Sunday Whirligig




 i have friends
 who paint on burnt palm leaves

i have friends
born with a lisp
who cannot pronounce consonants

i have friends
who committed the sin of poverty
not being accountants they are
now buried in unmarked graves

i have brown and white friends
who trample my garden
and eat my azaleas

i have furry friends
who smashed a window
and broke into my pantry

bette midler sings
oh you gotta have friends

i've never been convinced

    The opening image is stunning - and perhaps a few like minded friends are good? I agree on that one

    friends come in with different shapes and colors,
    well done.
