The Sentinel

A lonely sentinel stood watch beside the welcoming abode,
For almost every hour since the last time that it snowed.
He’s been here in the darkness, and withstood the glaring sun,
It takes more than some cold to keep his work from getting done.

He’ll be here for as long as Winter makes a threat,
His confidence is total, he’s not been defeated yet.
With cool aplomb he smiles but he’s forgotten just one thing,
He’ll lose this pose and doff his clothes, and run away in Spring.

That's really pretty, Bob.

NICE presentation of Mr. President! God bless the Commander in Chief.

Thank you, dita. I should use this one more often I guess. :)

[JustAmy]

Excellent presentation, Billie.

I love the Pledge and Ping Graphics. Thank you for a wonderful, funny thread.

[JustAmy]

LOL

Well .... what can I say? You did it again. You hit another home run and kept me smiling and nodding in agreement.

[M Kehoe]

Good evening my FRiends. Another excellent thread and essay.

Methinks somebody should e-mail John's essay to Pinch. He might make John the new editor. Heck they need something done and quick, their stock price is going down the toilet.

Hi, Amy! Am glad you like the graphics, thank you. Everything going well for you, I hope!

[Billie]

Good evening, M Kehoe. I think John should be writing for someone fulltime. (he may be and we just don't know it though) :)

[JustAmy]

Hi, Billie.

Leaving soon for the School Christmas Program.

Marissa wants us to sit in the front this year. :)

Other than busy, everything is going great.

[Aquamarine]

This is a riot you two! Good work.

Bringing another one of Pookie's Toons over. :) 2007 should be an interesting year.

[Aquamarine]

Very impressive!

[NicknamedBob]

I stole the picture from Miss Feather, the snow from Meg, and the tables here and there. And of course I just made up the words.

[MEG33]

Glad you could use my framing !
Lovely poem and graphic, Bob.

[Majie Purple]

Finally made it here to read through/comment on today's Thread.
Catching up from my FR absence yesterday took all day of FR /on line time...Whew!
Fun but seemed to take F o r e v e r!

[Majie Purple]

Have fun @ the Christmas program You wrote of!/I read of.
;oD

[Diver Dave]

Would you bring the hoover and run through the house once again, like a week from today? :)

I'll pencil you in.

Tenderloins, eh? I'll be there. :)

[La Enchiladita]

As long as I stay around coastal California, that is all the snow I'll see... *Sigh*... lovely scene and poem, NNB.

[NicknamedBob]

Californians can drive to snow.

The rest of us have to drive in it.

[Aquamarine]

Billie should "steal" that for a Christmas pledge. Use Bob's font color and just add the pledge of allegiance under Santa.

[Billie]

Stopped back in for a minute and see you, Aqua. Thank you - wish you were still doing these, too! :)
