Parenteau</div><div><br></div><div>A robin and a crow were perched upon a fence,</div><div>an unlikely combination, but they seemed to be good friends.</div><div>Standing in the mid-day sun each on a separate picket,</div><div>basking in its rays while staring at a cricket.</div><div>The crow looked very hungry, the robin seemed content,</div><div>so he flapped his shiny wings and to the ground he went.</div><div>The cricket saw him coming and jumped away in a flash,</div><div>searching for some camouflage in an open field of grass.</div><div>The crow was disappointed to get outsmarted once again,</div><div>so he flew back to his perch and asked his feathered friend,</div><div>"Have you had your dinner, tell me would you mind?</div><div>I wondered if you'd share with me, could you be so kind?"</div><div>The robin fanned his wings and said, "Come, follow me."</div><div>To his nest they flew at the top of an old oak tree.</div><div>Together they shared a feast the robin caught that day,</div><div>then they fell asleep passing the time away.</div><div>There's a lesson to be learned from the robin and the crow,</div><div>and carry this knowledge with you wherever you may go. </div><div>Friendship is a special thing; it's always nice to share.</div><div>It shows the good inside of you so people know you care.</div></div><div><br></div>——————————————-<br><br><div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Seeya 'round town, Moscow, because . . .</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"Moscow Cares" (the most fun you can have with your pants on)</span></div><div><a href="http://www.moscowcares.com/" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#000000">http://www.MoscowCares.com</font></a></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> </span></div><div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Tom Hansen</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Moscow, Idaho</span></div></div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
