Children Writing About the Ocean......

Sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like Emily Richardson She's not my friend any more any more. Kyle age 6.

When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the
ocean. Sometimes when the wind didn't blow the sailors would whistle to
make the wind come. My brother said they would have been better off
eating beans. (William, age 7)

Mermaids live in the ocean. I like mermaids. They are beautiful and
I like their shiny tails, but how on earth do mermaids get pregnant?
Like, really? (Helen, age 6)

- Some fish are dangerous. Jellyfish can sting. Electric eels can
give you a shock. They have to live in caves under the sea where I think
they have to plug themselves in to chargers.
(Christopher, age 7)

On vacation my Mom went water skiing. She fell off when she was
going very fast. She says she won't do it again because water fired
right up her big fat a**.. (Julie, age 7)

The ocean is made up of water and fish. Why the fish don't drown
I don't know. (Bobby, age 6)

- My dad was a sailor on the ocean He knows all about the ocean.
What he doesn't know is why he quit being a sailor and married my mom.
(James, age 7)

Inspired by Jerry's story elsewhere:


"How's the wife?"
"In bed with laryngitis."
"Damn those Greeks!"

Forgetter Be Forgotten?
My forgetter's getting better,
But my rememberer is broke
To you that may seem funny
But, to me, that is no joke


For when I'm 'here' I'm wondering
If I really should be 'there'
And, when I try to think it through,
I haven't got a prayer!

Oft times I walk into a room,
Say 'what am I here for?'
I wrack my brain, but all in vain!
A zero, is my score.

At times I put something away
Where it is safe, but, Gee!
The person it is safest from
Is, generally, me!

When shopping I may see someone,
Say 'Hi' and have a chat,
Then, when the person walks away
I ask myself, 'who the heck was that?

Yes, my forgetter's getting better
While my rememberer is broke,
And it's driving me plumb crazy
And that isn't any joke.

CAN YOU RELATE???
I DON'T REMEMBER
WHO I SENTTHIS TO!

My Resume

1. My first job was working in an Orange Juice factory,
but I got canned. Couldn't concentrate.


2. Then I worked in the woods as a Lumberjack,
but just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the axe.

3 After that, I tried being a Tailor, but wasn't suited for it --
mainly because it was a sew-sew job.

4. Next, I tried working in a Muffler Factory, but
that was too exhausting.



5. Then, tried being a Chef--figured it would add a little spice
to my life, but just didn't have the thyme.



6. Next, I attempted being a Deli Worker, but any way I sliced it...
couldn't cut the mustard.

7. My best job was a Musician, but eventually found
I wasn't noteworthy.



8. I studied a long time to become a Doctor, but didn't
have any patience.



9. Next, was a job in a Shoe Factory. Tried hard but just didn't fit in.



10. Managed to get a good job working for a Pool Maintenance
Company, but the work was just too draining.



11. I became a Professional Fisherman, but discovered
I couldn't live on my net income.



12. So then I got a job in a Workout Center,
but they said I wasn't fit for the job.



13. After many years of trying to find steady work,
I finally got a job as a Historian - until I realized
there was no future in it.

14. My last job was working in Starbucks, but had to quit because
it was the same old grind.



15. Finally, I TRIED Retirement
AND FOUND I'M PERFECT FOR THE JOB!
