DID you know that

Davy Crockett once

owned a pet cricket

named Davy Crickett?

***

Not many people do.

***

Maybe if the cricket

had stayed to fight

at the Alamo we’d know

more about him.

***

But as it is,

Davy Crickett

turned his tail

and skedaddled.

I don’t know why

I keep a roach motel

under my kitchen sink.

***

At first I was optimistic

***

But it hasn’t caught

anything since they

moved the interstate.

***

Roaches still check-in

but they don’t stay long.

TREFOLOGY AROUND THE TOWN

***

Good news, readers!

***

My ‘Jokes for Kids’ feature

is a hit with the kids!

***

Just this past weekend,

I was dining with

my betrothed at a cafe in

East Hollywood, when a

six year old came up to my

table and said,

“I enjoy your work”

***

Then he asked if I would

sign his copy of Hi-lights

for Children magazine.

***

That was then it hit me.

The kid was confusing me

for another writer!

***

H.F.C. has stubbornly refused

all of my submissions. But —

I didn’t want to disappoint.

***

So, I nodded politely,

and then signed,

“Garry Cleveland Myers”

over the cartoon

Goofus & Gallant

***

Then I finished my meal.
