READY! AIM! SMILE!



A friend reminded me recently of a little ditty we giggled about as children.  Perhaps it will take you back to some amusing time in your childhood:


“Old folks, young folks; everybody sing.


Daniel was a good man, but he did sass the king.


The king put him in a den with lions underneath;


But Daniel was a dentist, and he pulled the lions’ teeth.”


                                                           Anonymous


 


 


“A wise old owl sat in an oak.


The more he saw, the less he spoke.


The less he spoke, the more he heard.


Why can’t we be like that wise old bird?”


                                                           Richard Lederer in his book, The Gift of Age


 


 


“Last night I had a typical cholesterol-free dinner: baked squash, skimmed milk, and gelatin.  I’m sure this will not make me live any longer, but it’s going to seem longer.”


                                                           Groucho Marx


 


 


“Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up on enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.


                                                           General Douglas MacArhur
