The place was crowded with weary travelers and the band was loud.

I've been considering measures to take against vending machines that refuse to work.

I haven't any concrete numbers, but I would guess that in the 50 or so years I've been feeding money into these callous contraptions, they actually have worked only about 50 percent of the time. A few times when they don't work, the machine doesn't deliver the object I have selected, but...

First Love

I remember the first time I tried it

I was only a lad in my teen

I was much older than she

And she was so fair and serene

It was out in the barn I remember

The evening was sented with clover in bloom

And the fragrance of freshly mowen hay

So I eat...

......I DON'T REMEMBER WHO I SENT THIS TO !!!!!!

My forgetter's getting better,
but my rememberer is broke.
To you that may seem funny
but, to me, that is no fucking
joke.

For when I'm "here" I'm wondering
if I should be fucking "there" and,
