Ode aan die Donkies van Kransvley

 

Ek het HIER reeds na hulle verwys – my gunsteling diere op aarde

(dis nou behalwe die skilpad en my Blue baba 😉 )…

 

 

~ ♥ ~

Het jy al ooit mooi na ’n donkie gekyk?

Die kruis-streep – † – wat op sy grys rug pryk?

Ken jy die storie van die donkie se kruis?

En weet jy wat dié merk op sy rug uitwys?

 

’n Ou-ou verhaal deur my Ouma vertel

Beskryf alsbehalwe ’n steekse rebel

En sien ek steeds in my geestesoog:

Dié ned’righeid stap deur ‘n palmboog

Gevorm deur skares wat lofprys en sing:

“Hosanna!!” – terwyl hul’ die Ruiter omring.

 

Sien jy dit ook? Die stilstomme dier

~ sonder fanfare, sonder banier ~

Deur ons Koning gekies om HOM te dra

Soos ook voor SY geboorte, SY ma Maria…

 

En só, volgens Ouma, is donkie bedank

Met ons Heiland se merk oor nek en flank

Om ons te herinner en te laat onthou

HY’t in deemoed gekom ~ en gesterf vir jou.

~ ♥ ~

 

en hier, so verneem ek, een van my beste foto’s ooit 😕

(‘n fotograaf het onlangs liries geraak oor die ‘komposisie’ daarvan… 😳 )

You are my Sunshine…

~ ♥ ~

You are my Sunshine, my only Sunshine, 😆

 

you make me happy  in special ways… 😉

~ ♥ ~

 

Oh, don’t you know Dear, how much I l♥ve you, 😕

 

…you almost drowned me on Valentine’s Day!! 😯

~ ♥ ~

Kiss my Ass…

 

Ok ok!! NOT ‘my’ Ass 🙄 ….  ‘an’ Ass!!

(I call him Hardy)  

 

What a wonderful Birthday gift I got this year!

(Jip, jip – I was spoilt ROTTEN by the Big Man too 😉 – but that’s another story 😳 )

 

I got to kiss one of G♥D‘s favoured animals…

 

 

Isn’t he just the most adorable thing EVER??

Here is mine:

How to survive a LION 😯 encounter :

1.      STOP!! NOW LOOK THE LION STRAIGHT IN THE EYE 🙄

2.      TAKE ONE STEP TO THE RIGHT (NO!! Not THAT RIGHT – YOUR RIGHT! 🙄 → )

3.      TAKE ONE STEP BACKWARDS ↓

4.      TAKE ONE STEP TO THE LEFT ←

5.      TAKE ANOTHER STEP BACKWARDS ↓

6.      …AND ANOTHER TO THE RIGHT… →

7.    REPEAT ↓ ← ↓ → until the LION  is out of sight

Well, ok – so it doesn’t ALWAYS work – 😕

BUT the right steps in the right order WILL ensure that you don’t step into your own poop

Oh – and one more thing:

ALWAYS pack an extra pair of pants!! 😉
