This page is dedicated to the woman I love!!!

What's the best way to have fun?
What else, but chasing a bug on the run!

I hate it when they stay outside.
I can't move the screen even though it slides.

If I'm patient, someone opens the door.
And if I'm lucky, they'll land on the floor.

There is no bug that escapes from me.
Fly, run, or jump - there's no safety.

There are several that try to climb the wall.
But, sooner or later they take a fall.

The game's not over when they hit the ground.
Because it's great fun to chase them around.

I swat 'em, and bat 'em, and flick 'em in the air.
But I mustn't kill them so I try to take care.

As the giants watch they like to laugh.
They seem to enjoy my little dance.

I ignore them, unless they get in the way.
Because right now's my time to play.

But what's the deal, the bug's slowing down.
It's no longer jumping, just flopping around.

Let me inspect it and get a little closer.
Oops! I squished it! I guess the game's over!

Hope you got my card, Kelli Marie,
Just something cheesy, to you, from me;

You know for any holiday or reason,
I must send you a card that fits the season;

And what's more from time to time,
You even get a silly, little rhyme;

So, enjoy Thanksgiving with the family,
And don't forget to say Hi! for me!!

Spanish class on Monday
I arrive ready to learn
But only ten minutes later
I'm ready to crash and burn

The teacher counts off every minute
Attendance is a must
I need to show up every class
Or my grade could bite the dust

Even when I'm rested
Sleep comes creeping in
An hour and a half to go
And the teacher just won't bend

I'm afraid the machine was broken
So there's no caffeine
And if I fall asleep again
The teacher will get mean

Now there's one more hour
But how can that be
Even with a small break
There is no help for me

I must stay awake
But it's very hard to do
I have to pay attention
Or my grade is down the tubes

Down to thirty minutes
My eyes are nearly closed
A minute is eternal
And again I start to doze

The class is nearly over
But we're not there yet
I have to be coherent
To learn what's on the test

There's only two more minutes
I swear I must be dead
Or if not, I soon will be
Unless I find a bed

I missed the next assignment
But now no longer care
Because as a last resort
I'm pulling at my hair

I think the teacher's stopped
The end is finally here
I think it's time to celebrate
And go and drink some beer

Happy New Year!
Kelli Marie
I hope you got all that you wanted
Under the tree

The new year is here
It's a brand new start
And I plan to love you
With all of my heart

Put worry aside
There's no need to fuss
Because this January
Will be different for us

Indecision is gone
My love is true
What's left is to plan
My future with you

There are so many things
To do and to say
But no need to rush it
We'll go day by day

Happy New Year!
Kelli Marie
And here's to the future
With you and with me

To my Valentine
Kelli Marie
A short little poem
To say I Love Thee

It's our second Valentine's
That we're celebrating
And exactly three years
Since we've been dating

The Year 2000
Has been a new start
And since it's Valentine's
I give you my heart

Life goes so fast
But at least days like this
Make us slow down a little
Before the little things, we miss

To my Valentine
Kelli Marie
And to more moments
With just you and me

Here's a clover
For Kelli Marie
It signifies the luck
That she brings to me

When things look bad
When things go wrong
I have her smile
To turn me on

There are only
Two things that I want
The only things
I'd ever flaunt

One is Kelli's
Love for me
It fills my soul
Powerfully

The other is happines
For my honey
A smile like hers
Can't be bought with money

So take this clover
Kelli Marie
And All My Love
To you from me
