when i was 19, 20, 21 thereabouts
i wrote a song "Milk and Honey
that is where we have been
milk and honey
away from the streets of din"
it was not a hit
in fact, no one liked it
i knew nothing about honey and milk
milk was for cereal
and honey went on graham crackers
never graham factors,
those being factors for determining ambiguity in U.S. patent law
and what was i doing writing about din
when the only din i ever heard of was Gunga Din
i should have been writing about
things i knew like
have you seen my basketball?
i left it in the closet but it isn't there
another near fortune occurred
when i came up with
outerlated insulwear
but couldn't put it together
a definite swing and a miss

I'm absolutely certain you've had more than a few "hits" in your time, a little something about music and love songs; and today, wonderful paintings, stories, and poems.
Outerlated insulwear? Hmmm, maybe it's good it was a miss. Or did you invent thinsulate, and they forgot to credit you?

you're a better man than i am, gunga din, if you can make a happy face.

and a special feel better fast to all the librarians who fell in the tub this week.

Hi Jack, You made me laugh! (My knee aches, just a little, as I write...)
Geeze, Annie, I'm not exactly sure how they instruct librarians to do it at your library, but if your knee aches as you write, maybe you can try holding the pen with your other knee.
Laughing, again!
