Walk For Someone You Love

I believe all you Americans online already know about the Great WalkAmerica.

Every year, half a million babies in the U.S. are born prematurely. Premature birth is the leading cause of newborn death and many life long disabilities. The funds we raise in WalkAmerica support research that saves babies' lives.

Our mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.

~ March of Dimes
Saving Babies,together

Brad Litwin is running for someone he loves and I am asking you to support him.

Funso Alabi: Stars Don't Die

"We are the miracles that God made
To taste the bitter fruit of Time.
We are precious.
And one day our suffering
Will turn into the wonders of earth."
(from 'An African Elegy')

Stars don't die
For when stars burn out or burst
They only end up as cosmic dust
And their stardust become the gems of the universe.

Funso Alabi, I refuse to mourn you with tears and gnashing of teeth in sorrow
For Nigeria will soon hear the echoes of your voice in the songs of tomorrow
For I can still hear the whispers of your voice in the winds.
The winds our eyes cannot see, yet we cannot deny the breath.
Funsoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh!
Jesu Kristi Olugbala wa ti bawa segun iku!

Funso Alabi, the Bard of Akoka.

Ann Marie, The White African Wildflower

For Ann Marie, The White African Wildflower


I have been wandering beyond the kraal
Wandering on like an innocent child
Wandering beyond the woods in the wild.
Wandering to the kopje of Transvaal.

Wandering to the land of the birds of Paradise
Wandering to the valley of the sunrise
Wandering to the fountain of the bubbling spring
To join the chorus of the fairies as they sing.

Then I saw the white flower among the lilies
Among the lilies beyond King Solomon’s mines
The enchanted white flower of dawn
Blooming in the bright light of the African sun.

Love Me, Love My Dog



Love me, love my dog
Love me, love my blog.

Where your heart is, there your treasure lies
For true love is more than mere kisses and roses
And more than the carnations of your affections of romance
For you cannot fool me with your lip service and eye service.

Sorry, I don't want to be your Prince Charming turned into a frog
Croaking for your fairy tale magic kiss squatting on a wooden log.

Will you love my stray dogs fleeing to
Canary Islands?
Or throw them overboard their boats like brigands?



Love me, love my dog and em...em..my Golliwog too
Bertha Upton did not say you should send me to the zoo.
