WHAT THE WORLD WISCONSIN NEEDS NOW


PLAY



...................


A good letter in the Waukesha Freeman yesterday:



..........................




Time heals all wounds
Our aloe cactus sits in a dish on the piano
The tips of its leaves were all nibbled off
by the late Mona the Cat


In her evident quest for something green
to eat in the Odd Fellows hall
 She bravely lived her last year
and caught where she could


In the year's time since she passed
the NW light from our massive windows
has illumined the aloe and rendered
it reborn with fresh spikes
in the middle


But the chewed leaves 
are left to serve 
as a reminder of what dearly was.
