Photo finish Friday: “Pretty in other than pink”
Rubber Eraser Day: not just pink parallelograms anymore. With a large enough eraser, what would you “rub out” in your past?

Photo finish Friday: “Handle it”
So much arrogance. So little time.
Yell me your truth words. /
My ears already bloody /
from revelation.

Photo finish Friday: “Frog prince”
Prince or frog?
Lass from Killarney
There once was a lass from Killarney /
who found a frog prince full of blarney. /
“Kiss me, here,” he did say, /
“and we’ll be joined this fine day.” /
She did and she found him quite horny.

Photo finish Friday: “The gap”
Filling in the gaps.
Gloriously tasty teeth
Oh, those teeth, those gloriously tasty teeth
I chew and swallow because my tummy’s hollow
and I feel a sense of release.
Oh, those gloriously tasty teeth.
My Mom says they’re only Smarties
a candy sweet and yummy hardy.
But my front teeth are swallowed and gone
going where my food and Smarties belong.
They taste sweet from my head to my feet.
Oh, the taste of my teeth can’t be beat.
Oh, those teeth, those gloriously tasty teeth
I chew and swallow because my tummy’s hollow
and I feel a sense of release.
Oh, those gloriously tasty teeth.

Photo finish Friday: “Duck, duck, goose”
Canada geese strolling through the Fellini Kroger parking lot.
Duck, duck, goose
trouble’s on the loose.
From Canada they came;
some honk like it’s a shame.
They’re looking for your bread.
They’ll take your buns instead.
Duck, duck goose
trouble’s on the loose.
You may stop and think —
but, yes, it’s going to stink.
And down at the Fellini,
they may even take your panini.

Photo finish Friday: “Drink in the writing”
Welcome to the World of Library Bars

Booze and books just go together. Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Mailer…just about every single author ever—there’s a connection between fine spirits and fine words. And there are a handful of bars that make that connection quite literally, by serving their drinks amidst stacks of the world’s best literature. They’re library bars—cozy, often dark and kind of quiet watering holes where you can get a classic cocktail and thumb through a classic novel. Check out the gallery for several of the most picturesque library bars, and imagine yourself drinking Scotch in a place with many leather-bound books that smells of rich mahogany.
To see photos from the list of literary bars, click on the this link: http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2016/02/welcome-to-the-world-of-library-bars.html
You will even see one from my hometown, Knoxville, TN, The Peter Kern Library in the Oliver Hotel.
