Oh my dear said the Mirror, “You are ugly as ugly can be.” “Oh,” cried the woman, “I must be perfect. I must look young.

Rooster Choice
Nestled among the hills of Virginia was a seemingly quiet farm or at least it use to be before an arrogant rooster appeared one day.

I’m a Teapot
When I was little we didn’t go to the doctor much. There wasn’t enough money. Instead every time we were sick my Mom would drag out the china teapot and place a tablespoon or two of loose tea in the metal filter and fill the top with boiling water. The water would gradually drain throughContinue reading “I’m a Teapot”
