What did you expect?

2007-06-28

Good morning Boys and Girls.

On the streets of the city, he was an icon. Everyone had seen him, though no one knew his name.

An overcoat, a long scruffy beard. Red Tennis shoes.

He made his living selling rhymes, sight unseen. He'd have these beige envelopes in his backpack and you never knew what you were going to get.

Usually they weren't bad, but the fun was in the not knowing.

One time I bought “snatched” and “attached.” My buddy bought “zeal” and “appeal” one day and was so happy he searched the guy out the next day too, but was disappointed when he got “from” and “one.”

“Those don’t really rhyme,” he complained to the guy after excitedly tearing open his envelope and then feeling let down and a little cheated; a contract unsatisfactorily fulfilled.

The guy shrugged. “So make up one of your own, ya lazy asshole. I don’t make any guarantees. I do this to amuse people, not to complete their lives.” He picked up his backpack and turned to walk away, shaking his head, “stupid f*cker,” he muttered to himself...

It gave me an idea...



Be good to everyone.
