THE OLD FLY SWATTER

Granny rocked on the porch

With her old fly swatter,

And she did something bad,

She really hadn’t ought-er!

 

A fly had landed on Pappy’s head,

And when she spied where it was at,

Granny flicked the fly swatter

With a mighty KER-SPLATT!

 

Old Pappy jumped up and said,

“Why’d you hit me on my head?”

“You disturbed my nap

And that poor creature is dead!”

 

“Old man,” Granny said,

“Beware, this is true,”

“I wasn’t aiming at the fly,

I aimed to hit you!”   😊

OLE’ PAPPY AND HIS SNAPPY

OLE’ PAPPY AND HIS SNAPPY

Ole’ Pappy lost his snappy,

He was as tired as a dog,

He took a long, long nappy,

And slept like a log,

 

Then, he saw a lovely lady,

She gave him a sweet smile!

Then, Ole’ Pappy thought maybe

He could run for miles and miles!

 

Yes, Pappy regained his snappy,

And got pep back in his step,

He felt as handsome and happy

As a youthful Johnny Depp!

 

The lesson, albeit sappy:

Please think a little while,

One day, you may be like Pappy,

And simply need a sweet smile!  😊
