An Afghanistan diplomat visiting the US for the first time ...

... was being wined and dined by the State Department. The diplomat was not used to the salt in American foods (French fries, cheeses, salami, anchovies, etc.) and was constantly sending his manservant Abdul to fetch him a glass of water. Time and again, Abdul would scamper off and return with a glass of water, but then came the time when he returned empty handed.

"Abdul, you son of an ugly camel, where is my water?" demanded the diplomat.

"A thousand pardons, O Illustrious One," stammered the wretched Abdul, "A man is sitting on the well!"

>>>>YOUR SONG>>>>

When life is filled with storm clouds,

And you have lost your song;

When you wander in the darkness,

When all right has gone wrong...

Listen to the wind;

The melody that you will hear,

Will restore you once again.

The words are filled with comfort,

To right what has gone wrong;

Listen closely, you will hear,

The words there from your song.

So, when you can't remember,

The song your heart once sang;

I will stand there with  you,

Till you hear it once again..

The politician went to go out to the local reservation and to get the Native American vote.

They were all assembled in the Council Hall to hear the speech. The politician had worked up to his finale, and the crowd was getting more and more excited.

"I promise better education opportunities for Native Americans!"

The crowd went wild, shouting "Hoya! Hoya!".

The politician was a bit puzzled by the native word, but was encouraged by their enthusiasm.

"I promise gambling reforms to allow a Casino on the Reservation!"

"Hoya! Hoya!" cried the crowd, stomping their feet.

"I promise more social reforms and job opportunities for Native Americans!"

The crowd reached a frenzied pitch shouting "Hoya! Hoya! Hoya!"

After the speech, the Politician was touring the Reservation, and saw a tremendous herd of cattle. Since he was raised on a ranch, and knew a bit about cattle, he asked the Chief if he could get closer to take a look at the cattle.

"Sure," the Chief said, "but be careful not to step in the hoya..."

Cattle Dog's revenge



Now it ain't that I don't like dogs
I've got a few ya know
But these day I ain't too impressed
With bloody cross eyed Joe

Now he was the runt of the litter
Was he a pathetic little sight
But golly when it was feeding time
He'd put up such a fight

He'd stretch that mother's teat
Like it was flamin take away
Guzzling like a flamin pig
He'd be at it all damn day

I guess he was making up
For the undersize he be
But flamin hell at three months old
He towered over me

Now the time had come to say goodbye
We were giving pups away
He was costing us a fortune mate
Two pounds of beef a day

So into the truck we loaded him
With some other dogs we bred
When we started up to go
He went off his ruddy head

Over the flamin side he went
And off into the scrub
At least he was flamin gone
Hubba hubba hub

But just a few months later
As I was bent to milk old Belle
Seven pups crept up and bit
Be gawd it was damn hell

I raised me eyes in pain
And into bush I looked within
There stood all seven of them
With Joe's damn evil grin!

Pretty Yellow Flowers

"Grandmom!  Come, and lookie here!" called the happy little girl
Her eyes were brightly beaming, and her smile lit up the world
"I picked a pretty flower; it's just for you, from me!"
As she held up a pretty flower for her Grandmom to see.

"I found it growing in the grass.  I picked it just for you.
Can we put it in some water, to keep it fresh and new?"
Her Grandmom's heart was gladdened as she took the child's bouquet,
Remembering another time, another place, and day

When the little grandchild's Daddy, nearly thirty years ago
Brought her tiny yellow flowers, his dark eyes all aglow
From the smile of joy and pleasure he'd see on his Momma's face
And today his little daughter had come to take his place.

Dim but not forgotten mem'ries once again were bright as day
And the pleasure of the moment took all her cares away.
They placed the flowers in a vase and to the child's surprise
She watched her grandmom blink away the tears from misty eyes.

I've heard folks cuss dandelions; fact is, I've done it some.
That just goes to show how ignorant that us grown-ups can become
'Cause they ain't just a nuisance in your yard a-growin' wild;
They're pretty yellow flowers when picked by a little child.
