Question ????

In the garden next door is a little white shed.
On the roof, of the little white shed, is a small barbecue grill.
In this little grill is a box of matches and a small can of lighter fluid.
It sits outside in rain or shine no matter what kind of weather.
The rain may be hard,
with hail the size of golf balls,
but the little grill does not move.
Not an inch, not a mile, this little grill will not move.

The snow may be five feet deep, but still,
the little grill atop the little white shed can be seen-
For it will not move-
Not an inch, not a mile, this little grill will not move.

The wind strong and wild(a tornado)huffs and puffs
and swirls about taking up trees, blowing down houses-
But,but, I do tell you-
The little small grill with the small box of matches and
lighter fluid do not move.
Not an inch, not a mile, this little grill will not move.

Please answer my question
How!I would like to know
This is a mystery to me.
I am in a state of confusion, I am amazed.
How can this be?
Please answer my question
Why Do They Not Move ?

Your determination to use it soon again keeps it nailed to the spot!

Well, you made me smile with this one. It's a lesson too .... there are such things or even people who don't move, who have a secret force, even in the mightiest storms.

Love, Margherita

This is a true story.
All winter long that silly thing did not move no matter how high the winds.No glue either. I seen the man next door walk up to it and just pick it up. Just one of those myteries I guess.
Bon-Bon
