The Barbara Show: Toeses and Roses

Toeses and Roses

"Not Much Thought Thursday." lol

April Showers bring May Flowers, what do May Flowers bring?

Pilgrims of course!

Roses are Red and Violets are Blue

Sugar is Sweet and so are you!

If Moses supposes his toeses are Roses

as Moses supposes erroneously

For nobody supposes his toeses are Roses like Moses supposes his toes to be.

Is this on purpose that most of these little ditties have flowers in them? I'm not sure if I quoted the Moses one correctly, seems like I'm missing something.

Do you know of any?

Oh, my goodness. My Grandfather used to tell me that "Mayflower" joke when I was a kid, and I always fell for it. Thanks for reminding me of the laughs!

Confetti would be nice - a comment even better.
Either one is greatly appreciated.

Parades

There were parades every Memorial Day, to honor our men that were brave, for the ones that made it back and the ones that didn't. Parades for Labor Day, Halloween, Christmas and just about any other holiday were a big deal in my town. Going to the Park later for a picnic and a swim at the pool was something to be yearned for but is filed safely back in the section of Heartfelt memories. Fried Chicken, Baked Beans, Potato Salad were a part of our treasured times, hearing the carousel and smelling the the cotton candy, and the lines never seem to cease when you're so thirsty for the lime soda at the concession stand, that looks straight out of "Life with Father".
I wake up and my memories are filed and I look out the window and see the litter, the lack of Norman, hear the rude obnoxious base pulsating off my windows and wonder what is so good about all of this. I walk back to the file and I pull it out once again and I 'm reminded of a time when just a parade was passing us by.
