As I walked out on the porch,
I saw a dude with a torch.
I asked what he was doing,
He said gnats he was shooing;
Those pesky things he would scorch.

&quot;I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater.&quot; -SN
