Oh Mary, Mary, truly not so contrary

Did not want to be on the moon.

She was only taking a cow to the dairy

While holding a helium balloon.

"I'm not meant to be an astronaut,

I'm supposed to be on Earth.

Next time I'll tie a better knot

My promise for what it's worth!"

Magpie Tales #216

Finland, 1968,  photo by George F. Mobley

Gloomy rainy day

Lifted by splashes of color

And children's laughter

~~~~~~~~

Nothing deters children from having fun- 

especially a little bit of rainy weather. 

Thanks to Tess Kincaid who created Magpie Tales.

Blustery Day - Magpie 144

Squall, 1986, by Andrew Wyeth

On a lovely blustery Pooh day

With the wind whipping around

Bundled up we took a brisk walk

To see what might have fallen down
With the wind at our back
And our eyes on the ground
We almost missed that piece of sky
A remnant of a birthday now
Pinioned to a tree unable to fly
