I need some cheerful poems or jokes, please!

[johnnys4life]

I had an idea that since I have nothing much else to do right now, maybe I could write to some old ladies who are lonely and need a little cheering up. Can anyone find me even just the name of a little poem or joke that an elderly lady might like? Preferably something cheerful about nature or animals...or does anyone know where I could look up some for myself? Thanks in advance!

I'll be trying to think of some, J4L! I feel badly that I can't think of any offhand...

thanks, robtex, but I just can't navigate the site. Every time I click on something it just seems to take me to another index. What am I doing wrong?

Here is one of my poems:

Sundance

The river rushes
Bears furry
Fish scurry
At peace
In a perfect world.

A saleswoman is driving through the Reservation toward home when she sees an Indian woman thumbing for a ride on the side of the road. As the trip had been long and quiet, she stops the car and the Indian woman gets in.

After a bit of small talk, the Indian woman notices a brown bag on the front seat.

"What's in the bag?" asks the Indian woman.

"It's a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband," says the saleswoman.

The Indian lady is silent for a moment then says, "Good trade"

You might be a redneck if:

your jack-o lantern on your porch has more teeth than you do.

you go to a family reunion looking for a girlfriend.

you've used the same knife to make bull calves steers and peel apples.

your dog rides in your truck more than your wife.

you have ever had to wash off in the backyard with a garden hose before your wife would let you in the house.

you've never thrown away a 5-gallon bucket.

your daddy walked you to school and you are both in the same grade.
