I Don'T Give a Rat's Tail
This is the tale of a soul reaching out to others,
but receiving a cold shoulder wherever she goes.
Words and phrases
are misconstrued,
meanings attached
which cloud the issues
which she wishes
to address.

He rode a bicycle around offering rides to everybody
Touched is what grandma called him
He had a low mental IQ I was told

His was off the charts – he loved everyone he met
And

Im Your Huckleberry
I’m your huckleberry
Always makes me smile
Since Val Kilmer used it in the move Tombstone

I have the same reaction
And I smile

Use it in your milkshake,
to make a smoothie,
top off a sundae or
crown a banana split.
Drop a dollop on a cracker
and plop it in your mouth.
Put it on a plate,
mixed with tiny chunks
of real creamery butter,
then spoon onto a
piping hot biscuit.
Rich, dark, tantalizing . . .
one of life's
