And having met you, I know how easily <i>I</i> can make you laugh, so I'll only worry when that stops :)<br />It's a good poem though, a nice quick reflection on you you're feeling.<br /><br />@g2: I like the idea of going sinking when you need a new sink! I think you could have made that clearer in the story if they'd not been surprised to find it though -- what do you think?<br /><br />Sinking<br /><br />It just looked like a sandy beach,<br />A relaxing place to land,<br />And now we're sinking slowly,<br />In beautiful quicksand.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08503319830584828982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149217012399643733.post-63540742770921767862010-06-19T21:58:28.823-07:002010-06-19T21:58:28.823-07:00I tried for four poetic lines, but it wasn't q...I tried for four poetic lines, but it wasn't quite working...<br />- - - - - <br />"I got a bite!"<br />"What?

Quick, reel it in!"<br />"This one's a toughie, here, gimme a hand!"<br />The two struggled with herculean strength to haul whatever marine monster was on the other end of that line up onto the river bank.<br />Finally, loudly, they managed to bring the creature up, covered in plants and debris. After they cleared some of the vegetation off, they sat there gaping at it.<br />"I don't believe it."<br />"I can't either."<br />"You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?"<br />"That it's a shame to find such a nice kitchen sink in the middle of the river?"<br />"...
