What a lovely bunch! Or is that bananas? I think the term is cluster. But isn’t that chickens? No, that’s a peep, as in, don’t make one. If I don’t make a peep, will I become a Silent One? If I Speak(s) Volumes will I cluck like a cluster of chickens? If I do, will I be thought crazy as a hand of bananas? If I am an Unseeking Seeker, will I lose my chickens? Or is that marbles? I have to choose just one. Peep of chickens, cluster of coconuts, or hand of bananas? Forget the chickens and bananas, make a poem with the other one.

Not everyone likes "silly" my dear friend. But a breath of fresh air is refreshing for me! Many thanks! And for permission as well. I learned my lesson on this one. Still, I smiled while writing it. :)

A witty write, Linda! I can't use my name as a PS tag as yours, since growing up in the States with a last name like 'Kekaula' (kay-COW-la) and winning 'Golden Glove' for our small town dad who taught us--few daring black-eyed boys ended it, but I still won't hit girls who went Scott-Free! Enjoyed your light-humored massacre! Aloha, William Kekaula (lucky LADY)

LOL William. I see why you may not want to use it as a tag. :)) So nice to see you here. Your visits are always pleasing and warming with your sweet comments. Have a fine weekend my friend. :)
