Another Quiet Morningin the neighbourhood
Passersby,on their way to work,
did not notice anything amissas they strolled through the church square
The doorman stoicallylistened to George Frideric Handel
on his B
while the two saintsresponsible for guarding a gaggle of angels,
were squirming from embarrassment
over two little angels at their feetwho were at each other's throats
and would not heedthe saints' admonitions,
not listen to their warnings
of fallen angels
St. Barbara turnedaway in despair

Yet,according to Billy Collins,
"Of all the questions you might want to ask
about angels, the only one you ever hear
is how many can dance on the head of a pin"!
Angels in stone.

ReplyDeletei would ask Angels
a different question,
if only i could,
such as
~~are U carefully
watching over
the ones i love?~~
{{ are U watching over me? }}
A very amusing post...I love it!
ReplyDeleteThat man and woman walking with the burgundy headgear...is that the woman's hair or does she have on a hat? It's difficult to tell...but I do like that pop of color and that they match!
Absolutely delightful. I just love how your mind works.
ReplyDeletePictures ain't bad either... (:0)
Perhaps the little angels were fighting whether they should be part of a "gaggle". They may prefer to be part of a Host methinks. ;)
