Florida Blessing
Bless this house, oh Lord, we cry.
Please keep it cool in mid-July.
Bless the walls where termites dine
While ants and roaches march in time.
Bless our yard where spiders pass
Fire ant castles in the grass.
Bless the garage, a home to please
Carpenter beetles, ticks and fleas.
Bless the love bugs, two by two,
The gnats and mosquitoes that feed on you.
Millions of creatures that fly or crawl,
In FLORIDA, Lord, you've put them all!
But this is home, and here we'll stay,
So thank you Lord, for insect spray.
HOLD IT.....there's more............
YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN FLORIDA IN August WHEN. . . ..
The birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the
ground.
The trees are whistling for the dogs.
The best parking place is determined by shade instead of
distance. (Yup)
Hot water now comes out of both taps. (so special)
You can make sun tea instantly.
You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good
branding iron!
The temperature drops below 95 and you feel a little chilly. (This has happened to me)
You discover that in August it only takes 2 fingers to steer
your car. (cuz the steering wheel is so dog gone hot-you learn)
You discover that you can get sunburned through your car
window. (True)
You actually burn your hand opening the car door.
You break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m.
Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?"
You realize that asphalt has a liquid state.
God Bless Our State of FLORIDA!
