About Me
- Kimberly Long Cockroft
- I live, write, and work in a sweet town perched on the edge of Puget Sound. My work has been published in a variety of genres, including poetry, fiction, and children's literature. I love sharing my passion for words and community with folks of all ages, from elementary school students to adults, and have been privileged to do just that for many years as a teacher, journalist, spiritual writer, and friend. Pots of tea abound.

Lady: "Well, isn't that special?"
"C'mon, boys, concentrate! Winner gets the steaming tuna noodle casserole in the oven. Loser gets to plunge the toilet."
How 'bout those Packers!
I told you man, we should never have followed the Iron City beer with shooters!
I can't feel my knees!
"I can't believe you boys are at it again. I thought you grew out of this years ago. Mommy loves you both equally!"
Two Packer fans high-five after completing their penance: ten hours of kneeling in gravel. They should have known not to recreate the Cowboy stadium's confetti fall with tortilla chip shards at the end of Myrtle's Superbowl game.

That last one's pretty funny. Myrtle looks like such a friendly woman to make two of her guests kneel in gravel, but you never know.
"Karate Kid! Sensei! Supper's ready." (to herself ..."stinkin' wax-on wax-off")
If Myrtle weren't an avid Steelers fan, she might not have been so unforgiving. It's a good thing her guests' knees were made of plastic.
Focus on our thumbs and don't look at him in the eyes, then... well, maybe I can win this game of thumb wrestling and win Betty back. It may not be football, but I've got it in me. Balance, breath, and on your marks get ready...

Ooops. Sorry about posting twice--my first blog!
"More Anonymous" and Myrtle-creator, who are you? Do I know you? Whoever you are, you're makin' me laugh.
Chuck and Jeff of the US team diligently practice the "soaring bald eagle" section of their synchronized hand shadow routine as the sneaky Russian coach looks on.
Good one Sal!
Oh, yes, "More Anonymous" is well known to you, Bo!
