I Had A Dream Last Night...


I had a dream last night. First let me begin by saying
that without my GPS I am directionally challenged.
LOST
And it's broken.
So this dream was about being lost.
In a storm.
Going up and down roads.
Raining cats and dogs.
Up and down streets.
Can't find my way.
I end up by the ocean.
I love the ocean and the beach.
It's gray, dreary, cloudy.
I'm lost.
Windshield wipers going.
Hundreds of ducks everywhere.

mmmm hmmmmm
DUCKS


swimming
floating
blowing
walking
quacking
DUCKS
Then I see a man scoop up a handful.
In my mind I think - these poor babies need help!
I pull my car around the corner where the water isn't as deep
in the road and I open the door of my car...
in pile the ducks...
every shape, size and color.
Now I have ducks on the floor, the seats, my lap,
all staring at me totally silent.
The storm stops suddenly.
No rain.
No wind.
Just ducks...in my car.
Silence.
They're staring at me.
The duck on my lap looks me in the eye.
and I hear
 Grrrrrrrrr!
And I waked myself up!
THE END!

The Freedom Of A Puddle Pouncing!

whether it we pooch or playfriend... i firmly believe in splashing in puddles!
i don't really like to use an umbrella when it rains
i love storms
thunder
roaring winds
aren't rain boots fun to look at?
i think umbrellas are kinda cool looking...lol
this morning as I was getting in my car for work at 6 am
a dad and his little boy (probably 18 months) were heading out to day care
the dad said "look puddles! want to jump in them?"
and he did. with joy, spirit, gusto, messily, dripping
and dad said "look, here's another one! here's a bigger one!"
now how cool is that!
Rain bashing, rain crashing,
In the puddles, children splashing,
Mother's tongue has started lashing,
Everyone is wet!
Rain slopping, rain stopping,
In the puddles, children hopping,
Mother's hands have started mopping,
Everyone, I bet!
Sun waking, sun breaking,
In the puddles, children quaking,
Mother's arms have started shaking,
Everyone, she'll net!
Sun applying, sun drying,
In the puddles, children crying,
Mother's breath is now a sighing,
Everyone's upset!
Sun gleaming, sun scheming,
In the puddles, children steaming!
Mother's smile, now is beaming,
Everyone's her pet!
