Cloudy and a long shower today. 1st day of tournament at Sun City West.Won one lost one. M did the same. 2 more games tomorrow then we are divided into flites.
Did a little shopping and filled the car up - price of gas is about 77 cents per litre!
Here's a poem I wrote a while back and have posted before.

Mother Earth and Us

 

 

Grey sky above

Drizzling rain

Song birds competing

For seed and grain.

 

Where is the sun

Why is spring so cruel

New plants are waiting

In ground so cool.

 

Is the world in balance

Why do killer winds blow

Across the world

From the top to down below.

 

Earthquakes shaking

Tsunamis destroying

Monstrous snow storms

And heat so cloying.

 

Is it a cycle as some would say

Or is it the result of what we do

Polluted air

And polluted seas, each day is something new.

 

We bore deep holes

We slaughter our trees

We spill thick oil

Over the land and seas.

 

We send poison gases

To join volcanic smoke

We change our rivers to massive lakes

Compressing the earth, what damage we evoke?

 

We dam our rivers

So fish can’t migrate

We kill all species

And we call it fate.

 

 

 

 

Our glaciers are dying

As each city grows

Pavement now rules

Where rainwater flows

 

Out here on the coast

We have a spring so cool

But last winter was warm

So rain was the rule.

 

Beyond the mountains

Through the interior plains

The weather was fierce

Storms abounded, there were no gains.

 

And now back there

Extreme heat has arrived

Floods then parched lands

The fortunate will have survived.

 

Disease in her arteries

Our earth is sick

Body fluids drained off

‘Neath her skin so thick.

 

Earth has sustained us

For millions of years

Why must we destroy her

Why have we no fears?

 

Perhaps a burnt cinder

Or a dead rock in space

It matters naught

For the human race

 

When we succeed

In killing Earth

No life or oil or water left

Not even a chance for future rebirth.

 

Is it too late

Can we turn it around

Or shall we be that dead rock

With no life around
