whimsy swim meet

along bank’s river

where snows fall twice

there flows fish ice

beneath the candling sky

of ceiling wax

a waxing seal

barks swimmingly in whalousy,

“’tis otterly ridiculous-ness, yes?”

      Jesus himself recognized the humble faith of a childlike spirit…and the freedom it gives! Thanks for your playful response and for sharing your free spirit here and with the world, my friend Fred!!
