Jack has died. His lawyer is standing before the family and reads out Jack's last will and testament. "To my dear wife Esther, I leave the house, 50 acres of land, and one million dollars. To my son Barry, I leave my big Lexus and the Jaguar. To my daughter Suzy, I leave my yacht and $250,000. And to my brother-in-law Jeff, who always insisted that health is better than wealth, I leave my sun lamp." ************************************************************************* My face in the mirror Isn't wrinkled or drawn. My house isn't dirty, The cobwebs are gone. My garden looks lovely And so does my lawn. I think I might never Put my glasses back on. ************************************************************************* My daughter's eighth-grade history class planned a visit to our nation's capital. Unfortunately, she was not greatly enthusiastic about a trip that she considered too "educational" to be fun. However, on their return, I was pleased to hear how she and her classmates had been filled with awe and emotion as they gazed at the Washington Monument. "To think, Mom," she marveled. "We were standing right where Forrest Gump stood." |
