About the Poet
Born and raised and live in Kentucky but I wear shoes most of the time. Nearing retirement and looking forward to spending more time with my wife of 36 years and our wonderful daughter and son-in-law. Have worked in the medical profession for over 30 yrs. Lots of changes! Started writing poetry after my father passed away in 2006. My sister passed away at age 50 and it has been a joy to help guide her five precious children and now we have six great-nieces and great-nephews. I am the guardian for my handicapped brother and my wife and I arrange for his 24 hr care. In reality, Willy's simple faith and absolute inexhaustible supply of unconditional love are probably the inspirational source for most of my poetry. He and I have easily watched more than 2,000 episodes of Mister Rogers together! "But a cheerful heart has a continual feast." He has a continual feast and is more than willing to share! If the world could look through his compassionate/non-judgmental eyes, this would be a much nicer place!

Old Coffee Cups

by Jean Mollett

Old coffee cups,
don't throw them away.
Even if they're stained,
just add a little salt
and wet it, rub it.
Clean as a whistle.

Old coffee cups,
even no handle, they
can be reused. No pencil
holder? There ya go, put
it to good use. Handy, huh?

Old coffee cups,
the best thing there is,
for all the pencils and pens,
right there on your desk.
For the computer center,
or even for space savers.

Author's Note: Old coffee cups, there are many uses for them. I've got my second cup just about filled.
