MY GUESS

The Hawk Portico 10:22pm

My Guess Is That Cats

Worry The Birds

At Nesting Time

Much Like Predatory Governments

The World Over

Disturb The Population

Of People Trying

To Make A Living

(And I Don’t Mean To Paint Cats Black)

SOMETHING LITE

Barrington Passage 5:30pm

My Grandmother on My Mother’s side

was from Birmingham, Alabama

and told me this riddle when I was little:

“What’s the difference between

a piece of watermelon

and a sweet pea?”

Answer: “About fifteen minutes.”
