Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for July 11, 2015

Calvin’s father might need that remedy Phoebe’s requesting. He got up to do something, but suddenly remembering a cigarette ad jingle from years ago made him forget.

There must not be any Cicadas in that forest.

A couple of weeks ago, I was making deliveries in a suburban area that had lost electrical power. It was striking how much quieter everything was without the ‘hum’. You don’t notice how loud the world is these days until it suddenly gets quiet.

Ear-worms are bad enough, but a jingle?The worst.Say, does anyone remember that Oscar Myer jingle?

Spell of Forgetfulness again?

Who else remembers the original Big Mac jingle? “Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheeses, pickles, onions. on a sesame-seed bun.”

I used to say it backward. “Bun seed sesame on, onions, pickles, cheese, lettuce, sauce special, patties beef all two”

Go on Phoebe.

She obviously doesn’t hear The Taos Hum, which is the worst of them all!!
