OT: Mary Poppins song- Fwd: Feed the Birds..
by Elizabeth Young 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

Hello- Chris O was kind enough to share this lovely video and the song's lyrics with me (thank you!) and I can't resist sharing this gentle interlude with you. Happy Friday- Elizabeth ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Chris Okon <chrisokon(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, Sep 15, 2010 at 11:15 AM Subject: Feed the Birds.. To: Elizabeth Young <adoptkings(a)gmail.com> Hi Elizabeth, In a burst of nostalgia I wanted to listen to Feed the Birds from Mary Poppins. It makes me cry every time. Here's the YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHrRxQVUFN4 and the lyrics Feed the Birds Early each day to the steps of Saint Paul's The little old bird woman comes. In her own special way to the people she calls, "Come, buy my bags full of crumbs. Come feed the little birds <http://kids.niehs.nih.gov/birds/home.htm>, show them you care And you'll be glad if you do. Their young ones are hungry, Their nests are so bare; All it takes is tuppence from you." Feed the birds, tuppence a bag, Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag. "Feed the birds," that's what she cries, While overhead, her birds fill the skies. All around the cathedral the saints and apostles Look down as she sells her wares. Although you can't see it, you know they are smiling Each time someone shows that he cares. Though her words are simple and few, Listen, listen, she's calling to you: "Feed the birds, tuppence a bag, Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag." (did you know that this was purportedly Walt Disney's favorite song?) chris \\|// o o V If you just set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing. - Margaret Thatcher -- Elizabeth Until they all have homes, don't buy, don't breed- adopt. www.RescueReport.org www.MickaCoo.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGjyooh3Yo0

And a HUGE thank you to YOU, Pam, for coordinating both events AND working both, start to finish, all weekend! I hope you can get a little rest at work! 8 0 -----Original Message----- From: Pamela Lee <pambudgie(a)yahoo.com> Sent: Monday, September 13, 2010 8:06 AM To: discuss(a)mickaboo.org Subject: [Mickaboo Discuss] Thank you for last weekend's events! Mickaboo had two public events last weekend - a garage sale on Saturday, and the Solano Stroll on Sunday. Thanks go to Mike Reed for securing goods, and Sharon Malloy who continues to send items from Korea(!) for the garage sale! Their items, along with other stuff, garnered a little over $200. The Solano Stroll was focused on education. We drew a lot of attention, answered lots of questions, and though short-handed succeeded in our mission. One sign of how well we did was the level of donations - $50!
