Oh those who are perusing!

Brilliant Benjamin Franklin
Lit the skies with his lightning rod kite
Self-perceived ladies' man usually got his way
But at least our US national bird is not the turkey!...

Not In the Bible, Though -
God helps those who help themselves
Hidden here a kernel of truth: "no free lunch!"
But if I seek a shelter in real or fancied homelessness
"A stitch in time saves nine," - not my bikini (thanx a bunch)...

Premium Member An Eyebrow-Raising Key To Electricity
Benjamin Franklin, to prove lightning held electricity,
Flew a kite in a storm; attached to the kite cord was a key.
Though some thought this dangerous experiment was a bit odd,
Franklin sparked more inquiries and invented the lightning rod!

Does wearing a mask make you ill?
Are you a social distancing hater?
Then imagine how you'd feel
Being put on a ventilator

Premium Member THANKFUL FOR THE ABILITY TO READ AND WRITE
Today I’m thankful for my ability to read…and write…
with the hope that in my life…these two keep reuniting…

That I have been able to write something worth reading…
or to have done something worth writing

And my thanks to Benjamin Franklin whose writings I have read…
And to his particular quote…that put this thought inside my head....

Ice Cream Delight!
National Ice Cream Day    July 15th


Benjamin Franklin was the very one.
In the year of 1771.
While in France dessert did come.

What is this wonderful delight!?
"Ice cream dear sir,
I hope you like."

With quill and ink
And much insight.
He acquired the recipe that night.

And sent it back across the sea.
To share Ice Cram
With you and me!...

Premium Member Benjamin Franklin Puppet
A Benjamin Franklin puppet walked into our living room.
He wanted to use our computer, in particular, needed to zoom.
I said to my husband “what do you think?”
“I believe he is lost,” he said. This is not a skating rink.

Because Benjamin Franklin Puppet had put on some skates.
He was zipping and slipping around our hoes and garden rakes.
But why are they in your living room? A snoopy neighbor said.
This is not easily answered, so I went back to my bed....
