This really made me smile Maureen. The ears sprouting silk made me think of a popular tv commercial where they are touting the uses of a small razor to get the hair out of your ears. lol I really like this a lot. Thanks bunches for this one. God Bless, JB

Love the formation of your brief poem! So corny somehow balances with sprouting silk. Liked it a lot!

Thanks Kim :) Corn silk is actually a medicinal powerhouse! I cook kidney care diets for a few dogs and have actually cured one dogs' owners' incontinence issues with corn silk tea. A piece of Native wisdom we've almost lost. Chears dear! xomo

This made me smile. I like it a lot. My ears need a few more years before sprouting silk :)

This was very creative and a bit humorous but I think my ears have sprouted silk a few times as well.
