It's too late. Now if Poppy had been a proper dad, instead of spending so much time conspiring against Kennedy and Nixon and Ford and Carter and Reagan and......
maybe the little shrub would have turned out better, even with that cold-hearted momma.
Water gathering
most days I wait
through blue and sun
till dusk
or even later
and the rose has faded
to lavender, to gray
some days, the sleet
has started
and the leaves underfoot
are slick with ice
somehow I'm never sorry
and never learn
one night I waited
till the stars were out
dropped the bucket into
sound, only felt the weight
of it filling
and the night full of stars
and the river full of stars
and the bucket full of stars
come morning, the coffee
is also full of stars

In some cultures, having men hold hands is acceptable. For shame that you are making fun of this acceptable tradition in some countries.
So much for being open minded!
Afraid you missed the whole point, Bunky, lol!!
