Be Advised

BE ADVISED There is this spider who lives in a shoe His head is yellow body blue He’s very mean has sharp teeth too Stick in your foot and he’ll bite you This would be for the Mother Goose contest if there was one. Hardy, harr, harr

Sneaky dirty rotten spider, Daver!:) They're so tricky, they're starting to spin in high gear around here. This is a fun write, it would have been sort of cute if it didn't have fangs!! I'm happy you're on the mend...oh those hot and humid days aren't always easy to take! Supposed to go up to 42 degrees (celcius) tomorrow. I think that's over 100 degrees? It's breezy here tonight though...whewww.. Keep getting stronger...we need your midas touch! love, Mikki :)

hey, I really LIKES this one, Daver. GIVE US MORE. One time for a contest of PD's, I did a whole bunch of mother goose haiku- parodies of mother goose. It was sure fun. I can see you doing that too!! You are such a GREAT guy to read so many of my poems when I never have time but to see one or two of yours. Thanks for all you do here at Soup to give attention to all the many poets you enjoy. LUv, Andrea

As per your question, the lone tree that was not bulldozed would be in the center of a mall. We have malls here with gardens or trees in the center. Such places only make me feel bad that nature's gifts had been destroyed to build the mall. Maybe my poem is too abstract for the contest...

LOL You clever, clever boy! I know I'd be running from this spider as you described it. Got a great laugh, Daver. Love, Caroln
