Milk's Leap

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Behind the fronds, a fiery birth,
Sun ignites the sleeping Earth.
Golden fingers seeking find,
Palm trees swaying heart and mind.



Banana Tree
You can't teach calculus
to a chimpanzee.
So just share your banana.
John Rachel


The secret of life is
enjoying the passage of time.
James Taylor





There's a period of life when we swallow a knowledge of ourselves and it becomes either good or sour inside. Pearl Bailey


A lion does not flinch at
laughter coming from a hyena.
A gorilla does not budge from a
banana thrown at it by a monkey.
A nightingale does not stop
singing its beautiful song at
the intrusion of an
annoying woodpecker. Suzy Kassem

Cheese is milk's leap
toward immortality.
Clifton Fadiman

There is no sense in crying
over spilt milk.
Why bewail what is done
and cannot be recalled?
Sophocles

I didn't know Chimps could learn calculus. I wonder if they like it any better than my granddaughter in highschool.

Yvonne Osborne said...

I needed some of that beautiful blue/green water. I haven't checked in for a while. For some reason your blog wasn't coming up in my blogroll. Anyway, love the milk quote, its only way to immortality!!

Hello to Pixie!

I haven't heard a quote about bananas. And the cat's mouth waters at the sight of a banana. He would get to them if he could.
