MESSIERÂ 10
The globular cluster is descending
Watch out if you can
The universe is more than
we can control
so let’s enjoy the colors
it brings and hope we are
gone before it ends
but if everlasting life is
a guarantee
then who cares
Let’s dance all night
with those that love freedom

Customer: “I’m glad to see you are in a good mood. The hostess who sat us was not.”
Me: She is never in a good mood. I nicknamed her, “FREE Appetizer.”

This was my 2005 Arts Night donation, ‘Crossroads; Robert Johnson’.
Homage to  Robert  Johnson
Came up da river
playin’ my guitar
Got lost in Memphis
‘n’ lost my shoes
Gonna try to go home
if I got enough time
Gotta get away from
Memphis girls and booze

On a Robert Johnson postcard to Dave Peterson,
leader of Chord on Blue in which I drummed.
Customer: I can’t cut thru this steak.
ME: Maybe you have a dull knife?
C: No, it is really tough.
I take the offending steak back to the grill chef . . .
ME: Customer is saying they can’t cut thru this steak.
After closer inspection by the chef he says,
“Does he realize this is a T-Bone and there is a bone down the center of the steak that apparently he is trying to cut thru by these apparent steak knife marks.”

Don’t know what to do with the upper layer of my mind.
You know, way up there where it gets foggy.
Perhaps I’ll split the clouds with a sharp pen,
then watch ink drops dance poems into focus………
