It's two for the price of one this week, a poem. "One More Saturday Nite" and an illustration, "Finding The Path." A sort of poetic and graphic Sunday Funnies combo. I hope you enjoy them.
Dear Whoever,
One more Saturday night. Everyone seems to have something urgent to do: people to see, family oblongations, birthdays, dances, performances, shopping, dinner out, snipe hunting, nit-picking, etc., etc.
We stare at the TV wishing someone would pay off our plastic debt, someone with a big heart & a wallet to match.
We thank the Great Spirit or whoever is dishing out this great life. It’s especially nice to have this quiet night & a glass of whatever ales us.
After we recharge our batteries, we’ll attack our enemies in a passive-aggressive frenzy & vanquish our foes, even if they exist only in our imaginations.
We are keeping in mind all past good counsel. We lard our pantry with bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, mayo, good bread, cheese & vino.
This neighborhood is OK but seems to include a lot of general strife & frequent warfare. We give thanks that Coyote keeps playing his tricks, but wish he’d take a break sometimes.
We would welcome blessings from The Powers That Be (if only they cared!).
We know the end is near but hope it will be long, peaceful & gentle & bathed in golden light. Or so quick we’ll hardly know it’s happened.
Hoping you are the same.
Sincerely,
Mr. & Mrs. Ebson Everyperson
Bob Loomis
