@juiceman: nice use of hootenanny.

@steph: “it is what it is” crawled out of the sewer, full grown, in late 2006. (It took a while to find it’s place.)

Back n black –
down to The river,
Nothings shocking –
twice dead liver,

Crazy rhythms -
creep Closer.
Disintegration –
vital composer.

War, Hootenanny -
Sleep Murmur,
New clear days -
Let it be firmer.

New day rising -
Stop making sense,
silent Rain dogs -
Daydream nation commence.

Okay, so David and I wanted to check out the poetry contest – I kind of thought I’d pen a little ditty – Wendy might even, too. But, when I started reading the booger poem – Holy Crap. I started reading it, started laughing and then damn it went nasty. Andrea’s Mom’s poem rocked, the Casbah even.

We did go to your best post ever – and both remember reading it. Sweet.

Oh and by the way, does your whole world still smell like bacon? My whole world smells like Kevin Bacon. Can you help me with that?
