SEEDS

Friendship Seeds

Inside this little package
You'll find some friendship seeds
Plant with love and tend with care
And guard against the weeds.

Friendship seeds are hard to grow
The roots take hold with time
But the blooms which are produced
Are the sweetest you will find.

Fish Seeds

It's known you like to fish a lot
Your line dropped in the water
But sometimes they aren't biting
So you can't catch what you ought'er
When those times come just grab a pack
Of "ready to grow" fish seeds
Then raise them 'til they fit the size
Your best "fish stories" need!

Golf Ball Seeds

With balls in the water or lost on the course
This is just what a player needs.
To replenish your stash of golf balls,
Just make use of these Golf Ball Seeds!

Cow Seeds

right side up. (Cow will grow upside

to grow your own herd.

Beanie Baby Seeds

When you have to have a Beanie,
And you can't take out a loan,
Plant these little beanie seeds,
And soon you'll grow your own.

Friendship Jar

A Candle meant to light your way
A Flower brightens every day
A Tiny Sponge to dry your tears
and soak up all those needless fears
A Band-Aid meant to help you mend
your feelings when they ache
Erasers come in handy when
you've made a big mistake
A Paper Clip reminds me of
how close I feel to you
A Candy gives you something sweet
when you are feeling blue
A Rubberband - a great big Squeeze
A Chocolate Kiss is sure to please
A Button - cause my lips are sealed,
your secrets all inside
A Golden Thread that's in a knot
to say our hearts are tied
A Magic Star to wish upon
to make your dreams come true
A Little Heart - cause that's the place
where I shall cherish you!!!

When things are going bad.
Thank you for the shoulder,
To cry on when I'm sad.
This gift is a reminder that,
All my lifetime through,
I will be thanking heaven,
For a special friend like you.

Rount Tuit

This is a tuit and tuits are rare
Especially the round ones, so guard it with care
How many times have you heard someone say
(or said it yourself at least six times a day)
"One of these days I really will do it...
I'll do it as soon as I get round tuit"
Well here's your round tuit, good luck to you,
Now there's no limit to what you can do!

Exerciser

Exercise is something we seldom like to do
It needn’t be so hard or even take much time
So place this block upon the floor
And walk around it just two times
Then rest awhile, cause after all
You’ve walked twice around the block.

Angel Cream

It's time to rest your sleepy head
Kick off your sleepers and climb into bed
Dab on your wrist some angel cream,
So angels will watch over you as you dream.

And keep this close at hand
You'll feel oh so grand
When you turn it on
You will get some relief
Even if it's only brief
And befor too very long
They soon will be gone.

When you want to climb the wall,
And stand right up and shout.

Then find a place to slam it.
And as you whack the stuffing out
Yell, Dammit, Dammit, Dammit!

Darnit Doll

When you want to climb the wall,
And stand right up and shout.

Then find a place to slam it.
And as you whack the stuffing out
Yell, Darnit, Darnit, Darnit!

Road Rage Dammit Doll
©Eve Originals
In your car as you go to work
The guy in front of you is a jerk
Since he won't get outta the way
You yell, "I need to get there TODAY!"
Then to get more frustration out
Just grab the doll and whack it,
On the dashboard as you shout,
"Dammit, Dammit, Dammit!"

Sports Rage Doll
©Eve Originals
When the referee has made a bad call
And you want to yell and hit the wall
Or a player's missed an easy score
And you can't take it anymore,
Just grab this doll and whack it
At the tv as you shout
And knock the stuffing out,
Damiit! Dammit!, Dammit!!

Computer Dammit Doll
©2003Eve Originals
Weird things happen as you hit return
Or your keyboard just can't spell
Things don't seem to be going well
And the computer has a sudden "chill"
So instead of yanking the plug out
Just take this doll and whack it
Against the monitor as you shout
Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!

Dishcloth Butterfly

I'm a handy little butterfly
And colorful as you can see
I can brighten up your kitchen
If you'll just set me free

So turn me loose and set me free
For this is one of my wishes.
Just take the pipe stem from my body
And I'll help you wash the dishes

Chocolate Lovers Jar

Don't worry about the little things
There's no need to whine or fret...
As these reminders will show you
All will be fine with Chocolate!!

Chocolate…it's not just for breakfast anymore!!
Anything is good and useful if it's made of chocolate!!
Forget love...I'd rather fall in chocolate!
Hand over the chocolate and no one gets hurt !
Life...Liberty...and the pursuit of chocolate!
When the going gets tough, the tough get chocolate.
Who says chocolate isn't a food group!!
Some things in life are better rich...coffee, chocolate, men.

Coffee Lover's Jar

Some people are truly hooked
On the coffee beans they brew
So when a cup is not so handy
Just take some coffee candy
And a coffee moment too!

And need some confidence
Just put your hand inside the jar
And take out encourage-mints.
