nobody notices
my windshield is a magnet
for rocks

    oh yes and it's likely to rain also! I love this Eeyore-ish poem- I can hear him saying that! Thanks for the smiles and have a great day!

    Eeyore is one of the world's greatest, although pessimistic, philosopher! Loved this! Including the quote in your presentation made it even nicer.

    My daughters love the Winnie the pooh series, so much so the my elder one has named my younger Winnie and my younger one sleeps with a plush piglet. anyway's i can clearly imaging Eeyore say it with his drooping neck and sluggish walk. lol.

    oh! i love Eeyore! cracked windshields are so common in Denver that they're not covered under automobile insurance. {thankfully, i live in Arizona.}
