My Friend, The Carrot
by Ron Lunde

Look,
Pink's for noses, like my cat's,
Green's for leaves, or maybe parrots,
Brown's for cocoa or fruit bats,
And Orange's just the thing for carrots.

Bite,
A clean snap, molars chew,
Vegetable of hearty satisfaction.
Not like okra, ooh what goo,
Where teeth don't get no traction.

Chew,
Sometimes though, a bit of grit
Hit's filling, and you'll hurt
You'll grimace then, and out you'll spit,
A bit of carrot dirt.

Sorry I haven't been around much. I hope you are all doing well. I also hope that today's contribution makes up for my absence:




JimRob

He is a stoic man
Blessed with a heart of gold,
Complete with a vision of honor
Perceived by some as bold.



He followed a higher calling
To defend our inalienable rights,
Guaranteed by the Constitution.
For this he has vowed to fight.

Proud to be American,
Conservatism’s friend,
He has overcome great obstacles.
On his dedication we depend.

He has given us a place
To gather and to share
Laughter, tears, prayers and plans,
Immeasurable proof that we care.

He has grown a family
Tens of thousands strong.
All of us brought together
To right a myriad of wrongs.

Thank you Jim for giving us
This place that we call “home.”
God Bless Free Republic.
Long may its name be known.
