A Trailerpark Christer Story

Saturday, March 25th, 2006

'Twas the week before Christer and me, Donnie Lee Went with momma to WalMart, to get pictures of me I got some new glasses, the 'duck' featherweight kind And we sipped on cappchino, while waitin' in line. My momma Doreen, she's done got a new style At Miss Dolly's Hair Heaven, 'cuzz it'd been quite awhile She was gettin' a perm, when it started to kink So Miss Dolly hid the back part, with a BIG ribbon of pink. My brother DelRoy, he's still sittin' in jail Doesn't eat a whole lot, that's why he's so frail He says jail cookin' keeps him nice and so trim And the muscles he sports? Works out at the gym. My granny D'Roselee is still a smokin' and bakin' But lately she's complained that her back's a been achin' So the family decided we'd all chip in and buy A back brace and cane from that flea market guy. My daddy Dexter's still in Arkansas Penn He'll get a visit from us, like the other prison men We'll bring him clean unders, some smokes, and Moon Pies And a book from the store called, "A Prisoner's Guide." We'll take along a poster-size print of his truck "Carwash Jinkins" did a good job, got it all dolled up Daddy will be grateful and he'll know who to thank 'Cuzz those men who done stole it, once robbed the town bank. Now little D'Twyluh – she's just so suuuuuweet Is a hopin' that Santy Claws will bring her some teeth She's now in 4th grade and the ones that she's missin' Are the ones she wants back, so she'll stop all that hissin.' Delvis Dee is still plannin' to become a physician He studies real hard and a he keeps on a wishin' That one day he'll make it to doctorin' school With his toy "Doctor's Kit," he's got all the right tools. Half-brother JimBob and Sharleen Poteet Still raise all those possum that are always in heat They got several hundred in a "lean-to" wood shed JimBob skinned a few once to make a hat for his head. My sister DeeLeen with her "Big 14" brood Says this Christer she ain't in a very good mood New husband Dewley done spent Section 8 dollars So life ain't so good down in Tuttweilers Holler. Cousins Jethro "Polecat" is now smellin' lots cleaner He also lost weight and is lookin' much leaner At nights he still plays in a rock 'n roll band But Saturdays 'n Sundays he's at the tomater stand. And Lawrence Winklemeister, this kid from my past Will get a new tombstone and this one should last It's made of fine marble from an Eyetalian quarry And not out of plastic. Now his momma won't worry. Remember those twins we use to throw things at? They went on some diet, now they ain't quite as fat They's now into high school and doin' real swell Why the girl she's a datin' some trucker named Dell. Of course we cannot forget 'ol Jake Scumm He's still riding' cycles and chewin' Skoal Gum After so many crashes, his speech ain't too good But he wears his blue helmet, like a boy in the hood. Last but not least is Big Uncle Marky He likes to wear minis when he goes to a party Cross dressin' to him is such a great gag The best part on him? A butt that don't sag. Merry Crister, Everbody!!

The Wedding of Roger and Dr. Jane

Saturday, March 25th, 2006

Roger Shellenberger asked me to help him write something serious to say at his wedding day ceremony. Of course, I had to also come up with a few humorous words as well. This day is very special And I want you to believe Just how much I love you, Jane As you’re God’s gift to me I had long been searching For someone I could love Then I asked God to intercede Prayer answered……from above He brought to me my soul mate Yes you, my dearest one He so carefully weaved us But His work was not quite done He presented us opportunity To know each other well And when I did propose to you Any doubts had been dispelled So as we are brought together And become “one” with these vows Let us thank Our God this day For the joy that we feel now! ——- From The Humorous Side… Now that wur married ‘n yer ma new wyfe I shor can say this now: “Glad yer inn ma life!” It twus luv at furst site I noed frum tha start That yew wus sew speshull Cuzz yer uh surgin ov hart!

I pray today and always That Our DEAR LORD bring to you A measure of HIS comforting love To only strengthen you You may not understand it now But HE knows what HE‘s about Continue just to trust in HIM Without any human doubt Yes, HE feels your anxieties And knows you may be frightened But HE has sent you angels So your burdens will be lightened Our DEAR LORD, HE does recognize All the good that's in your heart Believe in HIM each and every day And you'll never be apart HE loves you oh so very much And knows your sweet devotion HE will take good care of you And do so with strong emotion M.Clary November 12, 2002

Jazz For Everyone

Saturday, March 25th, 2006

The sound of Jazz can be red hot or cool To dance to its beat, quite aerobic But view this word in a different light And not in the form of jazz music In the workplace, Jazz is a "Challenge" Yet provokes great ideas and thoughts Jazz can help us "Collaborate" And not dwell on old battles fought Jazz can be "Fun" and "Exciting" And energize us to work hard and true Jazz can be "Satisfying" and "Rewarding" When achievements are more than a few Jazz is what we should strive for To be "Happy" when we've reached a goal "Knowing" that we've "added value" Not as one, but the team as a whole So let us get Jazzed and be upbeat Seize this moment of opportunity Take what we've learned – declare a position And stand for a new possibility !!

The Work Saga Of Anniel Winston-Hall

Saturday, March 25th, 2006

It takes a special person, to really get involved And globalize, not compromise, this product called EVOLVE It takes true dedication, perseverance, and some "gab" The perfect type of leader, EDS should always have Her name is Anniel, Winston-Hall is her surname She's taking the initiative, all the way to global fame It matters not that there are quirks; sometimes it's just demand But her great team of professionals, are always close at hand Her leader, Charles Carter, has so very much to do So Goodpasture & Team Brekelmans, they keep things running smooth Iodice and Andrew, Angelo and McLean Thomas, Garneau, and "Pino" are still intact, it seems And when she's faced with problems, she always seeks resolve And calls upon the sub-committee, and gets them all involved They gather and they brainstorm; opinions fly with expertise And they come to some consensus, so that everyone agrees As Anniel moves forward, with workforce planning tasks She knows there will be questions, that always will be asked If she doesn't have the answer, she'll find out right away And will strive to reply back to you, by "Close of Business" day In closing, I would like to say: EVOLVE we should enjoy After all, this application, is keeping us all employed If I have left out someone's name, on this day and time Forgive me, it wasn't intentional. I just ran out of rhyme M. Clary March 20, 2002
