Because it's pouring buckets..!!  When life seems too befuddlin' Take time to do some spuddlin' Go splashin' while it's puddlin' Go barefoot in the rain. When things are poor to middlin' And both your thumbs are twiddlin' Stand on your head while fiddlin' For smi-l-in' out loud!! When all about are snigglin' Get all your toes a'wigglin' Then soon you will be gigglin' Your doldrum's sure to wane. When things get willy-nilly Do something brash and silly Eat ice-cream with your chili For smi-l-in' out loud! When days are feelin' maudlin Watch baby ducklings waddlin' There's always one that's dawdlin' That's no time for disdain. When life is too befuddlin' Make time to go out spuddlin' That's splashin' while it's puddlin' For smi-l-in' out loud!!! Waft every crest upon your destined sea Embrace the Wave of Serendipity Lest its elusive arcane ecstasy Refurl with sail for all eternity Nancy Ness [This message has been edited by Nan (edited 07-10-2001).] |

You KNOW I read this to the third-graders in April...the grins were big and wide and produced "Aluminum Smiles!"...so it's a hit, at least here in Kansas {~,^} ... and everywhere! Meanwhile, I'll go grab a bucket and join ya! [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 07-10-2001).] |

If you ever, ever think what you write doesn't matter, I wish you could see me right now, this is the first laugh and smile I have experienced in over two weeks Nan, thank you for breaking the shroud I was under. This was just fantastic, and I shall think of you when the Vancouver rains start and my Granddaughter and I go spuddlin. Thank you for the smile~ If you have a choice to sit down or dance, dance! |
