I Do Windows My fantasy is ladder stood And I, the one on top. Down below, but close at hand The eyes that hold, nonstop. To watch me do them, all in time Those windows, forty-seven. There in thoughts, as I pass ten Now leaning towards eleven. Who'd have thought the trick there is In attention's holding tight As I pretend a slip or fall And you reach up with might. Strong in hand to set me up, A balance act to follow. Now I'm onto twenty-one and find it hard to swallow That you are there, still down below Feeding eyes the scene. Who does windows anyway? Just me, when on caffeine. Well, onto thirty, and past the mark Of halfway, dare to wonder. Who is this, that waits below , Smiling from down under? Sighing now I'm almost done, the last of forty-seven. Window's outlook from the roof that dream...my tree of heaven. Yes, I do windows, just for you to feed your eyes their seen. Me on top and you below, with thoughts of in between. M  "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

You are one of the few to write something I love I really like this and I love the words, the imagination and the twist of the words to deliver reality and the real life Dave |

Thank you Dave, for a wonderful response... leaving me ~smiling~ M Donna, good afternoon I really don't drink caffeine (or not of my own knowledge) or I would fly through the chore of windows. Actually I am recaulking some to keep the bitter cold out and while on the ladder was thinking about "doing windows" Hope all is well and that your holidays were pleasant hugs M |

well M, it is important to make sure those cracks are filled correctly. One has to position the gun at an angle and make sure to keep contact with the tip and develop a rythm as they move along the void... if you don't do it right one ends up with unsatisfactory results and possibly having to do the job over again.. hope your caulking was effective... it does help stave off the cold... |

hey..I do do windows remember..and yes I cut the tip, angled it just right and filled in the gap...then used a sponge to clean off the extra...hey I have lived in this old house for 24 of its 103 years... It is like a baby to me...and is always crying for more to be done and redone...and redone. Now when I get to redoing the roof...that will be something to watch!! M |

Loved the (un)intentional subtext connotations in this write, Maureen. As for me... I DON'T do Windows -- MAC, MAC, MAC, MAC, MAC!  -MVS You CAN make a difference: |

You repair shutters AND do windows? Sounds like spring is in the air at your house! McLean |
