Homing Magpie-pigeon

Calling Home















I love my bike, I must confess
But reading maps, well, somewhat less.
Lost, alone,
Aha! A phone!
“Please Mummy, bring my GPS!”

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

Take your GPS and find Magpie Tales for real poems and stories!

  3. Maps and compass. Never would have made it through the mountains, and my brother-inlaw, the former Eagle Scout. Now I can rely on my iPhone, or my wife who hates GPSes and prefers maps. Funny take on the prompt!

    1. Indeed, my thought too Isabel.

      Good to catch up read some of your recent posts Stafford. Just this one quick comment for days and days of your work. Sorry. Of course, you're probably off with another writing already.

      Isabel, now let's tell ET to phone home

  12. I've been surfing online more than three hours today, but I never found any fascinating article like yours. It is beautiful worth sufficient for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content material as you did, the web can be a lot more helpful than ever before.
