The Drinking Fountain

Let's not make less of it than warrants.
A pedestal
From which a tongue
Fluent in a language
Known best to the Bedouin
As he journeys through the Arabian Desert,
Within a city park
Belongs.

Interloper.....that's just because you are from Texas....where they cater to fence sitters.

Now Bob.... you know them Texans aren't fence sitters... they quit that when the splinters got to poking them too bad... so they went into politics instead... ( laughing)

Hope I didn't offend with my edits... just don't know when to keep my thoughts to myself sometimes...

Ron...of course not. Not at all. I need all the help I can get, especially now...with this huge drought I'm in. PS Laughing about the fences...and missing our previous "leader". Bob

Wise words. Here's hoping for rain.
