Hirsute Case

Don't think I'll
post today. Oh,
sure I could put
up a funny title.
Could tell a
funny true life
story. Like the time
I watched, bemused
as a tough looking.
cigarette smoking girl
from a private school
crossed the intersection.
When she got to my
corner said;
"Viewer discretion
is advised."
Nah, can't be bothered.
Sorry.

The Welcome Wagging

At a intersection
waiting for a bus.
A car pulls up.
Three dogs in the
back seat.
Great Dane looks
listlessly out the
window.
As the car pulls away,
I notice that the licence
plate reads, "Bow Wows."
Two bumper stickers, too.
"Woof" and "Wag On."
Do you figure the guy's
a dog walker?

Sinus Up

At a grocey store
check out.
Bryan Adams' song
"The best was yet to come"
is playing on the store's
stereo.
The cashier is humming
along with it.
"Bryan Adams fan?"
I ask.
"Yeah" she replies.
I bag my stuff and
say, "Don't do anything
Reckless."

Who's Soiree Now

Some musical notes.
My favourite album
by Miles Davis is
"Kind Of Blue."
As far as single tunes
by Miles, I like "It
never entered my mind."
And "Summertime" from
Porgy and Bess.
Other favourite albums
and songs.
Dave Brubeck's "Time
Out."
"Heavy Weather" by
Weather Report.
Thelonius Monk:
"The Composer."
Those are all Jazz
recordings. In a Blues
vein I like Stevie Ray
Vaughan's version of
"Mary Had A Little
Lamb."
ZZ Top's "Fool For
Your Stockings."
Pop favourites include
"Something.", "Old
Brown Shoe." and
"Blow Away." by
George Harrison.
Also, "If you leave
me now." by Chicago.
Pretty mainstream,
I know. I can't really
defend my choices.
And I don't have to.

Nip And Tuck Shop

Things you might
hear me say;
"Hello."
"How are you?"
"Please."
"Thank you."
"You're Welcome."
Things you'll never
hear me say;
"Dude."
"Omigawd."
"Have a good one."
"Awesome."
"Latte."

Going Thru The Emotions

At a friend's place.
Listening to Breakfast In
America by Supertramp.
The album still holds up.
And I guess we do, too.
Well, mostly.
Reminds me of being in
residence at Dalhousie
University.
There's a bunch of us
in one guy's room.
We're stoned, listening
to Crime Of The Century.
One guy who fell asleep,
suddenly wakes up and
says, "Well this is it, eh."
Then he falls back to sleep.
We all laughed.
I guess you had to be there.
(In body, if not spirit.)

Flight Of The Killer BumbleBees

At a grocery store
(I know, I know, yet again.)
Saw Mark Gane and
Martha Johnson of
Martha and The Muffins
fame.
I was going to ask them
if they knew where the
"Cheesie's and Gum" were,
but I wimped out.
Echo Beach came out in
1980, far away in time.
