Our soldiers have been facing the same thing in Iraq. Would it surprise you to learn I had a poem for this occasion as well? It refers to the shadows.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Hopefully someone is giving them LOTS of water.

LOL No that does not surprise me a bit. I think you have written a poem for every thing. I loved the elephant one from last night.

Care to share it?

I thought you'd never ask! (It's one of my favorites too.)


Home

I’ve never been far South enough to stand,
Where shadows melt in puddles ‘stead of roamin’.
Even when the Sun had journeyed Northward,
It’s noontime high still made of me a gnomon.

Not much of a worldwide traveler am I,
I’ve only traipsed around one continent.
Not that I haven’t had the wanderlust,
I think it’s safe to blame time management.

Too often I found places, that felt like home to me.
Where hearts could put down roots,
And in the sun, and wind, and rain,
My branches sent out shoots.

So I grew quite attached to them,
And stayed around a while.
And that’s why many a year went by,
While I journeyed not a mile.

I do not worry about it,
My travels come to me.
I get a lot of mileage from,
The spinning skies I see.

Turtles and snails have their homes with them,
Whether moving or lying still.
I have my home resting on my back,
As I lie on a grassy hill.

As Georgie Jessel once said, "Hey! I know this guy!"

Of course, when I knew him, he had gray fur.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

That is beautiful. I have never had a place like that. Maybe that is what all the traveling is about. I am still looking for a place that feelis like home.

[NicknamedBob]

Thanks.

When I was in the Army, one of the things I said then was, "Anywhere I hang my helmet is home."


Actually, I was talking about my motorcycle helmet, but it still works.

I just ran into a wall in my brain, so I'm going to bed. (*hugs* Teddy!)

'Night, Face!

If all goes well (in one sense, in that I'm having a good time touring Cape Canaveral) I won't be back until after your normal departure tomorrow... but maybe I'll be able to scout out a new home and move us tomorrow night.

[tuliptree76]

That's okay, Bob. I wasn't too chatty last night, either. And I don't know how much longer I'll be able to stay up tonight - I'm exhausted.

[King Prout]
