A Slice of Derring-Do

Tonight feels just right though the moon is uptight Still the stars do shine bright There's plenty of light And perhaps way out there roams a big grizzly bear a wily fox on the prowl or a macabre screech-owl... No, I tell myself, do not be afraid only cowards mistakes haven't made I crumple up my paper, put down my pen sneak under the covers ~ fast asleep before ten!

That's makes two people who can relate to this one, ilene: You and I... Of course, I wrote it, so you'd think that I can relate to it... ~ Slightly Daffy on Thursdays

You, my friend, came up with the perfect title for this little ditty, i.e, 'Run for cover.' Should have thought of it. Are you available for title consultations?! What are your hours? What's your fee? Any '2 for 1' sales available... Thanks, Kim! :) gw

Gershon, Geoffrey has a good point. Fear can find you just as easily under the covers. -Richard

Fear can find me?! Ha, ha. I'm in big trouble then. I've gotten a little bigger during the pandemic. Now I'm the like the 800 lb. gorilla in the room, I'm 'afraid.' ~ Out of here, gw

Sounds like your derring went! But don’t forget the monster under the bed. Nice one, Gershon.

Yes, indeed. I'd say that I have 'derring-don't.' lol. Thank you for the tip about the monster, Geoffrey. ~ Gershon
