childhood nostalgia

True Story
Shel Silverstein

This morning I jumped on my horse
And went out for a ride,
And some wild outlaws chased me
And they shot me in the side.
So I crawled into a wildcat's cave
To find a place to hide,
But some pirates found me sleeping there,
And soon they had me tied
To a pole and built a fire
Under me--I almost cried
Till a mermaid came and cut me loose
And begged to be my bride,
So I said I'd come back Wednesday
But I must admit I lied.
Then I ran into a jungle swamp
But I forgot my guide
And I stepped into some quicksand,
And no matter how I tried
I couldn't get out, until I met
A water snake named Clyde,
Who pulled me to some cannibals
Who planned to have me fried.
But an eagle came and swooped me up
And through the air we flied,
But he dropped me in a boiling lake
A thousand miles wide.
And you'll never guess what I did then--
I DIED.

Yes, I am still working on the pirate story. It has been merely delayed by procrastination and school work.

Success!

Molly is the best!!! She helped me figure out what I did wrong on the Sound of Music ordering form and was able to help me fix it. Now I've ordered Elisabeth (the Wien cast) and Dracula. Now I just have to wait for them to come in. (sits in front of the mailbox and Stares)

Just in case you didn't catch it: Molly rocks my socks.
