A Word to the Wise

[dogriver]

If you book Handi-Transit (pr ParaTransit, or Dial-A-Ride, or whatever
they call it for you) on a weekly basis for things such as work, and you
find yourself thinking, "I have until tomorrow to book, I'll do it
later", don't kid yourself. Do it now. Do it yesterday! Do it the day
before yesterday, just don't wait until the last minute, especially if
there exists the danger of sleeping through that last minute. It was
that kind of thinking that necessitated a $20 cab trip thir morning.
I've heard of some people who can phone their employer and say, "I'm
having trnasportation problems today, so I can't make it into work," and
their employer will say, "Okay, I understqand, we'll see you tomorrow."
I don't have such an employer, I've never had such an employer, I don't
envision a day when I ever will have such an employer. Now please,
someone, write me a message or send me a comment that will just
completely make my day!

ketchup

[shazza59.livejournal.com]

To my dearest Bruce, here's this rhyme.
To make it right, I will take time.
He is a dear, he is a friend,
but there's something I cannot comprehend.
Why does he like ketchup so?
It comes out of the bottle too slow.
Not like a coke, that fizzes and sings,
Not like chicken, a wonderful thing.
The coke fizzes and the chicken is made many ways,
but the ketchup is the same for all Earth's days.
So why I ask, again and again,
to this dearest Bruce, this wonderful friend,
What is so good about the red stuff?
Tell me please, not off the cuff.
And so this charming rhyme shall end,
in hopes it brings a smile to my friend.
For Bruce is the finest man,
better than a bottle or can,
of anything at all, I say,
and now with that, I'll go away.
