Shake Me Loose…but let me sleep
from The Mind of RD REVILO
- Funny, Some People Think
- War will be different for them
- They see the deadly destruction
- But theirs wonāt make them a victim
- Theyāll start the fight on Friday
- Night
- Then fight
- Until Sunday
- Back to work on Monday
- And if they get injured or hurt
- The enemy will nurture
- Them back to work
- So they can fight some more
- And even up the score
- No loss of electricity
- Water will flow
- No pain toward victory
- No disappearance of people they know
- Itāll be like a picnic
- Only ants are pests
- Weāll be in and out quick
- Unlike the rest
- Once they knowwe are serious
- Fear will make the enemy delirious
- And sue for peace
- Just beating our chests will scare the beast
- Our thunderous protests
- Will make them confess
- Weāll sing, weāll cheer
- The brave will bring up the rear
- Weāll snarl, our fists weāll ball
- Weāll persist, insistā¦

Ulla was a better friend to me than most of the friends Iāve ever had; hell, she wasĀ there for me during some of my toughest times far more than some of my relatives.
Oh Ulla.
She supported my writing, and ā this was bigā she helped me grieveĀ my fatherās death. SheĀ truly understood what it was like to lose a parent since she had been through it too.
She sentā¦

Dalmationite and Dogs
An extraordinary tribute to the bond between dogs and their people.
For Alexā¦
My familyās dogs were a big part of my life when I was a little girl. I learned to stand, clutching fistfuls of fur and hauling myself upright against our German Shepherd Nikki, who bore my maulings good naturedly. I created miniature worlds between his paws as I sat and played, marching little animals across his shouldersā¦ He also taught me my first adult lessons in griefā¦ Returning home from school to find him gone, it broke my heart, but I thank him for his gentle love and guidance. In comparison to myself, my mother has always been a ādog personā. I am primarily a ācat personā but I love dogs too and have had a couple who have co-existed happily alongside my various cats.
Rosie was another notable character from my motherās succession of dogsā¦ my first sister dog, she taught my older son how to treatā¦
