Musings# 389

By "Laughing" Larry Berger

The cable is out

but the bills are paid !

There's food in the fridge

and we're making blueberry pancakes

for breakfast. Yum! 

Life wasn't so bad 

in the days before technology.

People read books and actually talked to  each other! 

well, at least people still read books anyway.

It's funny the things you think about

when the TV isn't working to do your thinking for you. 

Neat huh? Did you catch that Read Books Line? hint hint hint.
