Marching for Babies

Marching for Babies
In the cold Baltimore rain
Must be worth a beer

Photo and haiku by Captain Hops.

References: Today was the Baltimore area March for Babies. It rained. We walked anyway. It’s worth it.

Why do we walK? Well, I’ve thought about having a “Beer for Babies” fundraiser in support of the March of Dimes. But I’m afraid people may get the wrong idea. Maybe next year.

Thing of the Day: If you can spare a dime, please consider contributing to the March of Dimes.
