      Welcome to my first book

      Thank you for deciding to take a look

      I did my best to keep it clean

      But some words are still obscene

      I hope these words make you smile

      Or at least help you relax for a little while

      So once again I have to say

      Thanks for buying my book today

      What's New

      A table full of food breeds conversation

      Despite the group or situation

      Songs, stories, and your favorite store

      Movies and memories of things you adore

      With the right group, talking is no labor

      Your words
