Woodn't it be nice

I remember

when I was little

making a balsa wood

aeroplane with my Dad

and thinking how fantastic it would be

if everything in the world

was made out of balsa wood

and actually I know very little

about balsa wood

Overheard:

The winter of '63

They're trying to compare this year's
big freeze
with the winter of 1963
I live with one memory of that cold snap
it's of a very large snowball
hitting me in the eye

Lonely restaurant
Buzzer announces each course
Feel like Pavlov's dog

Overheard

"You do realize that disagreeing with my statement is just
reinforcing that statement that we should agree to disagree."

Family Reunion - The Result

Survived the family reunion
by drinking lots of beer
and eating fine food

and of course the excellent company

The Reunion

Just hours away from family reunion
And I have a sock crisis
