Yes, Jenny Wren was the bride of Cock Robin, who was killed by the sparrow, who was aiming at the cuckoo, who was attacking Jenny Wren. All of which, of course, led to the Death and Burial of Cock Robin. If only there had been stricter bow and arrow control laws.

Nah! I read it somewhere. I will take credit for the last sentence. That was supposed to be a joke. Why doesn't anybody laugh at my jokes. That, too, is supposed to be a joke.

Oh Richard!!!!! I was laughing :o) Oh, and the part about your backyard and the alligator, I'm with your wife on that one!!!! I wouldn't want the cat out at ALL. Having them that close, doesn't that kinda scare you? Aren't you afraid you'll be visited INSIDE the house someday. Is it true about what they say about alligators eating dogs? and you have to always watch out for that? I guess you get use to it, huh? Lynn Richard Emlin Reed wrote: Nah! I read it somewhere.

Oh, it's not me (after a verb or preposition, use the objective case) that wants the cat outside; it's the cat that wants the cat outside. You should see her come to the door when I open the drapes. No, I'm not scared; I'm relying on the law of averages. There are several dozen people who live near the pond and only one alligator. Besides, he hasn't shown an inclination for having me for dinner. He can't get in the house; he doesn't know how to open the door. I don't know if alligators eat dogs. Get used to what; watching alligators eat dogs? I don't know; I've never seen one eat one. }:-) Richard Emlin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lynn Vondran" <lynnvondran@att.net> To: <padutch-life@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2007 6:32 PM Subject: [PD-LIFE] Alligators and jokes :o) > Oh Richard!!!!!
