Midnight Madness

Midnight Madness (Ah! Earth Hour,2012) All this low tech by candle light Doesn't do much for my eyesight, But, pulled the breaker at midnight Having set up picnic delights. Marshmellows, grahams, choc'late--Right! Roasting them o're candle's light. Toasty charred outsides black as night Inside sticky sweet 'mellow--Bite! Ummmm! Another...the flame in sight Whoa! It's on fire! Whooosh! Now--Bite! Bag is half-empty...gr'ams wrapped tight... Flame still burns another one--Bite! Guess I'll try fix the next one right. Melting choc'late, 'mellow, gr'ams--Bite! Ummmm! It's squishing through...my tongue fights To catch each drop of choc'late mite! Oh!No! An empty bag! What fright! Yet, that's not all...It's near daylight! Not just one Hour for Earth's plight, But five were spent in my requite. Warm and fed...it was fun in spite Of low tech!...Maybe...more tonight? ~by deborah burch 4/26/2012 "Please try to go Beyond Earth Hour": There are many ways to conserve without really giving up anything... Share marshmellows over a candle for an hour on a weekend night with your children or grandchildren-- Flip the breaker for an Hour--each week and create memories while helping conserve... Be creative...Make life fun!!
