Sawdust restaurants with oyster shells./
Yellow fog that rubs its back upon the windowpanes...
licked its tongue into the corners of the evening...
curled once about the house, and fell asleep./
Do I dare
disturb the universe?
I have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons./
And would it have been worth it, after all,
After the cups, the marmalade, the tea,
Among the porcelain, after some talk of you and me...
To have bitten off the matter with a smile./
I grow old... I grow old...
Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.
I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back...
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.

How could I forget....
I declared a winner @ Sheenavision...
You make a good point, but I do just want to point out that this month I am house-sitting, which includes FREE rent, FREE utilities, FREE internet, a FREE wine cellar and FREE beer to enjoy...
etc. etc.
I think I've been pretty successful this year!
AND I scored a free park pass to Festival du Voyageur since I worked there this year (I never took advantage of it, but still!)
