Paradise is behind that door,
In the next room–but I have
Lost the key. I hope I have
Only mislaid it.

The Magician
Our next door neighbor was a
Kindly elderly man who told
Us he was a retired magician.
He would gladly come over
When invited for dinner. And
He would amaze our youngest
Daughter with magic tricks.
One evening he told us this
May be the last time he
Would be able to make it
Over–he had an incurable
Disease and would soon
Perform the ultimate
Disappearing act.
Neighbor
One morning we looked out
Our window and saw moving
Vans unloading furniture and
Boxes into the house next
Door. Being nosy, I walked up
To one of the movers and
Asked if he knew who was
Moving into this house next
Door. He looked at me,
Paused, and said Sylvester
Stallone. I said you’re pulling
My leg, right? Why would he
Want to live in a little house
Like this? Then a Mercedes
Pulled up and Stallone, after
Quick introductions, said
We’re going to shoot a movie
In this house. Then my wife
Fainted.
Little Oriental Housekeeper
Emi comes in my room
Every day smiling, and
She always has a
Method for cleaning
That she follows. Emi
Moves to the next room
Until she is finished for
The day. The rooms
Always look spotless
After she is finished.
I’m glad to have Emi.
She is such a hard and
Reliable worker.
Love
Love is in everything
That builds up, not
Tears down. It accepts
All of the person, the
Flaws as well as the
Good points. This is
What makes love love.
It’s the most powerful
Force in the universe.
Like the great teacher
Said, love the person
Next to you as yourself.
