Of Mud and Straw I made a hut of mud and straw It melted in the rains downpour And I am wet to the skin Without as well as within A house to keep the wolf away I’m sure would come for me some day And built the house as well I could At least as well as understood But then he knew the use of pain Of acid in each drop of rain And the house just melted down To crown me with a mud straw crown Today I live a house of brick Built with mortar very thick And learned to be a butterfly When ere the sun is hot and dry? I named my house My Shangri-la And wish each night upon a star. |

Seymour I feel as I know you, your hand and heart have reached out and touched me many many times. Your writing is incredibly beautiful carrying within it an indefinable quality that shows the worth of the man. We all have our favourite writers, Krissy and Mum both have you in their top five, I have you in my top two. Your writing is incredibly descriptive and well presented. YOU are one of the stars that light the heavens. BTW I love this piece of writing Its Mushy’s youngest daughter here<> Emma    Eternity, stands laughing at old time |

That wolf is one you need not fear ... not as long as Randy & I are near. He'll not harm your chinny chin chin for we will huff and puff and do him in. A wolf is no match for a dragon and butterfly His butt is of thatch and we've got a firefly sigh. ROFL *winkiewinkie*  |

If you can hang your hat there and if it is your heart's abode then it is strong as strong can be for a wolf can't punch in Sy's gate code Enjoyed, as always! |
