Rhyme Time 04/01/2005 My morning has been spent in assembling a desk for this computer. Amazingly, all went without a hitch and I can now convert from my rather ramshackle affair of two small tables supporting monitor and keyboard to something actually designed for the task.It has meant that I have not been able to write anything today, however, but Harry reminded me of a little something that I wrote as long ago as 1968. This should keep the ball rolling for the moment - it is, after all, my one and only attempt at a poem that actually rhymes!PlantOh deep in thy vegetable heart of matterWhat humus thoughts grow thouTomorrow you feed on their rotting fleshThough they may pluck thee now
Clive
Harry Ack! He beats me again, dag-nabbit.
(but mine's longer, he snickers)
I don't do new year resolutions, but I might attend to one on my mind now. Date Added: 04/01/2005

Way I hope "pithy" is a good word. Ali used it, smiling and saying, "Sorta like a plant."
Now I got to go look that up. :D Date Added: 04/01/2005
Gone Away I know a joke about "pithy". But I better not tell it... Date Added: 04/01/2005
Ned I'm thinking "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" may have been based on a true story. Date Added: 04/01/2005

Actressdancer YES!!! I've finally done it.... three days of reading and reading and I have caught up with all of the blogs I follow, this being the last of them. Now, thanks to my new friend, Sharpreader, I am confident in my ability to keep up from here on out. Date Added: 09/01/2005
