Was watching a big otter yesterday day in the Folsom South Canal overflow by the bike trail.
Then this happened...
There's Otters on the Water, Daughter
I just thought that I aught to
Say hey to my daughter
And tell her I love her
Like any good father
Also thanks for the Otterbox
Cover for my smart phone
To protect from my clumsiness
And save from the water
When I went for a bike ride
I spied me some otters
Singing hey diddle diddle
Then, "welcome back, Kotter"
The cat's in the fiddle
The cow's in the fodder
Glad I don't live in Nashville
Where the weather's much hotter
So I just thought I aught to
Say hey to my daughter
And tell her I love her
Like any good father
And hey diddle diddle
There's smoke on the water
We're goin' down to the river
Like any good otter

Going out in the weather to clean up some downed trees today. I'll be trying to focus on the work in front of me, so I'm going back to bed to get more sleep now. Keep the fire burning for later, please. Watching the movie 'Cafe Society' the other day, and this jumped out at me...

Rise and shine
Time to get up, Meathead

Slept in his chair
The weather report
The weather report
The weather report
Wake up, Meathead
Go to work
Then go back to bed

Courtesy Review
Praise for There's Otters on the Water, Daughter:
"Sorenson has a way of drawing the reader in and taking you with him,
so that it feels as if you are doing the ride with him.
His wry sense of humor shines through as well,
taking us through his ups, his downs and the numerous times he got lost.
If you've ever visited the Folsom district south,
you'll find yourself thinking, "I remember that place...' "
--MFM
Somebody also said, "Those who can't teach, criticize."

The ST was hit by a plethora of angry storms of protest this year as restless peasants wrestled in the mud and slime. Some of us thought it unproductive and tiresome, rather a lot like this thread in some estimates, I'm sure. But are there any Flames clone threads out there? NO!

He realizes that ? I'm sure

I Am Now Wee
We are united:
One and two are now One.
Three, four, and five
Are opposed.
Five is an outside agitator,
Opposing anything at any time.
Thumbs are like that.
And so we never get anything done.
We are all thumbs when we try.
The tall one in the middle gives palm readings.
He is psychic.
Mediums can be like that.
My question is:
How many fingers are holding things up?
It’s not much to ask;
It’s a small thing, y’know.
My name is Pinkie
And so I should know.

Um ?
No, said a #,
It is the short one on the outside of the Palm on the left,
that is psychic
Pinkey,
in deed !
( one should finish Readin' When one has not been sleepin')
have you forgotten his forgiven psychotic explosion of emotions directed at
the election results?
It was a baffling fall.
A fall to grace from disgrace instead of the other way Around.

The Fifth One
I'm no good at riddles
Won't finger it out
Until the second hand
Crosses the big hand
When the big hand
Lines up with the little hand
When the cows come home
And the hope is to shout
When the pizza delivery man
Rings the bell on 14th street
In the month of May
That fifth day
On Cinco de Mayo
Then I'll get back to you
What was I talking about?

I dig the otters. Tough industrious critters.
The middle digit signifying "You're number 1".
Also works with the pointer one.

Big hand for WyoRMan!
Hear, hear. See, see. Point, point.

Beyond My Dereliction
I was carving a headstone
When the cremation urn came
By some rainy day Tuesday
They'll soon all forget me
At least by summer anyway
There at the crossroads
I've felt the same way
Yeah, we're all just the same
I was reading the memorial
For the neighbor's lost love
She was an American cat
Now a poet in pet heaven
And when the sh#t came down
It was push come to shove
I just wanted it all over
For that poor lovely dove
As we witness the time pass
With every new leaf
There's the sideways rejection
Of time numbered biding
The whoosh of the earth
With its whirl and its grinding
And that forlorn detection
Of bullshit and grief
I was reading an epitaph
Couldn't make out the name
It said he was common
And a man of good fortune
Most diverse in his views
There was no shame there I thought
When death tapped my shoulder
There was no one to blame

The Dog and the Sea Lion
He's a good boy, Mr Luke
He's a good boy, Mr Luke
He's a good boy, Mr Luke
As he plays with the silkies in the sand
He's a good boy, Mr Luke
He's a good boy, Mr Luke
He's a good boy, Mr Luke
And he loves them the best that he can
If a dog loves a sea lion
And a sea lion bites
Then a dog would think twice
About playing in the sea lion band
He's a good boy, Mr Luke
He's a good boy, Mr Luke
He's a good boy, Mr Luke
And he plays with his own kind in the sand
He's a good boy, Mr Luke
He's a good boy, Mr Luke
He's a good boy, Mr Luke
And he plays in the puppy dog band
If a dog loves a sea lion
And a sea lion bites
A dog's heart might turn to ice
But he'll love them just the same as he can
