Ashley Allen 2009

ashley Allen.
It is now sixteen years you have been in existence
Congrats for going that long distance.
You are a fabulous cousin to me
in fact, you make me want to flee..
To utah that is.. to the great Pleasant Grove
to sing for you this interesting ode.

However, it seems that that cannot happen

So i will sit here impatiently tappin’

For that wonderful time when we will be reacquainted

When we will sit on a bench newly painted

That may seem weird to most

So maybe i’ll just give you a toast

To all the good times we’ve had

Like playing games with your mother’s dad,

Or going to grandma’s packed with a trunk

Laughing to hard people thought we were drunk

You sure are extremely witty

I bet you have choked on a cherry pitty

But that doesn’t matter now

For you are still cooler than a cow

As you know, you are quite wise

Unless it is all an evil disguise

But I suppose I would have to forgive you

Because I have sat with you in a canoe

But most importantly because it is your birthday so great

I will leave you alone to partake of your cake

16 candles, what a treat

That is way better than soggy wheat!

AHH! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLEY!!! I love you!! 

That one day in sunday school 2009

An ode to all of those in a certain Sunday School Class:
Bring on the Trials
and Bring on the smiles
Once that is done
You're life will be full of fun

Just break the “I want to be miserable” fad

And see that life isn’t that bad

You can go find a believer

Who will think you are an over-achiever

Tell him to do the same

So happiness he can claim

Don’t feel sorry for yourself

That’s a first class ticket to bad health

Instead, put on a hat

And say, hey I can conquer that!

Go out and do something strange

Like make pickles out on the range

You don’t want to be like Bill

Who has no life experiences to kill

Go out and find a job

Then you will be more like Bob

I don’t know where this is going

It seems my mind is slowing

That’s the end of this rhyme

I’ll try again another time
Just break the "I want to be miserable" fad
and see that life isn't that bad
You can go find a believer
who will think you are an over-achiever
tell him to do the same
so happiness he can claim
don't feel sorry for yourself
that's a first class ticket to bad health
Instead, put on a hat
and say, "Hey, I can conquer that!"
Go out and do something strange
like make pickles out on the range
You don't want to be like Bill
Who has no life experiences to kill
Go out and find a job
then you will be more like Bob
I don't know where this is going
it seems my mind is slowing
that's the end of this rhyme
i'll try a
