Sunshine makes me happy
While working I noticed this poem was inserted as a comment towards the end of a stylesheet:

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do.
I'm half crazy all for the love of you.
It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage.
But you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle
built for two.

It made me smile. This week has been great. The weather is finally beautiful and the barefoot freaks of nature (who I love to hate) are walking the streets of Wellington, stepping on pigeon shit and broken glass without a care in the world! Even the Capital Times tells parents to:

"Drag those fat kids off the couch and away from the Playstation."

I might read in the sunshine this weekend. I'm reading another book of poetry by Robert Frost, and although this poem is depressing (if you're in a good mood, look! there are pretty pictures back on the homepage), so far it's my favorite. Out, Out- by Robert Frost.

Sarah:

I think that daisy poem is a song my grandmother used to sing!

Jeff:

It probably is, I searched on Google and it's by Harry Dacre? I guess it was a popular song in the beginning of the 20th century.

Bob:

In 2001 a space oddesy H.A.L.(one letter off
I.B.M.) sings it as
he is being taken offline.
I prefer Daisy a Day by Judd Strunk,
myself.Always makes me cry.

Bob:

Oh... I foregot,that's how you got my attention.
I was searching for "Barefoot freaks".
Seems I have walked the streets of
Wellington sans footware(broken glass,
no problem)but we don't get much
pigeon shit in Wellington,Ohio USA.
How ya all doin' on the other side of
Terra?(bye the bye loved "The Quiet Earth")
