My Shoes My shoes are made of hide of pride The soles are but humility I live within a tough abide And test my shoes ability. The sands of time have worn away And scuffed the hide of pride but My soles have lasted to this day The hard of tide and rough provide I also have a staff of aid To fit my hand where e’er I go It helps me balance weary grades To see me through a day of woe Between the two I am well fit To meet the glean of scenery That, along with common wit I walk the green of greenery And stars that are my canopy Is also my calliope? |

Seymour~ 'That, along with common wit I walk the green of greenery' Well, don't you just KNOW I'm chuckling ... I'm sure you're much too kind to call Balladeer a 'nit wit' as you stroll the golf course greens !! Okay ... so I loved it and had to 'play' with the scene it painted on second read~ LOL ... you get 'em tiger~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

A belated hello and good morning, Sy. While I was on vacation, there were times my internet did not let me play...but there I was in C-A gold, and thoughts of you did weigh... so I spent some time with Martie, dear, a poet of your delight; she allowed me play, and then to stay throughout a day and night... I watched as Martie, with her charm, a peacock fed and she disarmed any fear he might have had to fly; he was such a handsome guy! So hurry back to Passions, dear, that I might share with you some cheer, and photos, too, will be here forthwith, to serve you up a poet's dish!  |
