Sunshine, ice cream, swimming, watermelon-heaven

Summer-time good things sent ole Lucky No. seven

 

Freedom half over and we’ve hardly just begun

“California Girls!’ The Beach Boys harmony-sung

 

School-“daze” an on-purpose forgotten nightmare

Summer-love in mind with coquette maiden-fair

 

Family vacation to the mountains with pleasure

Add blue ocean-trip, a white sand beach treasure

 

Lawns to manicure, tasty bar-b-que, time bidin’

Hot day bakin’, eve partyin’, convertible ridin’

 

Independence-celebrate into summer cool-night

Bombs bursting in air, rockets rocking-in-flight

 

Educate “city”-girl on snipe-hunt romantic full-moon

Promise! Kiss ’er again under ’morrow’s sun-noon

 

Twilight at the drive-in, park in far-yonder last-row

Who cares the movie? Sparkin’ car-wonder fast-show

 

Afternoon thunderstorm! A display on remote ole Fox Lake

Clubhouse cozy-warm fire affords romance-liberty dare take

 

Summer-Lovin’ attune with Mother Nature-game

No matter the season, devotion-emotion still same

 

And, recall infinity space of eternal youth-expectation

Then, chance experience liberty challenge-emancipation

 

Just hint adventure scant-sign upon vacant-trace

Wild variance unencumbered exacerbate-pace

 

Oh! From then to now here on approach to where---Unafraid!

"Rainbow"-tears!

Rainbow-tears!

 

Passes quick cooling yonder summer thunder-shower

Brightens color-hue Mother Nature’s fragrant-flower

A rainbow-arch graces blue-sky beauty vision-tower

 

“Daddy! That darned old-rain really ruined our ballgame.”

“We can play catch in the garage; it’ll be about the same.”

“I like the pretty color-rainbow; there’s no one to blame.”

 

Lettie drew an arch in the air before her innocent little-face

Brother-Travers wished the rain had gone some other place

Dad viewed a soft-hue blended-sweep tint-arc subtle-trace

 

“Oh! Isn’t the rainbow just so beautiful?” Lettie said.

 “Well! If it had to rain, I reckon I like the pretty red.”

“Let’s appreciate the rain and be Thankful, instead.”

 

A pretty color-arch expands-wide across a cerulean sky

Innocent-children all believe leprechauns can really-fly

To live under a Rainbow-prism is a blessing by-and by

 

Rainbows! One Wild-ride adventure-venue slippery-slide

Butterflies! “Flutter-bys” delight garden-flowers Joy-abide

Unicorns! Equine Magic-friends to the eternal-cosmos ride

 

Dare! Embrace child-innocent Fantasy-Love to be quite bold

Live! Love! Laugh! Enjoy a life-span complete conjured-told

A Measure! Treasure! Pleasure! “End-of-the-rainbow” gold

 

“Daddy? Look! My rainbow is sad; its arch is flat? Why!”

“Yeah! Dad! Rainbow color-tears are falling from the sky?”

“Children! It’s all okay! Sacred-Rainbow no one can deny.”

 

’Tis heaven-covenant guaranteed “Beauty” sacred-belongs to-all

Love-Pure in-spirit rings crystal-clear tender-hearts satiated-call

None have grievance-license to stain any shared-Love evil-recall

Foster sacred-Peace eschew-participate in any-and-all evil desecration

Celebrate! Life! & Love! Rainbows! Butterflies! & Unicorns! 

Amen! 

Fair!---Law!...Justice!

 Center!?

Everybody enjoys a sense-of-"Fair"!

Sometimes the "Law"-prescription" is un-fair!

"Intent" often has a profound influence on "Justice"!

Often---the distinction of "Right"...is "Wisdom" of Judge & Jury!

Amen!

3004-Posts! Wow!

3,000+ Blog-posts! Wow! 

So?---Another milestone!...Lot's of words! Wow! "8"+-years!!! Hmm!

Hopefully!---Many more-to-come!...I'll sure-enough try! Reckon-so!

Let's see?---Oh! But where to begin?...Maybe? Just continue-on? Yeah!

Considering going Professional?---Nah!?...Would need many more readers!?

Oh!---Well!...Hmm! Worry? & Fear?---Moi!?...Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!...!!!

Amen!

Who cares!? Hmm!?

 “No”-body cares!? Hmm!?

 

Wonder? Humble-I?

 

Is it a sad thing that “No”-one cares?---Or…

is there sadness that “some”-one might!?

 

Contemplate the possibilities!

 

Amen!

Water! Water! Everywhere! Really!? Hmm!? (Rain!?)

 We’re drowning!? Hmm!?

 

OMG!---We’re all drowning!...Uh! That is: only evil U.S. citizens! Hmm!

 

“Just ‘What’ in hell are you talking about now?” You sound doubtful!?

 

Well! My “puter(?)” gives me a plethora of unwanted information(?).

It is stated in such terms as to self-authenticate its factual-accuracy.(?)

 

Open the ‘puter one fine day to find: “Ocean rising .4”/year!” Uh! Oh!

 

OMG! (again)!---We’re all gonna drown!...But?...Wait 1-minute! Hmm!

 

So?---.4”/year!?---10 years = 4”!...BUT…Only on the U.S. Atlantic-coast!?

 

Gee! Does this mean Mother Nature really only despises the U.S. evil people?

 

I thought water “seeks its own level”!? When it rises---it rises…universally!

Hmm!?---Wrong! Again!...Just imagine that! (I should-a known!?) Hmm!

 

Well! (Just to humor the un-talented “jokesters” let’s consider!?) Hmm!

 

Obviously---if the Atlantic is rising(?)…It rises “everywhere”!

 

True! Or Un-true!---Rising or not?...Why? Only on the U.S. coast???

 

From the “woke-joke” point-of view---Evil!...Filthy-pig Americans caused it!?

 

Let’s say---“They’re absolutely Right!”…What(?) Do we do??? Hmm!?

 

Gee!---Let’s solve the “problem(?)”…What? How? We can’t! We’re doomed!?

 

Too much water?---Tell it to the farmer in drought!...Let’s utilize the excess!

 

Saudi Arabia has been desalinating salt-water for over 100 years! Can we? Yes!

An entire “desert”-country waters a nation and people with desalinated-water!

 

Let’s try---TRUTH!...Excess water IS a “blessing”! Let’s accept and use it!

 

If we do so?---Then the faux “woke-joke”-narrative…will be: OMG! NO! Water!

 

Instead of evil focused-“Hate”!---Let’s try…calm-reason and Love! Truth!

 

Amen!

Rain!---Finally!...Nice!

 Nice "Rain"!

Well!---Finally!...It rained! 0.6"! Perfect!

Thank Thee! Lord!---Always there for us!...Wait & see!

Amen!

Faith! Hope! & Charity!
