RRC# 29 ~ Country Road Drive ~

 

This Week's Photo For Rita's Ritin Challenge is a Beauty and Thank You Danni for the photo and inspiration as you relieve Rita this week.

Welcome Back Rita once you are all hooked up again.

 

Old barn

Country Road Drive

I have seen many days oh yes this is true

And I know I am not bright and shiny, or even brand new

I have rust on my roof and I am a few planks shy

But I have history, maturity and people love me, you may wonder WHY?

I am told that my style both attracts and endears

From another era I stand nostalgically amongst a field of wheat ears

 I am a classic always useful and purposely made

As a stable, secure holding for the contents and sundry, of a family’s trade.

When you pass me by, whilst out on your scenic country road drive

Remember I was built strong and reliable with an intent to survive.

Milli 09

    Thank you Jay. This is how the photo came across to me. It is so great to read the individual responses to a grand photo like this. Don't you agree?

    Just like me, it would look better thatched
    But unlike me, it was tin hat snatched
    My hair.
    Given I stood in your field to offset that scene
    You could put verse to my wildest dream?
    More hair.
    Your fertilising formulae will do. lol

    For you Dear Bill
    just a tiny pill
    It works like a wonder
    Might cause thunder
    But what the heck
    If you become a wreck
    All in the name
    Of this vanity game.
    I will see hair on your head
    Well!!!! enough said.
    LOL
