With family around,
Good cheer will abound.
Enjoy yourself, that's what I say.
--- Marlene Lewis

From Joanna, your most loyal fan ---
The daughter of one truly great man:
I've been very proud;
You stand out in a crowd;
You're the Dad with matchless elan.
--- Dick Hull

Although I am not a Peruvi, (Peruvian)
I think a parade is just groovy.
But even Scorsese
Would think it is crazy
To name a day after a movie.

(Fourth of July - alien invasion movies of 2005)
--- Lightbulb

It might seem quite corny to say,
(In special millennial way),
Though problems I see,
It's still great to be
Right here in the U.S. of A.
--- Chris Papa

Today, the old flag I'll display,
My sarcasm will be put away,
And in a voice clear,
To all who would hear,
Wish our land a Happy Birthday.
--- Chris Papa

Ignite your bright fireworks tonight
With proud independent delight!
To make some amends,
American friends,
I honour your freedom and might.
--- Nick

Two hundred and thirty years spanned?
I no longer think that's so grand.
In just one decade
I will have made
A third of the age of this land!
--- John Miller

Well, Johnny, I'm not one to gloat,
Nor intimate you're an old goat,
And the reason, my friend,
I'll not condescend,
Is that we both are in the same boat.
--- Observer

Your age, fellows, I'm not quite matching,
But up with you fast I am catching.
But it's good to enfold
Gals fifty years old,
And feel that you're still cradle-snatching.
--- Tiddy Ogg

This year we are having it thrice;
In eight weeks we are having it twice.
If you're superstituous,
'98's inauspicious!
Be careful, don't walk on thin ice!
--- John Miller

Though she quite often walks and makes jokes,
Her volunteer work helps other folks!
And at Mass each day,
You may hear her pray
That her golf game improves by four strokes.
--- Dick Hull

So Mom, on this special birthday,
We're all here to toast you and say:
Go play eighteen holes
And reach all your goals,
But stay as nice as you are here today.
--- Dick Hull

The second of Feb, Groundhog Day,
Punxsutawney of Penn. had his say.
In the future he seeks
For another six weeks,
Will Winter keep Springtime away.
--- Mul

Of Parliament, Guy Fawkes was no member,
So he plotted to kindle an ember.
On his first bonfire night,
Guy forgot to ignite...
But remembers now every November.
--- Prof M-G T9711

Happy Hiroshima Day!
The "bomb" will keep bad guys at bay.
This weapon of terror
Makes warfare an error.
(Some folks don't quite see it that way.)
--- John Miller

I know some folks question that line;
They say 'twas immoral, a crime.
But in sixty years, brother,
There's not been another.
I'd say the deterrent worked fine.
--- Joe Long

Nukes don't deter war, it's true;
A fact that most all of us rue.
But the fact that we used 'em,
Showed all just how gruesome,
'Twould be, if one came down our flue.
--- Joe Long

Happy Hiroshima Day!
I'm sorry the world went that way.
But now it's too late,
So I'll celebrate
With some booze and a good hearty lay.
--- John Miller

Happy Hiroshima Day!
Six decades have passed since that fray.
But still I recall
My joy at the fall
Of those nasty Nip nuts far away.
--- John Miller

Happy Hiroshima Day!
To the crew of the Enola Gay.
It's really a pity
That you got the wrong city;
Is should have been Bradford, UK.
--- John Miller

The crew of the Enola Gay
Just couldn't bomb Bradford, UK.
Though richly deserved,
'Twas too far to be served.
The same as New York or LA.
--- John Miller

This is file fnm

The crew of the Enola Gay
Must have bombed Bradford, UK.
It wasn't their goal
To blow up this hole,
But it does look much better today.
--- David Miller

The Enola Gay crew said, "Hey Sarge!
How'd they afford a bomb that's so large?"
"Protons cost a quarter,
So we made it shorter.
And the neutrons we got "free of charge".
--- David Miller

Two boyos while slaking their thirst
Wondered who first would be cursed
On St Patrick's day,
To stay home and play
With the kiddies and eat till he burst.
--- Anon

A day off from work, Easter Sunday,
And Presidents' Day's on a Monday,
And birthdays, like King's,
July the Fourth flings,
And now there's Attila the Hun Day.
--- Travis Brasell

We have some days off to remember,
And Christmas, of course, in December;
There's also Thanksgiving,
And days just for living.
And New Year's to drink and get limber.
--- Travis Brasell

We've Halloween, Flag Day and more,
Like Valentine's Day to adore
Our "Loves"; then there's Mother's
And Father's Days; others
Like Hanukkuh, Kwanza, and four
--- Travis Brasell

