A Whistle day Have you ever had a whistle day? One of those days where no matter what happens you just sail right through it, usually the sky is blue and the air clean and crisp, like an apple and just as sweet. That’s the way today was, and even though I was looking and couldn’t find where I needed to go, I kept on looking and eventually the curb slowed and the numbers corrected themselves, and the gate was open, even the dog was small and brown and licked my awwww. So, this whistle it just sounded sharp and keen across the sky, the trees were perfect outlines for zapping back and forth without touching a leaf or disturbing a pine cone and I just thought to write the notes down so I’d remember how the tune went you know, so I could play it again some cold December rain and know that no matter how bumpy, I’m talking here about the road the path that has no sign posts, the whistle can come back around and touch me, see. |

When you are really bored and have tons of free time, maybe you could whistle a happy tune for me.  Nice poem. |
