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.

.

I was once 

considered a

‘person of interest’

for a crime,

***

but then the police

interviewed a guy

who could play guitar

with his feet,

***

and suddenly, all the interest went to him.

I think I have

always loved

making things.

***

As a young boy

my parents could leave

me alone all day long

with nothing but a stack

of construction paper,

glue, and some scissors,

***

and, brother, that

was all I needed to

make a big mess

.

.

.

We were a poor family but

we were rich in spankings.

***

“Just wait until your father comes home!” my mother would say.

***

And knowing a spanking was

imminent, I would go to the

study and grab the thickest

book I could find, and then

stuff it in my pants. 

***

And then, when my

father finally got home

and heard what I had done,

***

he’d storm into my room,

pull me over his knee,

yank down my pants —

***

And then get lost in a good book.

***

“Son, this is going to hurt me more than it hurts you …

***

‘They call me Ishmael.'”

IF you some-

times have trouble

remembering

important things,

try making a

rhyme out of it!

***

For example:

I always had

trouble

remembering

which

socks to wear.

***

So, I say,

***

Find a sock on the street,

don’t put it on your feet.

Find a sock in your drawer,

put it on for sure.

***

Now you try it at home.

All of

my

And that happened

I bet it was

a pirate who

invented the

diving board.

I cannot think of

anything sadder

than seeing a

Sloppy Joe,

all spruced up smart,

and wearing a

little bow-tie.

Because —

Where do you think you’re going?

There is

not

a prison

hold me

the way

that I

want to

be held
