FROG AT THE BANK

 

FROG AT THE BANK

A frog goes into a bank and

Approaches the teller. He

Can see from her nameplate

That her name is Patricia

Whack.

"Miss Whack, I'd like to get

A $30,000 loan to take a

Holiday."

Patty looks at the frog in

Disbelief and asks his name.

The frog says his name is

Kermit Jagger, his dad is

Mick Jagger, and that it's

Okay, he knows the bank

Manager.

Patty explains that he will

Need to secure the loan with

Some collateral.

The frog says, "Sure. I have

This," and produces a tiny

Porcelain elephant, about an

Inch tall, bright pink and

Perfectly formed.

Very confused, Patty explains

That she'll have to consult

With the bank manager and

Disappears into a back office.

She finds the manager and

Says, "There's a frog called

Kermit Jagger out there who

Claims to know you and wants

To borrow $30,000, and he

Wants to use this as

Collateral."

She holds up the tiny pink

Elephant. "I mean, what in

The world is this?"

The bank manager looks back

At her and says.

♫ ♪"It's a knickknack, Patty

Whack. Give the frog a loan,

His old man's a Rolling

Stone." ♫ ♪ 

A True Georgia Peach

 Can't know the sweetness of a Georgia peach

'Less you take a bite of it's succulent flavor

Can't measure the sweetness of a Georgia girl

'Less you've known her priceless behavior

For some can't look into your eyes

But this one never left you in wonder

She spoke the truth, instead of lies

Told it like it was, no tales to ponder

With the face of a cherub that sometimes glowed

She'd smile and wrap you in her loving arms

You wouldn't let go of that feeling that flowed

That calms your fears and protects from harms

For 'neath it all was the heart of a champ

A born again Christian, a child of the king

No fairytale princess, no Hollywood vamp

She put Him first in everything

Her Mom and her Dad taught her what was right

And she loved them both to the end

She never strayed from the truth or the light

Her path was straight with no bend

She loved her Chris with a love so true

As only a southern girl can

She made him laugh, ne'er made him blue

She always stood by her man.

Her laughter's now heard in Heaven so fair

To share with those who've gone through the breach

We've  lost a dear heart and sweet breath of air

And Heave's gained a brand new peach.

Remembering Joyce Nail Cannon August 22, 2024

I Love You Still

 

I did love you, I love you still, and I always will

Though gone, you live within my heart, and you will ne’er depart

I love you Babe, I always will. Yes I always will…

Your sweet memory lives though we’re far apart

 

Though we’ll never laugh or love, as once we did

You are indelibly marked upon my heart

I am a shell of he who once did your every bid

The marks I bear are deeply etched and can ne’er be hid

 

Like footprints along the seashore of life

As we strolled together hand in hand

Lost in love throughout the strife

Throughout the trip along the strand

 

Life is swift and soon is past

Love’s eternal, and t’will never end

So hang your heart where it will last

Where eternal bonds will ‘ere transcend.
