Spring

[jgordner]

A POEM

Some things make sense to me
I can fathom why birds like to sing
Some mysteries, I don't have the key
Like why I get bad headaches every spring

Unrelated Note: In the last few days I've started listening to the Sweeney Todd soundtrack a lot. It's good. I'd like to see it performed.

Have you seen the movie?

[jgordner]

I have! It's what inspired me to first download the soundtrack from Zune (though I got the stage version since it has The Ballad of Sweeney Todd, which is great).

I really liked the movie. I thought it could have been a little bit better to be great, but I still really liked it. Did you see it? Like it?

Your eyes haven't adjusted to the brightness of the sun and the colors of the blooming flowers.

Once your eyes adjust, you will cease to have an achy head.

I recommend sunglasses, sir.

[lilmissbooyah]

Crap. I was anonymous right up there.

Who *else* would suggest sunglasses and call you 'sir', sir?

[jgordner]

Actually, I have aunt who calls me "Sir" -- she has addressed packages and letters to me as "Sir Jonathan", and in fact calls me that in person. She still does this; yesterday I got such a package and it had chocolate in it and a mini slinky!

Further, I have an aunt that is an Optician, and might very well suggest glasses of some sort to cure what ails me.

Lucky for you, these aunts are not the same person. One is Auntie Shelley and one is Auntie Marcy, or sometimes shortened to Auntie M (like from the Wizard of Oz). So the only conclusion is that the comment above had to be you.

Your poetry needs a little help, but I get the sentiment lil' un. That's too bad you are getting bad headaches...allergies? Is it nice in Seattle? It's perdy grey here...waiting for the sun to come out. And ps- where have you been lately? Haven't seen you online...

Whatever! I'm the poetry king!

I am a poetry king
I hate the season of spring
There's one reason I'm
A fan of this time
I practice my baseball swing!

Riggs thought my future was elsewhere
He thought I'd do well at other gigs
He said on the side of caution, I should err
I'm all in with my poetry, Riggs!

Riggs thought my poetry did suck
He thought he could tell me what to do
Unforunately, he was out of luck
I'll write all the poetry I want, foo'
