Robert Frost - The Last Word of a Blue Bird

As told to a child

As I went out a Crow
In a low voice said, "Oh,
I was looking for you.
How do you do?
I just came to tell you
To tell Lesley (will you?)
That her little Bluebird
Wanted me to bring word
That the north wind last night
That made the stars bright
And made ice on the trough
Almost made him cough
His tail feathers off.
He just had to fly!
But he sent her Good-by,
And said to be good,
And wear her red hood,
And look for the skunk tracks
In the snow with an ax-
And do everything!
And perhaps in the spring
He would come back and sing."

I really don’t know how we did it..I slept on a screened in porch when I was a child...later on we had water cooled fans in the window...I went through college with no A/C.
Our first house after we married had my first central A/C.
Window units were used in our rental home...My mother and dad had an older home and used window units...but this was after I had married. Our first car did not have A/C. We came back to Texas from the Navy, San Diego and soon got a car with A/C!

Sweet poem, Soaring Feather..Pretty bluebirds!

I think the sex on an Arizona Beach has almost enough to make you believe..LOL

A Little Bluebird

A little bluebird sang his love song from on high. Was he singing for his mate or serenading the lovers as they walked on by in the street below. Before I could ask him, he flew off and across the sky; he did go taking his love song with him as he departed leaving several lovers rather broken hearted. 21 January 2008 David Harris

Just peachy!

Have you had it?

[Lady Jag]

I lived half my life without a/c and I’m glad it’s this half that I have it! LOL! Phew!

You hardly notice it when you’re a kid. We slept on the screened-in front porch, too. That was the fun part.
