Summer of the Donkeys just don't pin it on me! Summer of the Donkeys I have me a pinwheel, spinning cools me down, drinking up some lemonade to purse away my frowns... Someone left the sugar out! Sweetness, obsolete! I’ll answer to this jump start!. . . turning up, I greet. . . (. . . a day when all souls will be surefooted, like the asses God intended!) I have me a pinwheel, spinning cools me down. . . I’m here smiling at the donkeys. . . those hee-haw’s make their rounds! Someone took my stand away, so, the lemonade is free! Once, I lived in America, jack! . . . a country tis of Thee! In these sweet lands of Liberty I'm wondering if His wind will stop!?!. . . “Lord, please keep me cool with the whirligigs. . . blowing off wearing Whigs, cotton candy, and Barack! I think I’m spinning around in some kind of pecking order. . . ?? (I know, I know. . . even the ass can be, the Fool !) I have me a pinwheel, I said. . . spinning cools me down. . . Not ever will I ever fall, from the narrow path, steep slopes, His crown! O.K....now. . . the eye of the needle just stabbed me! . . . sure sighted, stubborn, burro. . . BLEEP! "Can I have another sip of that?. . . this ass just fell from Thee!" AGAIN! Copyright 2009 Kimmy Van Kooten

At least he has a plan. Give it time and a break ye of little faith and great expectations. Who got us into this?

Summer, too hot, not hot enough...too many clouds, not shadows enough...the hairy neighbor in short like a visiting bear...sweating just seeing the postman walk...hey! is the ice no more? now you ain't serving no lemonade 'cause 'am dizzy!

It is pretty pathetic how easily American's can be deceived. It makes me sad, because it means humans have lost their will to survive at any cost. Preferring instead to be fed, rather than feed. ~ Sara

Kimmy,
Quite mad and wonderful, I love where you go with this and how it carries me along, swept up in its energy and repetitions and variations. Great!

SUMMER CAN DO REAL CRAZY THINGS TO US...IF WE'RE NOT CAREFUL...THANK GOD FOR HIS MERCY AND GRACE WHICH WE DO NEED A BUNCH OF...BUT THE BURROW? HE DOESN'T NEED IT (SO HE THINKS). THIS IS A TERRIFIC WORK. I ENJOYED IT. THANKS FOR SHARING AND BLESSINGS.
