A Haiku Poem by Ernestine Northover

AHHH, Tis Nature's Offerage of the Harvest....Finely done...My Mom had a Cornucopia, when i was a very young boy, perhaps 4 or 5. My grandmother was visiting us for Thanksgiving Dinner. She saw & remarked how lovely the Fruit filled, horned, wicker basket looked, then proceded to grab an apple & bite hard into it. My eyes blew out like swirling duncan yo -yo's....THE FRUIT WAS WAX! GEEESSSH! Mom & i worked as a team to pry Grandma's teeth from the wax apple...'Bout a minute later, voila... the apple had bee freed from Grandma's pie-hole. Grandma was relieved & smiled broadly. But again, i had to pick my eye-balls from the floor, as now Grandma had no teeth! Quick, don't throw that apple out i shouted out to my dad, about ready to to give grandma, a denture-free Thanksgiving....WHAT TH' 'ELL, I heard him squall & with that i knew that Grandma would indeed be able to enjoy me Mom's chestnut pie...(TRUE STORY, W/ A WEE BIT O' SPICE ADDED FOR EXTRA SAVOUR) Nice traditional, Z-'KU, young lady''''''''''''''''''''FJR

Like a lovely offering to God.

Its sure is like that offering... everyone is saying that and I am agreeing. But, I do have to mention here that FJR has an interesting episode from his life... all that and the Haiku...... is very interesting to read. Thank You......

And all so needed, a beautiful offering to those that lack such gifts Love duncan X
