Today, while the mute was on during those never-ending commercials, my mind for some reason wandered to when I was very young and two poems I learned when I was 5 came to mind. We at that time were still living on the farm down south and I was doing correspondence lessons. These are the two poems which I still think are so very cute:
Hullo Mr Moonface way up in the sky
I love to see you shining while in bed I lie.
I'm not the least bit frightened; you only have to peep
But don't go Mr Moonface until I'm fast asleep.
The other poem is:
Mr Sunflower big and yellow
Said "I'm such a lucky fellow.
To be small must seem so queer,
I get a lovely view up here.
I know they are very simple poems and I have no idea why they have stayed with me for over 75 years but there they are so hope you don't mind me sharing then with you. Strikes me as funny that way back then (in 1937) both the moon and the sunflower were males!! A sign of the times perhaps?
Is the old girl perhaps getting a wee bit gah-gah you ask. No, not really, but I still find much pleasure in the simple things of life....probably don't belong in this advanced technological world.....so it's always great to remember the things that were pleasurable.
I know I should have centred the poems under the picture but as I said I don't belong in this technological age so I am satisfied I at least managed to get the pics on here. The sunflower came from wikiHow website but the moon is just one of hundreds of moon pics but thanks to whoever supplied those beautiful pictures.
