A Human Mind

The human mind is an interesting thing

Mine is very

As it tends to wander

I mean

Explore

 

I have been told by an authority

My wife

That she's never seen one like it

Although how she can see a mind

I don't know

 

She has seen a lot in her life

Both with and before me

She was a Travel Agent

She's been to Turkey

I like turkey

 

I made an interesting stuffing for turkey once

It was during my time in the seafood retail business

In a fish market

It, the stuffing I mean, had shrimp, scallops and crayfish in it

My wife didn't like it much, she's of Irish heritage

 

She's been to Ireland too

Twice

Once in college and once with her family

Ireland is where Delorian made his cars in the 1980s

Before he was arrested for trafficking in *******

 

I have not been to Ireland

I have been to France, Belgium and England

I stayed in Waterloo Belgium for two weeks

In the 80's

When I was 25

 

Waterloo is where Napoleon was finally vanquished

Beaten by an Englishman

They have a monument, the lion, on top of a big hill there

I had to climb it twice

The first time I forgot my camera

 

I got a new camera recently

A Pentax

I have had several since Waterloo

The camera hasn't been anywhere interesting

Just my back yard

 

I use it to take pictures of birds

At our feeder

In the big maple tree

On the ground

There is even a turkey that comes in our yard

 

My wife's been to Turkey

She was a Travel Agent
