I think I may have discovered a hidden treasure. While visiting with a friend’s mom we began discussing books and this lead to writing which led to the discovery that she has been writing for years. Of course I pounced at the chance to have her as a guest on our blog. So today I am sharing with you Louise Gibson, a friend and poet who has a delightful sense of humor Onisha

Pigeons are not on my list of favorite creatures
They destroy my peace of mind.
The feeder in my yard was dwarfed
By pigeons of every kind.
They came each day and flapped their wings
As they fought for a position.
The feeder was too small, you see,
Which affected their disposition.
My patio used to be a place
Of quietness and contentment
Until the pigeons came in droves
And filled me with resentment.
“Lord” I cried, “I need your help
I cannot stand their spats.”
The Lord obliged, to my chagrin
And sent instead eight cats.
No squirrels, no birds, they fled in fear-
The cats you see, do domineer.
Now you find no pigeons on Chipola
God sent them all to Lake Eola!
Funny! Really enjoyed it. Thanks for the smile this morning:)
