Seal Hunter Blues

A seal hunter walked on a frozen lake,
not knowing that the ice would break.
He drowned and then he froze,
sunk down before he rose. 
A passing seal would say, "ooh, that's nice",
as a face peered up from below the ice.

My, my, David. I detect a bit of cruel streak there. ~ Sammy the Seal

When did we fall apart? I do wonder what your Christmas plans might be, where you'll be hanging on THE day. Whatever you do or don't do, know you are blessed and valued!!!
