My Dragonfly 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...

There's a fairy sitting by the pool making fairy wings. from gossamer
and spider webs and silk worm's silk and things.
In summer-time they have a ball; the elves and gnomes come one and all.
The music's played in trumpet flowers; the ball goes on for hours and hours. As dawn begins to break and people start to rise,
the fairies clear their tables for they are very wise.
They know NOT to leave things around to show folk where they dwell.
For maybe curious folk will want to live with them as well.
But fairy-land is fairy-land and humans can't intrude.
For THEY are known to be polite and some of US are rude.
Don't go in search of fairies. Don't cause these ones to grieve.
Let's not disturb their habitat. Be humble and believe.
We've all seen sparkling cobwebs and flowers of every hue
The sweet, sweet honey nettle and buttercups filled with dew.
Remember there are fairies running all around, but sure enough not
one of them ever has been found.
Let your imagination, the wonder of make-believe, take you to a wonderland grown-ups have had to leave.
So if you should see cobwebs, sparkling dew and fairy rings
Remember that somewhere close by they're making fairy wings.

Beautiful graphic, and sweet poem.
Now I found this for a funny bone poem.
A Scotchman Whose Name Was Isbister
by Ellis Parker Butler
A Scotchman whose name was Isbister
Had a maiden giraffe he called “sister”
When she said “Oh, be mine,
Be my sweet Valentine!”
He just shinned up her long neck and kissed her.

The Scotsman
By Brian Bowers
A Scotsman clad in kilt, left the bar one evening fair
One could tell by the way he walked he drank more than his share.
He fumbled 'round till he could no longer keep his feet
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
(chorus)
Ring-di-diddle-i-didi-o
Ring-di-diddle-i-o
(Last line of verse)
About that time two young and lovely girls happened by
One says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
See yon sleeping Scotsman so proud and handsome built
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt.
(chorus)
They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be.
And lifted up his kilt just an inch so they could see
And there behold for them to view, beneath his Scottish skirt.
Was nothing more than god had graced him with upon his birth.
(chorus)
They marveled for a moment, one said we must be gone
Lets leave a present for our friend, before we move along.
They left a blue silk ribbon, tied into a bow
Around the bonny star the Scot’s kilt did lift and show
(chorus)
The Scotsman woke to nature's call, and stumbled towards a tree.
Behind the bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees.
In a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes
Och, lad I don’t know where you've been but I see you've won first prize!
(chorus)

That YouTube rendition of Flower of Scotland was beautiful. It caused me to listen to more bagpipe bands till I got carried away. And then the phone rang and the motorhome was ready to be picked up after its inspection.
We hope to spend a couple days down the Cape next week. Weather has been cranky till the latest forecast.

You Tube is really neat.
Sure hope the weather warms next week for your trip.
To: Soaring Feather
Yeah, YouTube is turning in to a video googler. You can find just about everything.
I don’t care so much about the temperature as I do about rain. I prefer cool weather. At the mo, it looks like rain Wednesday. It’d be great if that weekend was good. The weather pattern would have to change.