More holidays added each year,
Along with our 'sick days' (oh dear);
We 'Merkins' pay tax
And need to relax,
So give us an "Off Day," ya hear"
--- Travis Brasell

Retirement's a wonderful thing
When the bell for the last time does ring.
And then sure enough,
We get every day off,
And life really goes with a swing!
--- Tony Burrell

One hand bestows the holidays,
While the other hand takes them away;
There ain't no lunch free --
Mandatory O.T. (overtime)
In the long run, sees to it we pay!
--- Dr Limerick

I think it is needed to say,
In salute on this Mother's Day,
A time for our, "Thanks",
To those in their ranks,
Who help our old world on its way.
--- Chris Papa

How ironic that Mom passed away
On this bright sunny warm Mother's Day.
Now I can love Mother
As I love no other:
She'd be so proud to know I'm not gay!
--- John Miller 0327

They nuture with infinite care,
Are Love with a countenance fair,
Protect and give aid,
Fix messes we've made,
And show equanimity rare.
--- Chris Papa

They're sirens of sweet Mercy's call,
And ;help us get up when we fall,
They toil without pause,
Are jewels, because,
Without them, we're nothing at all!
--- Chris Papa

I tell you the crabby old witch
Is a regular naggin' old bitch.
The smelly old critter
Is twisted and bitter.
I wish she would drown in a ditch.
--- PeterW

Springtime means one thing for sure:
Another Mother's Day gift to endure.
"It's the thought," I remind,
But what thought's behind
A truckload of topsoil and manure?
--- Latte Lady

My mother-in-law is a cow;
And I know it's not Mother's Day now.
But is there a reason
The mom-in-law season
Should last just a day, anyhow?
--- PeterW

For forty years Joe's led the band,
Done trips, parades and concerts grand;
Four decades of teens
Know what music means;
A record we hope will always stand.
--- Dick Hull

Retirement is not a time to mourn
Or a day to speak a lot of corn.
For our music man,
'Tis a time to plan,
But it's also a time to toot your horn!
--- Dick Hull

I'm so glad to have you all here --
And to have Dick's retirement near.
He has had his say,
So this is my way
To make his new life very clear!
--- Dick Hull

In Cyprus we'll have our own pool.
So picture Dick playing it cool:
With sunglasses on,
A sportshirt he'll don,
Yes, life will be horribly cruel!
--- Dick Hull

However, 'cause a pool must be clean.
Our retiree must keep it pristine.
He'll relax until
He learns a new skill;
He will wield a mean vacuum machine.
--- Dick Hull

So while Dick makes the pool water pure,
I can go out for my manicure.
Yes, our warm new life
Will charm Dick's wife
And now has a double allure!
--- Dick Hull

Thanksgiving is over -- Hooray!
Soon it will be Christmas day.
And then New Years Eve,
'Fore Valentines we've
Got more holidays on the way.
--- Ardens

For the Irish, we've got St. Pat,
Then Easter -- what do you think of that?
Memorial
July 4th full
Of fireworks and sparkly hats.
--- Arden

Labor day? We've got it made.
Columbus? He gets a parade.
Don't be a meanie
Next Halloweeny,
When goblins your houses invade.
--- Arden

I see we both share the same creed;
Less week and more weekend, we need.
A holiday each week
And we'll have, so to speak,
A good beginning on heaven, indeed.
--- Azul

As we celebrate Veteran's Day,
Right here in the U. S. of A.
Let us not forget
That we're in their debt,
For the ultimate price some did pay.
--- Carol

Folks hating folks make me grin;
They may be nice people within.
But we don't need Walpurgis;
The truth it should urge us;
We're all skeletons, covered with skin.
--- Anon

To the parents whose bundle of joy
Caused elation that's not at all coy:
We all give a cheer
And toast you right here,
As you welcome your new little boy.
--- Dick Hull

She's a beauty and surely a pearl,
Your new bundle of love all a-curl.
We send our congrats,
And take off our hats
To the folks with their new baby girl!
--- Dick Hull

And now that you're parents, don't weep
But allow us a thought very deep:
We say, Mom and Dad
Please do not be sad,
But it's weeks 'til that first good night's sleep!
--- Dick Hull

Hannah, have the best birthday ever;
I hope you're a great friend forever.
We're two weeks apart,
Which is a good start,
For a friendship we cannot sever!
--- Dick Hull

She is funny, kindhearted and proud.
And we gather to cheer her out loud!
'Cause our fair lady
This day is eighty --
With a life that's been richly endowed.
--- Dick Hull

As your birthday is the twenty-first,
You can say today you rehearsed.
And tonight it's fine
To drink more wine;
In your honor, we slake our thirst.
--- Dick Hull
