dinner with friends is like a warm hug with food

(My) “Quotes”

 

I have never been in that situation, myself,

But I would imagine it is something like camping

Out in the North Woods and suddenly

Coming Awake in your tent around midnight

To the horrible snarling and screaming sounds

of a werewolf killing your guard dog

somewhere out in the trees beyond the camp fire.

 

I rode the absent-minded wave for four nebulous years,

Whistling and waving my way through educational anarchy.

Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners

Of whom I am the worst.

So what can I tell you this morning?

 

There is no serious candidate in (our) party this year

who couldn’t pass for the executive vice-

president for mortgage loans

in any hometown bank

from Bangor to San Diego.
