IT'S OFF WITH HER HEAD...

NO!

I meant to say, "It's off to bed..."

Except that--

FLASH! FLASH! CRACK! BOOM!

It's lightening and thundering outside my room.

The dogs are panting and trembling with fright,

I doubt there'll be rest for the weary tonight.

Meanwhile:

The rain's dousing fires and thinning down beers

To the OOM PA Band's tunes from "Tears for Fears."

The dancers' feet splish-splash each passerby,

"What's a bit of rain?" They still ho-mum and sigh!

It's time for the wee ones, die kleinen, les petites,

To go home to bed, and finally, to sleep.

It's been a long day, the longest one ever,

and

The Summer Solstice Scrawl Crawl?

What a successful, amazing endeavor!

I can't wait to see the scrawls from today's crawls posted tomorrow--All the Best to Everyone! Donna (in Munich)
