Perception

To a kitten a shoe's a lethal weapon To a toddler, Dad is giant, awesome To some folks spiders are just plain fearsome ~ Others think they're little bugs to step on

Hello Gershon … I can add a fly. We can swallow a large portion of acceptable food, but get a fly in our throat; we gag, cough, and splutter. It's how our minds work - thanks Gershon - Lindsay

Very perceptive my friend. It is quite astonishing how perceptions can change over time. Great write Gershon. Ron :)

My vision's blurred, my gait unsteady, and my head clousy these days, but I perceive that Ron Thompson has favored me with a comment. Let him know that I thank him if you would be so kind, sir. Thank you! Perception. Bah!... LOL. ~ Gershon

Yes and perceptions can change over time. Dads shrink as we grow and then they increase again when we have families of our own. I like your poem Gershon. Also thanks for your visit.

You've heard of the 'Incredible Shrinking Dad' then?! Thanks, Richard! Best wishes, Gershon

Oh, no! I am thinking how much trouble you would have if you came to my house in October. I have a spider's web that is gorgeous between the house and the garage every October, and I let no one touch it! It is gorgeous after the rain!

The web can stay; the spider goes. LOL. Guess you can't have one without the other though... Thanks, Caren! :) Gershon
