Not having to rhyme
haikus are much easier
to write at bedtime.
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

There's a short period of time when (except for our ridiculous hipster hairstyles, eyewear, and clothes) we look a bit less that way.

This is c. 38 years ago.

Ravages of time, indeed (39 years ago for me).

the elephant wrote:Cat purrs in my ear.
The same cat farts in my face.
My cat is a jerk.
I cannot decide...
does this mean the face is long
or the cat is short?

either way seems wrong
in words of a ghostbuster,
"do not cross the streams."
Thanks for playing!
