Artistic Interpretation by MeMe Jones

This is MeMe's artistic interpretation of Wallace (a/k/a) "Scary Guy".

Ok, Heres one for the boys... ;-)

Since Wallace felt left out and wanted his own poem, I gave it a whirl last night and came up with this one for BOTH the boys ( I couldnt leave Little Petey out too ).....

Our Boys
By Vickie Shaw

Can you guess which is which by the tidbits I tell?
Knowing you can cause we know them so well

One liked to tattle and touch his tongue to his nose
While the other carried a blanket and walked on his toes

One loved to tinker and take things apart
The other loved Star Wars and a Simpson named Bart

One always had socks hanging half off his feet
One if he bled, would pass out in his seat

One’s main thing to eat was peanut butter and jelly
The other would inhale food to fill up his belly

We turned ones GI Joe’s into Barbie’s ballerina
And got in trouble for calling the other, Wallamina

How they’ve turned out ok is a mystery yet
Cause we picked and we teased every chance we could get

But all kidding aside these words up above
I hope you both know this was written with love

I'm a poet and didnt know it.....

Okay people...I had entered an online poetry contest months ago, just on a whim at a friends request because she liked some stuff I've done for her before...well guess what? I actually won 2nd place!! Im still surprised because I don't do poetry and its kinda basic...Now you don't win anything except the recognition of saying you won, but hey, its better than nothing. So here it is:
Oh and Wallace and Pete, don't feel slighted, I'll make one up for you too ;-)

Sisters
By Vickie Shaw

Solid is the bond for which we all share
Each of us stronger in knowing it’s there

Always there when we need them no matter what time
Being a true voice of reason or partners in crime

Sharing feelings and memories, confessions and prayers
Each understanding completely the depths of our layers

Somehow knowing what’s needed without asking why
Whether only to listen, to laugh or to cry

They can tell us we’re stupid and selfish and wrong
Though we may not agree, we see before long

We talk of our secrets, our hopes and our dreams
The highs and the lows, the plans and the schemes

It doesn’t matter at all if they live close or live far
Just a phone call away brings them right where we are

Together we’ve forged our own chain of support
To help pick us back up if one should fall short

Ties that are closer than husbands or friends
Sisters are the ones that we can always depend

Even though we’re all different, one thing is the same
We are all proud to be from the family we came
