A fellow was playing with fire
And created an enormous bonfire
The inferno blazed
Making the fire chief so crazed
He bought his ex-wife a sapphire!

/ June 30, 2011I’ve been following a trial on TV for the past several weeks. A young mother accused of killing her 2 year old daughter. I’m fascinated with the whole process. Her defense team has rested their arguments on her behalf today–soon the jury will be deliberating her future. I definitely believe she is guilty of the crime… Very sad.
I spent time today and tonight with my mother again. Got home late–no writing done today either. 😦

“Bad” is of course in quotations; to me it means courage.

His pockets full of crackers

It blew off both his shoes… lol
