CHRISTUS GARDENS
Gatlinburg, TennesseeA Major Visitor Attraction of the Smokies
In the beautiful Fountain Garden is located a most unusual and mystifying feature in the form of an heroic face of Our Lord sculptured in a six-ton block of Carrara marble in such a manner that the entire face seems actually to turn in any direction taken by the spectator moving in front of it.

THREE LITTLE KITTENS
Three little kittens lost their mittens,
And they began to cry,
“Oh, mother dear, we very much fear
That we have lost our mittens.”
“Lost your mittens! You naughty kittens!
Then you shall have no pie!”
As if cats really give a crap.
It’s Poetry Month
