Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 09, 2012

Well how can you stand to be in here my friend, scratching answers to math with your pencil or pen?When outside the door there are bees on the lawn, and birds have been singing since just before dawn.Well how can you stand to do history and spelling, while a world full of lilacs your nose could be smelling?With lilly pads, cattails and water bugs speeding on blue sky reflections, while you sit here reading..

The cotton hung high, glows from natures appliance, while you study clouds from a book labeled science.

With the wind bending weeds in the field down the road, and the neighbors pet cat pouncing after a toad, While a squirrel in a tree looking down on it all, drops nuts in the dew where the peach blossoms fall, When a butterfly flutters by, acting aloof, How can you stay in for walls, ’nieth a roof?
