Fame can be so fleeting.
Fortune can be fickle.
I never sought for fame.
But I would not turn down a nickle.

Choking on the stale perfumes of overnight.
Coffee! we bring. Doughnuts! we sing.
Open the gates to freshness and light!

Off the cliff of consciousness
Brain unleashed
Perchance to dream

Now and then, I've captured "first"
Such glory fades so fast,
But at least you can't get knocked off "first"
The way you can at "last"

Time to take a walk's walk.

Just shaking off my sock's sock.

Fog wreathes the woods
The dog still stinks.

And oozed down the halls
