Swell

or the day the snake started wearing glasses….


Edwin banged on the glass and threw rocks at the birds.

He pushed through the crowds to make sure he was first!

“Where does this door go to?” Edwin asked of his Mum.

“You get back here this instant!  Leave that door knob alone!”

And then he was gone…    As for clues, there weren’t any.

Seems that Edwin that day, banged on one glass too many!

And of Course… Eye of Newt

A light bulb moment at 5:00 in the morning… do I get up and draw it right now, or go back to sleep.Well… I didn’t get up, and I didn’t go back to sleep either!
There was no sleeping until Ruby got the new direction she was asking for.
Don’t you hate it… and love it when this happens!!!!

Bad Santa

You better watch out… You don’t and you’ll cry
You better not doubt… I’m telling you why…
Santa Flaws is coming to town!

He smells like a fungus. He’s covered with lice.
He spits when he talks… and he’s not very nice.
Santa Flaws is coming to town!

He sneaks in while you’re sleeping
And eats up all the cake
He drinks the beer and kicks the dog
So beware for goodness sake!

You better watch out… You don’t and you’ll cry,
You better not doubt… I’m telling you why… Santa Flaws is coming to town!
by Roberta Baird

The side of the family that no one wants to talks about!
