--- - really crazy lit l a D y --- - m0rdecai -- B l U 3 r c a ! June 97 As I ponder my humble surroundings taking stock of my assets and needs I m pleased with all of my holdings the fruit of my well-planted seeds For here within my environ I need not the help of a soul For I ve cultured my every requirement right here in my sparkling fishbowl In a lush and fertile meadow it spreads its roots and grows Withstanding every hardship this splendid budding rose Standing tall and proud amid the rest it has but one sure course As it lends to us its beauty with an undeniable force Cast not aside phenomenon or ideas you can t embrace For our universe is infinite who knows what shares our space Some mysteries have stood the test and through time remain concealed Some riddles keep their secrets and will never be revealed But just because you cannot see or your mind just can t conceive Can you truly state emphatically that you really don t believe Remembering days filled with laughter neath the sultry southern skies No worries to distract me no conflicts to compromise Bejeweled by chinaberries with a hand full of dandelion rings Listening to the bumblebee s rhythm while the jaybirds and sparrows sing Seeking out the perfect mollypops to fashion a basket of sorts Or filling the walkway with chalk lines to engage in my favorite of sports Casting a line of wild onion and reeling in a monstrous catch Plucking juicy wild cherries and scuppernongs or plums in a blackberry patch Sipping honeysuckle nectar the scent of wisteria in the wind I cherish the days of my childhood for they ll never come again Greetz to all in RcA keep it up you guys (and Kit ) rewl ! and an extra hug to Mordecai for the header thanks LB
