*Songs To Break the Tedium of Riding A Bicycle, Seeing One's Friends, Or Heartbreak: **When trouble drives me into rhyme, Which is two-thirds of all the time, What peace a thought like this can give- Great is the age in which we live! My heart is heavy, but I know They're working on the radio; That letters, by aerial post, Go every day from coast to coast. I may be sunk beyond repair, Drunk less on liquor than despair, And yet my heart leaps up when I Behold Sweet Caporal in the sky. Through winter-bare my solitude, Through heartbreak in its branches brood, I know that future wars will be Fought by super-chemistry, And, therefore, loneliness and loss Are but a mask for applesauce;-- For I am lord of life and death, Who flaunt this flaming shibboleth;-- No matter what the morrow brings, Inventors are inventing things!**~ Samuel Hoffenstein, Poems in Praise of Practically Nothing * THE RETURN OF FROST PARK FRIDAY LUNCH CHALK CHALLENGE... * Friday, September 25 * *12 noon - 1 pm Larry Frost Memorial Park Downtown Tacoma, WA 98402* * 1 hour. free chalk. community art challenge. win prize(s)!* * Corporate Sponsorship* *this weeks episode is made possible by Thorax Heavy Industries, Inc (a wholly owned subsidiary of Matshuhaurah Fishworks, LTD.) is proud to present a custom CARBON FOOTPRINT T-SHIRT weaved of the finest carbon nano-tubes by great grandma Earwig O'Tool before she died in a motor cycle accident.
