Being Dyslexic
He was teased by other kids,
Always called "retard."
Burning inside, he showed them!
-worked hard, achieved Honor Roll.
Walking through Auschwitz,
G.I.s said Never again!
-yet, many times since.
They marched with banners,
Yelling their protest slogan of peace
-"Hell No!-we won't go."
Puritan Forefathers
Vowed to build City on Hill
-hanged those thought witches.
He so loved the world,
To save it, endured the cross
-men gambled below.
Escaping famine,
They passed through Ellis Island
-to build better life.
Jack had foolproof plan,
To be a very rich man!
-sell Tofu coffee.
My wife told me once,
Eat only three plates per meal!
-New Year's resolution.
