Thinking about this
I am extremely fortunate in my friends. One of them, Miss Joe, sent me this last week.
I Meant To Do My Work Today
I meant to do my work today,
But a brown bird sang in the apple tree,
And a butterfly flittered across the field,
And all the leaves were calling me.
And the Buttercups nodded their smiling heads,
Greeting the bees who came to call,
And I asked the lizard the time of day,
As he sunned himself on a moss-grown wall.
And the wind went sighing over the land,
Tossing the grasses to and fro,
And a rainbow held out its shining hand,
So what could I do but laugh and go?
Richard Le Gallienne (1866-1947)
Tomorrow I am going to a town north of Rome to visit Alisonk.
I don’t smoke anymore, and sometimes I am not even witchy from it.
