Headphone Harold
Headphone Harold wore his headphones Through the night and through the day. He said, “I‘d rather hear my music Than the dumb things people say.” In the city’s honkin’ traffic, He heard trumpets ‘stead of trucks. Down the quiet country back roads He heard drums instead of ducks. Through the patterin’ springtime showers He heard guitars instead of rain. Down the track at the railroad crossin’ He heard the trombones--not the train. by Shel Silverstein |

The Mime
The eyes of the mime are cold and intense, A stare both vacant and proud; His look is sheathed in shades of diffidence, His semblance to enshroud. The lips of the mime are silent and dead, Unmoving, unmoved, unmet; The sound of his smile is left unsaid, The touch of his voice unspent. His face a mask, his demeanor a sham His words unspoken untruth, Yet the mute mime remains an epigram Of man's remembered youth The clowns, you see, exist for our progeny In the big tent of the circus; And if clowns exist for our progeny, Then mimes are for the rest of us. See not the unsmiling lips and icy eyes, And hear not the silence after. Look instead as the mime hypnotizes And listen to the laughter. by Ron Carnell |

and my friends all call me "Bess." I find these nicknames more annoying than you'd ever guess. I wish that they would call me by my real name instead. I simply HATE those nicknames, see, my real name is Fred. by Kenn Nesbitt |
