Warnings

Mosquitoes buzz to let you know That they're about to sting And snakes with rattles shake them So you know the pain they'll bring. Skunks release their special scent To warn you, "Stay away!" And bears stand up and growl to keep Their predators at bay. There are certain creatures, though, Who silently attack, The way that certain humans do Who stab you in the back.

How true your words, Ilene. Whatever happened to the "golden rule"? The present state of things was foreign to me when growing up. I can overlook and forgive a skunk, but not certain humans. Thanks for the stop by. / M

Warnings are fine if you heed them. But how can you tell what proceeds them. And we cannot control the unknown. So it's nice when you have a cell phone.

Yes, it seems Karma arranges for some bedbugs and assassin bugs to be reborn as humans that invariably are attracted to politics. Thanks for the warning! Aloha! Rico

Some humans are not fit to be called that. Thought provoking verse Ilene.

At least you can see the creatures that are going to attack you but humans they sure can be venomous when they stab you in the back Ilene. Sadly this is something most of us experience in the course of our lives:-( hugs Jan xx
