April Pollock 2011


 Your birthday: at last it has finally come,
How many have you had? It seems to be a great sum.
In other words, i'm saying you're old..
but that is something you dont have to be told!
You can figure that one out all by yourself...
20 is old... even if you are an elf!
But alas, that is something you are not
Unless you’re in hiding, trying not to be caught!
That would be funny... and I would still be your friend
To your rescue, myself I would send!
The moment of truth, it needs to be now!
Are you really an elf? Or maybe a cow?!
Haha just kidding, those things I don’t think!
But what I do know is that you love PINK!
April, you’re awesome and really smart!
Something that’s big is definitely your heart!!
Dang gorgeous is something you ALWAYS are..
And I love dancing with you in the car!
Happy Birthday, girl! I love you lots!
Even more than Sonic’s tater tots!
Have a good day, eat lots of cake..
Celebrate with lots of people, jump in a lake!
Or don't... because you can do whatever you want!
If it's your desire, be a debutant!
That could be funny,
You could make some money..
But whatever, just have a great day!
Let nothing stand in the way!

Cori Thomas 2011


Cori my beautiful, your birthday has come
Now that you're 16, GO GET SOME!
Just kidding, I don't approve of that advice
I don't want you to end up living with mice!
That didn't make any sense, but that's okay...
BECAUSE IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY!!!   
Don’t forget to party hard and live it up
Eat lots of cakes and drink from a cup...
Make it fun and keep it real.
I’ll even let you know how I feel     
You’re the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen
When it comes to talents, you’re the queen
I miss you lots and that’s a fact
It’s being in your presence I feel lately I have lacked
You’re the best and always make me smile
You’re closer to my heart than stomach bile
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO AN AMAZING COUSIN
I LOVE YOU A LOT... TIMES FOUR DOZEN!

Tara Allen 2009


Tara Velate! Oh Tara Velate!

I bet you didn't think your birthday rhyme would come this late!
So, now at the time when you're least expecting
Gather all your roommates round and and start to sing
For it is not everyday that you turn 19 and 2 months!
If you were in Arizona I would buy you a package of runts
But in Utah you are with all it’s cold glory                                                                     I want to fly to you.. but no.. I'm stuck on the Arizona floory
 Tara. I love you and that’s no lie   
I love it when we go to Thanksgiving and eat lots of pie                                             
 Reunions and cousins weekends are great                                                                          
 And I just can’t wait to take pictures on that graffitied freight  
 Now happy 19 and 2 month anniversary of birth                                                                         
To my wonderful cousin of great worth!

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

For JANNAE 2009

Jannae oh Jannae.
You're name kinda rhymes with "Iwanna eat hay."
You are so cool
Sometimes it leaves me to drool
Although sometimes you make me eat rotten fruit
You don’t need to worry because I don’t act like a brute
There once was a day that you almost died
Melissa and I wanted to dump down and cry,
It was a weight machine that almost broke your spine
But you never even sounded out a whine
Sometimes we go on adventures
Like we will when we are old with dentures
Last week we went to a baseball game so grand
but you wouldn’t even hold my hand
Sometimes when you talk about poop
I just want to leave the room and throw up my soup
but I don’t.. simply because
You’re wittier than I ever was
You my friend are super funny
We will soon go to the diamondbacks game to find your honey.
That is the end. This is goodbye.
