BELLS

From the smallest of handbells to bells that are heavy, bells of all types make a large bevy. Small bells are often the tinkling kind like decorative ones in some stores we find. There are ring-a-ling bells and bells that jingle like jingle bells ringing when merry folks mingle. Sleigh bells on horses evoke for me lovely white wonderland imagery. Other small bells women wear round their ankles. An alarm bell that wakens me, oh, how it rankles. There are waist bells the belly dancers often will wear while big bells on churches call people to prayer. Some bells sound randomly; others on queue. There are bike bells, school bells, and cow bells too. Of bells that chime melodies, there's more than a few. That's what the bells called Carillon do. Bell bottom jeans were used back in my day and Hell's bells is an expletive some say. The most famous bell, what might it be? I think it's the one that's called Liberty!
