On their blog you can watch their kids grow.

4TH PLACE

Said Chelsea when meeting Obama,
"Can you rid the world of Osama?"
"Well, Chelsea," said he,
"In November we'll see,
But first I must outlast yo' mama!"
— Earl Elmont, Midvale

5TH PLACE

My phone used to be on the wall,
And its cord barely stretch to the hall.
Now a cell phone I carry,
Which should make me quite merry,
But it's lost and I can't call at all.
— Don Milne, Bountiful

HONORABLE MENTION

A modern, high-tech home my house is;
Computers for children and spouses.
In debt I am deep,
'Cause high-tech is not cheap,
For I put all my money where my mouse is.
— Janna Rogers

My grandma just got a computer
To use it she must have a tutor
She's tried very hard
Her confidence scarred
With each the third-graders out dooed her.
— Linda Horne

You know that the world's gone bizarre
When the petrol costs more than the car,
When Simon Cowell is judicious
And chocolate's nutritious
And the president says "nu-cu-lar."
— Jane Randall

Desperate Housewives hang out on Wisteria
While bank frauds assail from Nigeria
And you have the power,
At least 10 times an hour,
To shout into your cell phone, "I hear ya!"
— Julie Humes

There once was a girl who could text,
but who frequently got into wrecks,
when they all asked her why
this was her reply,
"My friend had to know what was next!"
— Natalie Hedelius

My card is in hand at the store.
I ignore the fact that I'm poor.
When I want something bad,
My card makes me feel glad.
It's the bill at month's end I abhor.
— Sheryl Schulthies

There was a powerful earthquake near Wells
And the ground moved around in hard swells.
There was shaking and breaking
And wide damage making.
But the townsfolk say bravely, "All's Wells."
