Sunday Scribblings-ASK

The Sunday Scribblings prompt is "Ask". Sometimes the problem with asking a question in order to determine a course of action is that the question asked is not the right one.

I am in Ontario, Oregon to attend the wedding tomorrow of my grandson, Cedric Shock. There are lots of relatives to visit and have fun with, and I don't have time to write something original. So I will post something very old: my very first published work in a national magazine. This is a scan of the original verse in Country Gentleman of November, 1949. Country Gentleman was a Curtis publication, a sister magazine of The Saturday Evening Post.

The bracket is one I drew, of course. As though I couldn't find my own verse on the page!
