MINUS AND PLUS

February 6, 2011

Parker Minus and Hilda Plus

married under an overturned bus


They honeymooned near the firth of Forth

and went to live in Dakota North


Soon disappearing from history’s notice

they left behind their lone son Otis


Otis became a noted attorney

haunting many an ambulance gurney


Alas he died without any issue

excepting three bastards and one tiny Miss Cue

A SENTENCE BY THOMAS HARDY

February 5, 2011

Rays from the sunrise drew forth the buds and stretched them into long stalks, lifted up sap in noiseless streams, opened petals, and sucked out scents in invisible jets and breathings.

Go, Tommy, go.

JEEVES AND BERTIE

February 3, 2011

Bertie: Oh, Jeeves.

Jeeves: Sir?

Bertie: I’ve been running the old brain a race, and frankly, Jeeves, I’m stumped.

Jeeves: Might I inquire in what regard, sir?

Bertie: It’s kudus and impalas, Jeeves, kudus and impalas. Can’t keep ’em straight. What’s the blasted difference between a kudu and an impala?

Jeeves: An impala, sir, is a large brownish African antelope that in the male has slender lyrate horns, whereas the kudu, in contrast, is a large grayish brown African antelope with large annulated spirally twisted horns.

Bertie: Thank you, Jeeves, and you really do think I should keep this two day growth of beard for the part?

Jeeves: Trust me, sir.

There was a Young Person of Fallon

Who drank lager beer by the gallon

When admonished, she uttered, “Do you like your buns buttered?”

EXPERIMENTAL GARDEN

January 30, 2011

This is the experimental section of Sadlar’s Garden. Sadlar? He’s a gentle gardening monster and appears as a supporting character in more than a few of my children’s fantasies.

A SENTENCE BY H. RIDER HAGGARD

January 29, 2011

Like a storm-driven bird at night we fly out of Nowhere; for a moment our wings are seen in the light of the fire, and, lo! we are gone again into the Nowhere.

That about sums it up, wouldn’t you agree? H., . to his friends, wrote one of my all time favorites, SHE. (who must, of course, be obeyed.)
