Step Right Up
My wife and I aren't showy, vain folk,
We're caution people, safe-and-sane folk.
So when there's need around our house
To mount a ladder, my good spouse
And I, with care and well-planned scheme, work
Together in long-practiced teamwork.
To make quite certain nothing's wrong,
We check each step, make sure it's strong,
And level legs so they are steady.
At last, when everything is ready,
Since I know how, a skilled old-timer,
I hold the ladder she's the climber.

Quips and Quotes
The little boy had only one ambition in
life. He wanted to grow up to be center
fielder for the New York Yankees. "Oh,
heavens," said his mother in disgust one
day, "you are going to be much more im
portant than a major-league baseball
player. I want you to grow up to be Presi
dent of the United States!"
The elderly widow was going
to visit her son and daughter-in-law,
and it was her first air
plane flight Throughout the
trip she sat perched nervously
on the edge of the seat When
her son greeted her at the air
port, he asked how she enjoyed
the trip.
"It was very nice," she said.
Then in a confidential whisper,
she added: "Of course, I never
let all my weight down."
Jack Stoner
Something Fishy
Fishy, fishy in the brook,
Daddy caught him with a hook.
Also with a line, I'll bet,
And rod and reel and lure and net
Which added up in figures round
Makes him cost five bucks a pound.
Suzanne Douglass
To please his mother, the boy went along
with the idea until a few days later when
a visiting uncle asked him if he knew
what he wanted to be as a grownup.
"I've thought it over," the youngster
replied, "and I've decided to play center
field for the Yankees and in the off sea
son to be President of the United States."

With George Washington's
birthday approaching, the first
grade teacher planned an ap
propriate history exercise. She
started out with a question.
"First can anybody tell us who
George Washington was?"
From the back of the room
came a firm answer. "Sure, he
was the first Kennedy."
Sarah Jennings
"I'm afraid this is good-bye, darling
tomorrow we're moving to the third floor."
Calculated Risk
The doctors all say that a great deal of wealth,
Plus too little to do, isn't good for the health;
It's much worse than smoking or improper diet,
Which well may be true but I'd sure love to try it!
