A little old man shuffled slowly into 
an ice cream parlor and pulled 
himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool.

After catching his breath, 
he ordered a banana split.

The waitress asked kindly, 
"Crushed nuts?"

"No," he replied, "Arthritis."

The bounce of my step
echoes the beat of my heart
as my eyes dance to
the rhythm of you.

Great minds discuss ideas;
Average minds discuss events;
Small minds discuss people.
