 The ambitious coach of a girls’ track team starts giving his squad steroids. Their performance soars, and they go on to win the county and state championships. The day before the nationals, Penelope, a 16-year-old hurdler, comes into his office.
"Coach," she says, "I have a problem. Hair is starting to grow on my chest."
"Oh my God!" yells the coach. "Well, how far down does it go?"
"Down to my balls," she replies, "and that’s another thing I wanted to talk to you about!"

 Don't be so angry with me. I'm not an English poet, I'm just learning to be)))

Several lines about my favourite season...


Autumn Princess comes with the tears in her eyes
Rainfalls remember that Earth from the very beginning of time
Princess wishes she could meet a lambent sunrise
Without her mornings of sad senseless rhymes

 Live in active voice, not the passive.
Think more about what you make happen than what happens to you.

Live in the indicative mood rather than subjective.
Be concerned with things as they are rather than as they might be.

Live in the present tense facing the duty at hand.
Without regret for the past or worry for the future.

Live in the first person, 
criticising yourself rather than finding fault with others.

Live in singular number, 
caring more for the approval of your own conscience than for the applause of the crowd.

And if you want a verb to conjugate, 
you cannot do better than to take a verb “to love”. (c)

A man stopped at a flower shop for ordering some flowers to be sent as a gift to his mother who lived two hundred miles away. 

As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing. He asked her what was wrong and she replied, “I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother. But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose costs two dollars.” 

The man smiled and said, “Come on in with me. I’ll buy you a rose.” He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother’s flowers. 

As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home. She said, “Yes, please! You can take me to my mother.” She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave.

The man returned to the flower shop, cancelled the gifting order, picked up a bouquet and drove the two hundred miles to his mother’s house.

At times we take many such relationships with our family and friends for granted. Learn to value them.

George B.: Rice? Good idea. And a couple of egg rolls, too. Maybe we should send some to the guy in China. And the Middle East.
