CHARACTER STUDY
I’m not in the habit,
Of darting to and fro,
Like a frantic Jackrabbit,
But, more the way I go,
Is slow.More like a tortoise my mien,
Plodding along smelling roses,
Seeing what is to be seen,
With no dashing poses.As a kid I had the hope,
Of emulating,
The non-existent Jackalope,
Not even up to simulating,
What a dope !

you still get there though. And maybe that is what matters…
inch by inch…it is the spirit that makes the difference. Dad has lost all of his spirit and has become a depressed and angry man
hehe- what a cute jackalope!
Ho Ho!! I remember this critter at souvenier stands out west!!
Once again your poetry reflects you and YOU ARE WONDERFUL!
