Genesis 1:29 And God said,
ReplyDeleteBehold, I have given you every herb bearing seed.
It is all for your good use, even if you call it weed.
Use them with discretion, do not abuse their use.
They can be a panacea, to those who see that truth.
Not the seeds alone, but the flowers and the leaves.
Hops for making beer, camomile for making teas.

Then for an outlet, my coaster bike I'd handle.

Anti-vaxxers and herbist are gaining clout.
In my heyday, my looks were a local rage!
How unfair it is the don't improve with age!
Things have changed since my youth,
Now I'm just a curmudgeonly old coot!

Sorry about that. I accidentally hit 'publish' way too soon.
ReplyDeleteI only did the 6*6 but had no problem except on #2 I had DISOWN . I noticed that I still needed an M
ReplyDeleteEasy fix. Owen, we were all heartthrobs in our 'ute( or so we thought).
