Leos

My life is filled with Leos;
Astronomically, that sign
Is described, if you believe it,
As compatible with mine.

Several people quite beloved
Have their birthdays in that range
Which, although I am a skeptic,
Doesn't really seem too strange.

So this Aries sends out wishes
To the Leos who await
Late July and most of August
For their chance to celebrate.

So sweet of you to love Leos. They can be such cuddly pussy cats! However, one of my least favorite women in the world is this sign. So that kind of ruined it for me. However, My stepbrother killed by a drunk driver was born Aug. 16, and he was my hero. I think it was the date of Elvis' death too, wasn't it? (it's also my anniversary!) I sure did enjoy this read.

I love the rhythm and rhyme here... a change from your usual style and most welcomed! Best wishes, Keith

I have a son and two sisters that are Leo's. Let's celebrate Ilene.
