When life seems too befuddlin' Take time to do some spuddlin' Go splashin' while it's puddlin' Go barefoot in the rain. When things are poor to middlin' And both your thumbs are twiddlin' Stand on your head while fiddlin' For smi-l-in' out loud!! When all about are snigglin' Get all your toes a'wigglin' Then soon you will be gigglin' Your doldrum's sure to wane. When things get willy-nilly Do something brash and silly Eat ice-cream with your chili For smi-l-in' out loud! When days are feelin' maudlin Watch baby ducklings waddlin' There's always one that's dawdlin' That's no time for disdain When life is too befuddlin' Make time to go out spuddlin' That's splashin' while it's puddlin' For smi-l-in' out loud!!!

I do like knowing that Reflections will carry with it a theme for ALL ages, just as the site does... So, guess what? Yep, you guessed it! |

Nan, you've put a huge smile on my face this miserably snowy day! What a great poem. Now if you could just come and shovel ... Hugs, Marti 'I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars.' |

You think it is because I know you so well that I can almost hear you reciting this one out loud! LOL, now you know this is MY personal favorite, all sonnets, and "proper" poetry aside - this one rocks! |

This really is something else... really, I've never read something quite like this poem. And I've never heard of "spuddlin'" before. Maybe I should get out more, eh? Well, you've really shown your ability to be unique, Nan... and that is itself a reason for this to earn a page in Reflections. Think I'll do some spuddlin'... uh... later.  Parasite "Faith" means the will to avoid knowing what is true. |

Splishin' and a Splashin'... Thank you all.. This one was inspired by one of my students.. She made up the word.. I told her that if she didn't write a poem about it - I would.. She didn't...  |
