A Little Birdie Whispered In My Ear

"Time to take the Soup off the stove," a little birdie whispered in my ear: 'Tis the Sabbath Queen that's drawing near." But the Soup's not done, I dared to say in an unpoetic, defiant way The little birdie just looked at me with pity, but not with sympathy Shook his head and moved his beak: "Sabbath's come; the Soup is done. ~ So's all your work for this week!"

Love those "little birdie's"; especially as I get older and more forgetful.

You're not getting older, my dear; your long-term memory's just getting better! Smiles, Gershon

Gershon, So wise the little birdies of our lives. “The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.” -Willie Nelson

I depend on this birdie for important news. Often more reliable than the web. LOL. Thanks, Richard. :) gw

Hi Gershon. The little birdie is a wise one. Did his friend Bubbly Bee offer any advice :) Thanks for sharing this
