What Singing Can Do

 A L O H A  From
H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

Youth is the 
gift of nature,
but age is 
a work of art.
          Stanislaw Lec





Be like the bluebird 
who never is blue, 
for he knows from his 
upbringing 
what singing can do.
     Cole Porter



Time For School!





Hello, Duck, 
across the way,
I see you splash 
and swim all day.

Your feathers shine, 
your quacks are bright
I love it when
you take to flight!

We’re different, yes, 
but here we meet,
You with paddles, 
me with feet.


Let’s talk and laugh,
just you and me—
A duck, a cat, 
by fence and tree.

Though worlds apart, 
we both agree:
It’s nice to meet 
a friend you see!

Love You,
Pixie & Cloudia

  8. There's nothing more intense than the focus of a cat when watching something she's interested in. And then she wrote a poem about it!
