Open To New Ideas

Open to new ideas Where to flop my ears Just lost below Where it does not flow My life is in tears I desire to learn more To get above the floor To win some dough Wake up to the snow And allow the wind to roar I wish to find all of this In a bellied-up dish Where we go Just go slow Maybe I’ll get my wish Will you all help me In getting a word for free So I can yelp And get some help To finally climb that tree Russell Sivey

Beautiful, Russell ... I'll help in any way I can, though I fear I'm not much use to anyone ... nor worth much. Blessings.

Hi Russel, I enjoyed this write from start to finish. It had a nice flow and great rhymes. Do you need a ladder? I have one "handy" if you do:-) Alexis
