Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
Friends, I’m doing my best to keep up with comments. 😅 I’m still current on my own poems and first replies on others’ work, but this season has been a bit of a twister. Figured I’d drop a quick note so you don’t think I’ve vanished or gone flaky.
Read. Write. Rise. Realize. 🤘💀🖤

“Please! O pretty please, let me come inside,”
Said the tall, lone gray-haired wolf as a plea.
Said the tall, lone gray-haired wolf as a plea.
“Not by the hair on our chinny-chin’s hide!”
To the wolf, the pigs’ voices were a chide
That stung as harsh as a man o’ war sea.
“Please! Pretty please, O let me come inside,”
The wolf’s voice came out louder, more in stride.
But the pigs would not budge at this poor plea.
“Not by the hair on our chinny-chin’s hide!”
The wolf, in fear, howled out with tears undried,
But it sounded much like a growl set free.
“O Please! I will freeze, let me come inside!”
The growl of desperation could not hide—
The pigs held their own biases with glee,
“Not by the hair on our chinny-chin’s hide!”
The wolf, at a loss, forced to face their chide,
Threatened to blow their houses to the sea,
“Please! I will freeze and die, let me inside!”
“Not by the hair on our chinny-chin’s hide!”
And so, the defeated wolf left and cried,
Because the pigs would not hear his poor plea .
Their own biases and hatred inside,
Caused them to miss the friend God had supplied.

Ahh, keeping the wolf from the door? Would wolves eat pigs, if they had let the wolf in?!
Not in this tale! LOL! In reality?...😱 Thank you for reading and commenting, my friend!
A very valid lesson told in this entertaining poem, enjoyed the read, thank you
Thank you, Tobani! Much appreciated my friend! ❤️🙏
You are very welcome
It is often hard to tell the difference between charity and self preservation, between truth and lies, those that intend us harm and those that need our help. My wife said she is not taking that chance, she gives rides to anyone on the highway day or night.
Indeed! You've hit the nail on the head. And wow, talk about walking the walk! Good for her...though I can imagine that to be nerve-racking. LOL! Thank you, friend, for your time and feedback. Always appreciated! ❤️🙏
Not everything is what it may seem .. some things need to appear as something else in order to survive .. whilst other things thrive only by being themselves .. or by virtue of their reputation .. maybe .. Neville
Indeed. Astute observation, my friend. Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts! Much appreciated! ❤️🙏
