Leaf me alone,
   let me be

free
to be
   me.

I am a chameleon...
   I need space to roam.

The world is my home, too.

Please leaf me be
   that I may help free you
of other creepy crawlies.

I am everchanging
   yet changeless.

Please leaf me free
   to roam our Earthly home.

How about instead of leafin' you alone, I leaf the way to a quiet little pub, where we can while the night away toppin' each other stories...

Okay. I'll make like a tree, but just for you.

P.S. Tell Dunc about the camel hair bikini!

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Oh forget it! I'll send him the picture you gave me.

I haven't heard the one about the camel hair bikini.  Thanks Larry!!  I've noticed references made to it, but never heard the story.  Maybe you could tell me now, Kacy....just to hold me over 'til I get there...

lol, well,  I think it all started a few years back, when I mentioned I had been 'traded' for some camels in a Bedouin tent in Sharm el Sheik, and had also attempted to ride a nasty tempered camel who spit at me; then someone complained of it being cold when it was only 32F and I said that was bikini weather in Alaska ...and then someone else wrote about a magic carpet ride...
and, well then, all of a sudden, I was the owner/wearer of a camel haired bikini it's all Larry's fault! LOL
I warned you it was a snooze story
(But Larry may have a slightly different version of this story. LOL)

You do have some tales to share.  The camel story is hilarious.  Ken

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

Aw Kacy, I would never tell the truth about this story. I love you too much to expose you.
