9th April 2012 A Poem, By A Child On Children

This poem was nominated, by United Nations, as the best poem of 2006, written by an African child

When I born, I black

When I grow up, I black

When I go in Sun, I black

When I scared, I black

When I sick, I black

And when I die, I still black
 
And you white fellow

When you born, you pink

When you grow up, you white

When you go in sun, you red

When you cold, you blue

When you scared, you yellow

When you sick, you green

And when you die, you gray

And you calling me coloured?

9th April 2012 Forgetter By Forgotten

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 hell 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???

Please send this to everyone you know
because
I DON'T REMEMBER
WHOM I SENTTHIS TO!

9th April 2012 Patent Of Inventions

In the Patent office to register some of my inventions.

I went to the main desk to sign in and the lady at the desk had a form that had to be filled out. She wrote down my personal info and then asked me what I had invented.

I said, "a folding bottle".

She said, "Okay, what do you call it?"

"A Fottle."

"What else do you have."
"I have also invented a folding carton."
Again she said, "what do you call it?"
"A Farton."

She sniggered and said, "Those are silly names for products and one of them sounds kind of crude."

I was sort of upset by her comment, so I grabbed the form and left the office without even telling her about my folding bucket.

9th April 2012 Truth Out Of The Mouths Of Kids

** Always tell the truth
I was nervous the night my husband and I took our three young sons to a restaurant for the first time. My husband ordered a bottle of wine with the meal. When the waitress brought it, our children became quiet as she began the ritual uncorking. She poured a small amount for me to taste, at that moment, our six-year-old piped up, "Mum drinks a lot more than that."

** At School

Mother: 'Why are you home from school so early?' Son: 'I was the only one who could answer a question.'

Mother: 'Oh, really? What was the question?'

Son: 'Who threw the blackboard duster at the teacher?'

** Going straight?

Jasper Barnett, a young lad from St. Alban's, England was asked by his teacher to spell the word 'straight.' Jasper did so without error.

'Well done!' smiled the teacher, 'Now, Jasper, what does it mean?'

'Without water in it!' responded Jasper immediately.

** Newspaper Boy

A newspaper boy was standing on the corner with a large pile of papers, shouting, 'Read all about it. Twenty five people cheated. Twenty five people cheated.'

Intrigued, a man walked over, bought a paper, and checked the front page. What he saw was yesterday's paper. The man said,
'Hey, this is an old paper, where's the story about the big swindle?'

The newspaper boy ignored him and went on yelling out, 'Read all about it. Twenty six people cheated.'
