My Dragon Fly and Me

If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!

By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone

On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guide
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and me...

And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...

Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

Twas the Day After Thanksgiving



My alarm goes off
I hop out of bed
I’m prepared for this day
Ready for what lies ahead

After a hearty breakfast
and a quick hot shower
I warm up the car
And depart within the hour

The traffic is light
The sky is still dark
I reach my destination
and search for a place to park

I get out of my car
and walk up to the store
There was already a long line
A hundred? Maybe more …

I stood in line
and patiently waited
This would be grueling,
I anticipated

The doors opened slowly
We push our way through
The time has come
to do what we came to do

I pull out my list
and grab a shopping cart
I head to the toy aisle,
the perfect place to start

Five kids to buy for
Four daughters, one son
Katie, Carrie, Karla,
Penelope and Jason

Finding Nemo
and Playstation two
Baby clothes for Katie
In pink, yellow, and blue

The latest Barbie doll
A toy gun
A couple of video games
My kid’s shopping is done

Time to shop for Hank,
my husband whom I adore
I head over to the men’s section

To look around and explore
Top of line power drill
A tool belt and wrench set
A brand new business suit
I’m not finished yet

A DVD player for dad
A pair of earrings for mom
A purse for Aunt Dorrie
A gold watch for Uncle Tom

I’m almost through
A few more items to get
Christmas cards, eggnog,
and tree ornaments

I go to the checkout line
To pay and leave
I hope everyone loves
All the gifts they'll receive

I lugged all my bags
out to my car
I wished that I hadn’t
had to park so far

I drove home,
tired and weary
The traffic was heavy
The weather was dreary

I hobbled into the house
And hid all the gifts
I went back to bed
“Wake me up when it’s Christmas!”

Good morning, Sam.

As I was reading the poem of the day, I could not help but think of the Wild Bird Centre. :-)

Thanks for all.

I am going to have to learn what player I need to listen to the tunes when I am using my laptop. I am using it more these days until I get the Mac updated.

TWAS THE NIGHT OF THANKSGIVING, BUT I JUST COULDN'T SLEEP.
>
I TRIED COUNTING BACKWARDS, I TRIED COUNTING SHEEP.
>
THE LEFTOVERS BECKONED - THE DARK MEAT AND WHITE.
>
BUT I FOUGHT THE TEMPTATION WITH ALL OF MY MIGHT.
>
TOSSING AND TURNING WITH ANTICIPATION.
>
THE THOUGHT OF A SNACK BECAME INFATUATION.
>
SO, I RACED TO THE KITCHEN, FLUNG OPEN THE DOOR AND GAZED AT THE
FRIDGE, FULL OF GOODIES GALORE.
>
I GOBBLED UP TURKEY AND
BUTTERED POTATOES, PICKLES AND CARROTS, BEANS AND TOMATOES.
>
I FELT MYSELF SWELLING SO PLUMP AND SO ROUND,
>
'TILL ALL OF A SUDDEN, I ROSE OFF THE GROUND.
>
I CRASHED THROUGH THE CEILING, FLOATING INTO THE SKY, WITH A MOUTHFUL
OF
PUDDING AND A HANDFUL OF PIE.

BUT, I MANAGED TO YELL AS I SOARED PAST THE TREES....

HAPPY EATING TO ALL PASS THE CRANBERRIES, PLEASE.

MAY YOUR STUFFING BE TASTY, MAY YOUR TURKEY BE PLUMP.

MAY YOUR POTATOES 'N GRAVY HAVE NARY A LUMP,

MAY YOUR YAMS BE DELICIOUS MAY YOUR PIES TAKE THE PRIZE,

MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING DINNER STAY OFF OF YOUR THIGHS.

HAVE A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING
