Of Toads and Roads It is a lonely toad Upon a lonely road That jumps the other way. And there are some would say He leaps too far astray. Unknown his future way He bares his back a cross Yet jumps with inner force His goal a waterway A place of Shangri-la Where ever it may lie? A place that’s not too far For he would find forever’s wend A jump beyond old waters end |

Mike, Check on the weather report. It says rain and storms all day till Sunday. If that's the case I got second thoughts. I'll check again and call. Good for the toad not for the road. |

Bal's response sidetracked my mind into thoughts of you two hopping through the rain... as a mental image, that's definitely a keeper! LOL I like this very much, Seymour... sometimes we have to jump because to stay still is to die... but looking for a landing place can be pretty scary. *S* Stay dry and safe, guys... I'd sure hate to have you croaking. *G* [This message has been edited by suthern (02-22-2002 09:17 AM).] |

Come hang out at my lily pad my dear lonely little frog It may not be Shangri-la but it's heaven in a bayou bog We'll watch the clouds go by eat an occasional dragonfly ... We'll chat with the fish below we'll see just what wisdom they know. We can croak all day a game of leap frog we'll play and count on this, there will be a kiss cuz we all know you are really a prince. *winkiewinkie* [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (02-22-2002 09:37 AM).] |

Seymour - I gather from the replies that you might be going to Orlando. Be careful of them frogs there, they eat alligators! I see that you live in Florida, but they grow them bigger in the central part. Good write... BC [This message has been edited by Bill Charles (02-22-2002 11:03 AM).] |

(giggles in delight) Ooohhhhh...if you're going to Orlando, bundle up and be aware of the frogs there like Bill said! (giggles) This is sooooo cute, sweet friend, there's nothing like life on the open road, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
