An Afternoon Haiku

Who Knows Why?

The SeaWorld dolphins

Slip under waves unbeknownst

Rise with nodding smiles

Simon, Simon, Simon, Simon, Simon, Simon and Garfunkel

We have been blessed with Simons... and Garfunkel of course.

For the most part Simons and Garfunkel were enjoyed in previous decades.

But no more! Cowell is leading a revival movement to put Simons and Garfunkel back into the forefront of our modern society.

Just looking at these Simons and Garfunkel in their purest forms sends shivers down my spine.

Join me in celebrating all that is glorious and splendid... All that is the Simons and Garfunkel!

sorry 'bout that.

i didn't mean to bother you with that obvious fact.

and pants fit as pat

it's clear that you indeed have a fat sister

and i am really sorry 'bout that.

another nugget.

Madeline

Following the baptismal dunk the baby cried,
The people clapped, smiled, rejoiced.
Food and drink and warm, breezy air.

The young couple with young child
Starting their lives onward from a
Picnic and sun dresses and loving
Companions.

Muffins and fruit
Mimosas and mementos.

A healthy gust whipped through and a
Lone party balloon broke free.
As white a baby Madeline's baby dress.

It danced and rose into the sky
Higher and higher
And we all watched in wonder.

POW!

I've changed my mind. I always thought that if I was a super hero my power would be to be able to go invisible. That way I could listen to people talk about me (because that's all people do, right?)

So, instead of hearing really mean things about me I've changed my power to.... (drum roll) the ability to encapsulate a time, choice, lifestyle change, etc into a musical montage.

Now of course there would be the obvious; a girlfriend is thinking of loosing weight (Michael Jackson's "Beat It"), a young couple discovering each other (Madonna's "Lucky Star), falling in love (Olivia Newton John's "Hopelessly Devoted to You"), getting married (Whitney Houston's version of "I Will Always Love You" even though Dolly Parton's version is better), and then either one dying (Celin Dion's "My Heart Will Go On") or getting a divorce (Alannis Morisette's "You Oughta Know").

But the fun would come with the random and or inappropriate montages...

A woman recovering from a horrible accident (Don Henley's "All She Wants to do is Dance").

Some guy suffering from really bad constipation ( Beatle's "All Things Must Pass").

A teen girl battling with anorexia (Jimmy Buffet's "Cheeseburger in Paradise").

Parents dropping their child off for the 1st day of school (Madonna's "Like a Virgin").

A young professional walking to her car late at night (Tiffany's, "I Think We're Alone Now).

I could go on, but unfortunately I am not a super hero and I have to work. Here's hoping you have your self many joyous montages....

Love,

Lyric

(that would be my super hero name)
