Sunday Muse -- and I Cried

 

Dolly Cried 

Why is that big tear 

Did I stick you with a pin 

Did I take you from your drink 

Did I take your toy away 

Please don't cry 

Is it something I have said 

Or something I haven't said 

Maybe something I have done 

Bigger than these 

Something I have not done 

Did I forget your birthday 

Or our anniversary 

When ladies cry 

Sorry if I made you cry 

I hate that, shouldn't happen 

(Tough being in the dog house)

Weekly Scribblings -- Waystation

    A Monarch Waystation Garden 

Last spring's early happy sighting 

Group of scouts, Monarch butterflies 

Looking to find some Milkweed plants 

Twelve other varieties too 

Leaves to attach their fertile eggs 

Leaves for caterpillars to eat 

Flowers whose pollen insects love 

sustenance for the family 

Mating, baby growing ends,  

they're ready to go north or south 

North to stay cool, south to be warm 

A pleasant stay this stopover 

Seeing and knowing Nature's treat 

Sets folks planting flowers plants 

Where Monarchs recreate and play
