 a) Reprise of material posted on January 10 in previous years ...


2020: exotic destinations, Chemainus, BC (poem - 'brief saga')

b) Today's Offering (Jan 10, 2024)
poetry lyrics:/  When folks amble, their effort is placed/ At revoking
 disruption and haste./ So meander or saunter/ As a casual jaunter./
 "Not to trot" is the mantra embraced,/ As you stroll at a lesiurely pace. 
 


Authors' Note:  Hot to trot is an intriguing established idiom, as reflected by its many tribute-verses, such as this oneNot to trot, a variant employed in the above verse's final line, has received considerably less attention.
