A homeless man liked to eat
Fried frog legs, because they
Tasted like chicken. And one
Day he ate so many that he
Became foundered on them,
Never wanting to eat frog
Legs again.

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.
Loss of a Pet
They were our friends and
Playful companions and
Were always loyal. Dogs
And cats were the most
Prevalent pets that had
These traits. But one
Day, or a period of time,
Our furry companion
Gets sick or gets an
Irreversible physical
Condition that can’t
Be fixed. Signs point
To time to say goodbye.
Life is a Poem
We live our life in
Many different ways
Mad, loving, lonely,
Sick, healthy, productive,
Frustrated. But we can turn
Coal into diamonds by living
Life as a poem anyway
Healer
She sees residents tirelessly
Throughout the week
Attending to their health and
Sickness problems
The nurse practitioner is the
Vital go between for resident
And doctor without her the
Physical needs of the residents
Would go unnoticed
