It's been a while...

It's been a while since I last asked "What's the Diehl?" readers to express their appreciation for this blog's contents by making financial gifts. (My last appeal was way back on March 7.) Since I'm still trying my best to provide thought-provoking and stimulating content - albeit slightly less frequently than before - and since a household income reduction is looming for us, I'm asking again.

Please click on the "Donate" button on the right and prove that just 'cause some things are free doesn't mean they're not worth supporting. If your contribution is large enough, I'll even post your most flattering photo and write nice things about you for people across the globe to read.

Is this a lot of mouths to feed or what?

Dirty - Hit Da Floe

Sunday poetry

Dirty Face

Where did you get such a dirty face,

My darling dirty-faced child?

I got it from crawling along in the dirt

And biting two buttons off Jeremy’s shirt.

I got it from chewing the roots of a rose

And digging for clams in the yard with my nose.

I got it from peeking into a dark cave

And painting myself like a Navajo brave.

I got it from playing with coal in the bin

And signing my name in cement with my chin.

I got if from rolling around on the rug

And giving the horrible dog a big hug.

I got it from finding a lost silver mine

And eating sweet blackberries right off the vine.

I got it from ice cream and wrestling and tears

And from having more fun than you’ve had in years.

~ Shel Silverstein
