This was just handed to me from neighbor Mennonites who worry I keep my Granddaughter away from Sunday School.... Among the literature this poem titled: FLOWERS.

Flowers-

It opened in grand symmetry,

Like fuffled lace for all to see.

It's petals, splashed with colors bright.

embraced the sun in sheer delight.

For one brief day, it gloried there,

And wafted perfume on the air.

Then it was gone -- and in its place'

Held shriveled brownness toward my face.

And so is a human -- they seek to sup

The brimming fulness of Life's cup

The he/she is gone, and in their place

Come others on life's treadmill race!

Oh, shame that humans in pride, should raise

Unholy hand in his own ' vain ' praise.

For as the flower -- fades -- humans must

Return and crumble into dust!

O God, Thou has made all things,

Give each a trusting heart that sings.

And blooms for Nature in our brief day.

For soon we, too, must pass away. (apologies to Edith S. Witmer) And My Deepest Respect to my Good Neighbors. William. You know what I was told this morning?

"Papa your breath stinks! Deodorant is for smelly armpits." I'll tell W.T.!

I missed a 'hook-up' to go to Baltimore to see the art-Body-exhibit. I'll see it some fine day later. Hopefully.

Happy Birthday to: Pedinska, Northwestwoods, kovie, Glenn, W.T., shooter 242, Kitt, tiberius,

and in order to save-space-O, Everybody!

Oh. Hop To It!

In the kids Wa/Po section, it instructs readers about some important facts!

* Frogs have been around for 200-million years. They are not on 'frigid' Antarctica.

*The biggest frog is The West African goliath. It's a big 7-pounder. Tree toads are 1/2-in. long.

*Frogs were the first land animals with vocal cords.

*Some frogs can be heard clearly at one mile away.

*When frogs swallow, they pull in their bulging eyes to help push the food down into a belly.

*Some frogs can leap 20 X's their body weight. Frogs can be deadly? Humans toads (Rove) are even more deadly.

It's not tick season yet. Soon we'll need to check head scalps for ticks and fleas. Never try to pull a night crawler worm from the ground hole? The worm will thrash, squirm, and become a irritating reincarnation 'Gnat' who runs for a GOP politico's vacancy position? I don't know.

ondellette? proof read? You are to blame?

Dear GWB or legal guardian,

Sheesh. (What fun to mock when you don't get it? You must only pretend)

The ticking clock will soon chime. Boom! Kaboom! A world exclaims disgust.

In preparation, prepare to wrap yourself in wrinkled waxed paper, and crawl under dirty bed sheets.

Everywhere the crumpled yellow musty sheets touch.... whether on the toes, knees, hips,

chest, or upper torso -- Scream!

You can avoid a slow suffocation?

How? The Grief weight can sure end?

Tell the Yellow GOPS and CEO's foes!

Let them confess LIES. O, Pro-murder?

The Capital Hill Thuggery needs relief!

Play loud excruciating decibel screeches!

Sing the "Star Spangled Banner" for 24-hours.

Tell the CEO's and GOP's to cease the murders!

Tell them about the Compact With Past Historic devious Evils.

No-Do not look at yourself in the dark-back Looking-Glass!

You heard that "Beauty is only skin deep?" Well, what about it? Look!

Whoa! See a hideous skeleton bone frame with slime worms crawling?

Hells Welcome Wagon will see ya if the dusty yellow venetian blinds are pulled anyway.

Moan. Groan. You are in preparation for a parade? Who will be the chauffeur at the wheel?

Your "good" buddy pals: Rove? Cheney? Pundits? Mamma? Not Osama. Maybe the incarnate Devil? Why be betrayed? Pride? Yep. History will hiss and spit from every Circus Street Parade curbside forever.

The criminal cohorts will cause real People to shout obscenities that are heard worldwide. Oh, and Shame. Children will curse ya's memory, learned from parental guidance and familiar discussions around pleasant mealtimes with good guest and friendship neighbors present. The GOP Parade has been sponsored by Fraud Bank Wall Street "Trust" Associates?

Yep. Those are the same-same bloody war-arm-sales-merchants of the past, Right?

okay. A world agrees.

So- post - thuggery ?

What will the false global merchants do now? Ride you via town in a rusted tin jalopy?

You want to sit in a Thunderbird convertible on the folded-down top and wave at people?

P.S. No way. You are hissed.

So Now- Why don't ya's down at the Pentagon install a old Maytag Spin Washer next to the polluted Potomac?

The River needs purified too. It runs about 285-miles via the Appalachian Mountains and kills the Chesapeake Bay's aquatic life forms. Maybe roll this NOTE up on a paper scroll? Put it in a Mason bottle jug? Or, tie a rubber band around 'it' with wax-paper to share with the Supreme Court or The Hague Tribunals? It can't hurt any more than the GOP's have hurt the greater world! What filth? Yes. Ya's darn tootin' it's filth!

Maybe do something good before you all will croak?

Some fine day a fish-bait bucket gets knocked over?

The whole can of wiggle-worms creeps back to earth!

heh.
