ALL HAIL! to the porch swing Ð ALL HAIL! to you as you struggle to survive!
The Òclosed in porchÓ syndrome is taking over our neighborhoods. However, Òhistorically correctÓ folks are keeping you alive!
Once upon a time on our Victorian and Tudor porches you swayed to and fro.
And those who were seated in you simply ignored the heat and the charging mosquito!
But, alas, some think they are much too sophisticated to scratch, sweat and swat,
Porches have become room with frigid air Ð ÒA porch? Who needs one?
Sit outside? ItÕs too hot!Ó
Yes, porch, youÕre an oddity to some. Your presence is truly scarce.
Many do not want to sit outside and view a lovely, sloping terrace!
Couch potatoes! Glued to the TV! In the typical American room there
sits the set!
Why, I grew up porch swinging! Ah! How soon we can forget!
Yes! But to all of you who still have porches and who sit outside in
your swings Ð
Bless you! Hold on to that can of OFF and to your swinging. YouÕre
living the peaceful life. Experience all the happiness that it brings!
