One moment please. You can sing a song while you wait........................<br /><br />Ta da! I'm back. Oh look at you in that photo. How cute. Ah yes, bring back Gumby and Pokey. Took squeezing rubber toys to a brand new level. Yeah, I know Gumby and Pokey were made out of clay.<br /><br />Bring back all those memories you mention. In the meantime, Canada is sending you Bieber on a permanent basis.

Loved them, and loved your poem.<br /><br />Well, I tried to access your blog through bloglovin' again and it still wouldn't let me pull up the comment form. So I had to come here the old fashioned way. <br /><br />And you know what? The LAST post it shows of yours in bloglovin is the Sunday horse (which one is different) post. I was surprised to find the others.<br /><br />Anyhoo...I'm here and enjoying it as always. Wonderful poem.<br /><br /><a title="Follow My Writer's Blog" href="http://mlswift.me/blog" rel="nofollow">M.L.
