Summer Solstice Song
In honor of the Summer Solstice celebrated last Sunday, June 21st...
Longest day,
shortest night.
Sun at noon,
highest height.
Summer heat,
day is long.
Frozen treat,
solstice song.
Longest day,

Summer heat,
day is long.
Frozen treat,

Super Dad!
I love
my dad
with all my heart.
He's my hero -
brave,
strong,
and smart.

Happy Father's Day!

Don't Sit On Me
Praying Mantis on bench outside my husband's office. |
don't sit here.
I'm praying.
Can't you see
my prayerful position?
My legs are joined,
my expression solemn?
I'd close my eyes,
if I could.
What?
You don't think
I am a spiritual insect?
Did you hear that nasty rumor
about me eating
my mating partner's head?
It only happens about
30% of the time!
And it is only for his
nutritional proteins.
A girl's gotta eat, you know!
I do lay the eggs -
300 is no small feat!
So, please move along.
I pray thee,
don't sit on me.
