DEEP FREEZE
I am not going to say it is cold,
But when you milked the cows,
They gave ice cream,
And you could knock over
Any frozen goat.
The chickens hatched penguins,
And the horse snorted
Ice-sickles.
The windows of the house
Glazed over,
And as the inside heat
Melted the ice,
It became running rainbows.
The thermometer
Plunged to ten below zero,
And the trees exploded
Like cannon shots.
Now that was cold,
And if you believe me,
I will tell you another
Tall tale.
Emory D. Jones / Iuka, Mississippi

A Stroll Through Eternity / Brian K. Mino
Life is but, a merry go round and round and round it goes, will it ever stop? Who can know, but as we go it surely is not slow, as we tread through the winter snow. For I have come to see life on earth as but an afternoon show.
— Brian K. Mino / Grayling, Michigan
