Swinging Fun
Inspiration hits with a flash, stories written on the go. A rumble of laughter and the tale is heard only in echoes. The wind blows me in a new direction. Whom shall I visit next?
Kathy von Carey
Hung on the lamppost
Bucking and swaying
Then slipping again
.
Leaping to snatch it
She grasped the loose wires
Bucking and swaying
Collapsing in pain
.
Children be cautious
In all of your playtime
There’s fun, but there’s danger
So mind how you go
.
Always remember
Sweet Kathy von Carey
Who strove to rise higher
But now she’s Below.

This is like a modern mother goose rhyme. It's just lighthearted enough to make the warning to kids not as grotesque as the reality would be.

I like Ike, and am distantly aware, and partake of that periodical when I can. Never seriously thought of submitting, but hmmm I need to publish anyhow... Thanks. My best to you both.
