A Joke

 A COUPLE went to breakfast at a restaurant where the “seniors' special” was two Eggs, Bacon, Hash Browns, and Toast for $2.99.

“Sounds good,” the wife said…“but I don't want the eggs..”

“Then, I'll have to charge you $3.49 because you're ordering a la carte,”…the waiter warned her.

“You mean I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?”…the wife asked incredulously.

“YES!”… stated the waiter.

“I'll take the special then,”…the wife said..

“Great…how do you want your eggs?“…the waiter asked.

“Raw and in the shell,”…the wife replied.

She took the two eggs home and baked a cake.

DON'T MESS WITH SENIORS!!!

WE'VE been around the block more than once! …

"Nature and Steel:" Poet

 "Nature and Steel:" Poem

A tree and the plane –

Nature and steel.

Are both filling up the soul?

What a difficult turmoil!

One is for the eyes and the view.

The other has wings to fly,

To carry it out and move by.

Here comes the true observation:

We need both green environment

And modern technology’s speed and power.

Green-green grass,

And a beautiful flower

Are the sculptures of nature.

The vision of granny in the back yard

Is a pressure moment.

The metal bird

Wrapped in a foil,

Filled with oil,

And clear air, o’ my Lord,

Are the symbols of progress.

Aviation and space –

Do not distress!

The airplane takes the flight.

The steel falcon takes off and might

To go on with the high-speed business.

Sneaky space satellite

Are riding the world…

Our future is bright.

Every day from the sunrise to the moonlight

My tree and the plane

Are neither the same,

And, yet they are all right.

Nature and steel –

Our planet’s will.

They belong together,

At any kind of weather.
