To Hubby on Falling From Roof

You cannot die today There is a leak in the sink A squeak from the front door A hole in the roof And I haven't said I love you You cannot die today The lawn needs mowing The bedroom needs painting The taxes, the taxes, oh what do I do? And I haven't said I love you You cannot die today The mower is... Sign in to see full entry.

how to lick a rainbow

It's raining And I am a child again It's raining And my nose is getting wet because I am, face upturned to wet sky, licking raindrops It's raining And my feet are wet Stomp! Splash! Jump!
