Notes About The Poem

When we came out of Peachtree Cafe and got in our truck which was parked in a different place, we saw a dead tree behind The Family Medical Center...I asked Tommy is that a buzzard in the top of that dead tree behind the medical center..He said what dead tree then he said yes I see the tree but it isn't a buzzard but an owl for it is too light to be a buzzard..He decided to go over and see what it was but when we got to the traffic light which was much closer I said I believe it is just a limb..He went on over there and went in behind the medical building and we both said no that is just a dead limb..We had a good laugh..It was funny..LOL..

The Dead Tree

There was a buzzard who lived in a tree
Behind the medical shop, cute was he
Surveying our town
Such a funny clown
No, just dead limb the highest one you see

Two old people totally mistaken
No way this bird will eat any bacon
For it's not a bird
Just our vision blurred
Figure it out, yes, we are so shaken

You are old when nothing is fun enough to make you forget the weather. Good awareness Sara.

No matter how you cut it, one side is always rougher than the ther. A dead branch on a tree on the ground eventually will be and a cross was used to make so Son back to heaven His father could take. So who does bring back the bacon there in Georgia anyway? Jim Horn

James, I was writing about the fact that my husband and myself no longer can see as well as we once could see..We thought that a limb on a still standing dead tree looked like a bird on a limb on that tree to us..LOL..Sara

Jan, Until my husband had his hip surgery in September I was going to an eye doctor about every two months since I had surgery for cataracts, she says I have developed glaucoma so I have an excuse..In my left eye I have 20/200 vision and in my right eye I have good distance vision but no near vision..I guess my vision is not what they say it is..LOL..Sara
