    White and yellow horns
Attract tiny wings and hands
      Honeysuckle vines
Hummingbird drinks from one end
  A child sucks on the other

Thanks for the memory

Nothing like sharing breakfast with a hummingbird.

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!
