I'm going to rise soon, said
the doughboy to the cowboy
oh boy, said the tall-boy, woodenly,
but he would, wouldn't he.

sorry 'bout that, I was
just oiling the typewriter keys and
those words slipped out from the ribbon.

I took her picture,
should have used a Nikon but all I had
was an old Box Brownie and a new Instamatic
alternatives give but sometimes the quality is taken.
