Continuation

I gave you the tale of my computer Last month All is working....... Well sort of. And again it came down to me to put in a network card. It put up a stubborn fight But two days later I MADE IT WORK! It really wasn't that hard But there were other things Like licenses for the vehicles and me Mine was the problem My birth certificate name was different you see. I had had it changed But who knows in what state The lawyer said "shoot The one on your birth certificate will do.". The Kansas license was personalized And a beautiful thing I decided I'd keep it And one day put it out for all to see. When I removed it I brought it inside Washed and dried it And set it aside. One evening Shirlee and Fred came by On their way home from work I wasn't here but they left some no, no's For my dessert. The next day they came by to give me a ride It was off to garage sales we would go Shirlee looked at me and said "Mom is that your idea of a joke?" I didn't pick up on what she meant And she pointed toward the stove. " I mean ," she said "Do you intend to leave your License plate up there?" I told you it was special, I didn't want it to get hurt So I placed it on the vent Above the cook stove to make sure. It was tan And a buffalo stood with pride The letters C I L E Were printed on it's side. I still didn't get the drift Until she pointed to the four little words And Read "HOME ON THE RANGE." I had to sit down I was laughing so hard And when I think back I still get a charge. I haven't yet found my home on the range But I'll tell you this my friends Following the next four lines You can add the word, AMEN No more cooking I am through If you can't use the micro wave BOO HOO!

Cile, this is great! Love your surprise to the fact it had stated "home on the range" as I too would have been surprised. That shows honesty and humor in the writing. My best to you! MIchael
