"When a love relationship is at its height there is no room
left for any interest in the environment; a pair of lovers
are sufficient to themselves."

I drive a 1950 Hudson; I pay my bills;
I live no frills; still I can't get
ahead; my ink runneth red; my belt I
can no longer tighten; my burden I can
no longer tighten; Lord, before I get all dottery;
let me win the lottery!

FARE RELIEF...
Local airport official's work was finally rewarded
when a low-cost carrier, Sky Blue Airlines, agreed

It flies a new V6 Sturdley Bullfinch 104, which
carries one passenger who must wear goggles and
a long white scarf. Two flights a day are envisioned.

And read enough to discover,
That I should have taken a look,
And judged the cover by its book.

I'm channeling Ogden Nash.
But, I'm a courser instrument,
Than his refined temperament.

QUICK. MEIN LEDERHOSEN!
Ein, zwei, drei, oompah, boom!
I can out-polka anyone in the room.
When I hear a tuba, I go bonkers,
Whether I'm in Munich or Yonkers.
I raise a stein and hit the floor.
Get up Gertie, swing your pinafore!

Who was thought of as a dork,
Until he became a winner,
When, during a boring dinner,
He discovered the quark.

The award above was awarded to me for being me.
It is my very own award, soon to be coveted; or ignored; or despised. It will be awarded(?) from time to time to anyone I deem worthy for reasons of my own. There are no requirements whatsoever.
