The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for February 19, 2011

Ah, thats where that originated.

And is she poetry in motion??

That’s a good guess, Leaky.

My love, I always read her like a book Though I am fiction and she’s poetry I read her poems but she would never look at my stories based in history When dating got to be too tiresome I told her that I thought I’d like a change. She threw to me a literary crumb by reading songs like “Home Home on the Range.” The music never worked to soothe my heart I told Miss Poetry that I was done She laughed and said “Don’t be a silly f-art. For History can never stand alone Dry facts are dead unless they’re joined to art.” Thus I’m doomed to repeating myself But at least my love is not stuck on the shelf.

^Not great, but I didn’t have a lot of time.

Because I always have the vacuum cleaner running.

Very clever….and now we know the rest of the story.

is that picture on the wall suppose to be their child

And Poetry answered History, “Oh, for no rhyme or reason.”

cedes29 - That can’t be a picture of their kid - he had himself edited back in the ’80s.
