Deciduous

not just words, a play on words, not just than neither.. beleaf us why dont'cha

Deciduous

 

Are you not cold

Tis winter after all

Enquired veronica

The ever greenest shrub

Of the naked and still

Shivering tree

 

Yes I am very

Very cold indeed

And will be oh’ so much

Re-leaved when

Spring returns and

Smiles down on us

 

Me too replied the

Naked bush

Deciduous

Yes of course I love you

Both so very much

Sighed Veronica

Deciduous! a fine word indeed ... sprouts love in me ol heart ... but oh thank God above for the evergreens ... our forests would truly be way too naked without them ... my own little neck of the woods, just yesterday evening, showed me how very naked they are right now ... the joy is i can see well into the forest ... and so sneaking up on is much more difficult ... except for the armadillo ... ruddy little buggers rooting around in thick fallen leaves ... blind as bats but they have good sniffers ... anyway .. who is Veronica? ;)

Cheers E... your lovely comments made me feel just the ticket.. I could be quite at home in that forest of yours... those armadillo's have much in common with me it seems... :)

well...only the cute parts and protective armor perhaps .. did you know they are one of the few mammals that carry leprosy systemically .. one actually sashayed through our yard and let me walk right up on it .. i let it sniff my hand then scratched its scaly back ..it jumped several inches straight up and ran away .. so i looked them up and found out about the disease :{ but they are pretty cool ... i think you would feel comfortable in a desert Neville ;) g'day sir! :))

I have chilled many times in deserts.. funny thing. the first time I went to the Sahara, it bloomin rained... I never knew that about armadillo's.. I worked with several people with leprosy in both India and West Africa and we had a case of dry leprosy at the surgery where I used to work... apparently the first case in England for many years.... g'day to ya too mate x
