Village Squire, 1978-12, Page 33proceeded to pile the whole works into one
beautifully constructed pyramid. We
couldn't believe our eyes. How could a dog
look so sweet and be so deviously
maniacle? Had she been sent to try us?
One would never know. The next step was
to set all Sox Boxes on top of dressers
which took care of that problem.
Now perhaps after sharing my 32 year
battle with socks, you might understand
why today, April 30, 1978, I feel so relieved
at the knowledge that I will never have to
battle socks again. As the last of the sock
wearers has left to face her own lifelong
battle with "you know what".
However, something is gnawing at my
insides and I feel strangely depressed. The
nest seems so empty now and so strangely
quiet. Surely I don't miss the hullabaloo,
the huge washings and ironings and most
of all, the "great sock hunt"? Ah, surely
not. Do you think it is at all possible? Well,
hold on a minute for here comes Flossie
with something in her mouth. Don't tell
me ... oh, my gosh, she's got one of Dad's
socks in her mouth ... get ready for a real
scream ... ehhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
WINTER
Winter comes and winter goes,
And oh, how that great north wind does blow
In and out of cottage huts,
Up and down chimney ruts.
And with the wind, comes the snow
That plummets the temperature, to zero and below
Then as the lakes begin to freeze
The reluctant water stops its floe.
Soon, upon the horizon there appears
Frosty little snowmen,
And ice drops
Resembling frozen tears.
This is our winter,
Yet, to many
The breathlessness of its beauty
Is still to be seen.
