Heavenly signs and migratory birds.

Heavenly sign










Lost and desp’rate, frozen through,
And God, that’s all I get from you?
What I propose is
Just like Moses,
Send a burning bush, thank you!

................................................

Or....

Sign of the Climes.

When birdies escape from the snow,
Seeking a climate sublime,
How do they know where to go?
“They look for a Heavenly sign!”




















Oops! These are the pictures intended-


















Oh really!

  7. Thanks for the numerous laughs as I looked over your last few posts. Yes, Florida's "weather" is certainly a big draw for many snow birds... at least that's the reason my father in law gives. :)

  10. What about a heavenly sign for the gals? like a nice bronzed Aussie lifesaver? Now that's my type of sign.

    Fabulous poems as always, Stafford!

  12. I agree with Selma. How about a picture of some gorgeous men?

    I loved the rhyme "propose is...Moses."

  18. Fitness buffs who work out almost every day will burn the THC out
    of their fat cells quicker than someone who never exercises.
    Under each test, every employee has varying degrees of privacy protection and the employer
    has differing duties. Detoxifying products
    require at least an hour to work.
