Hobo Jungle
Hey, Dr. J. As much as I like the Jungle--nice people and no dress code—have you noticed that everyone that walks in here develops a speech impediment? What's with that? Of course, almost every cartoon character has one too.
That a life will be spent gaining inches,
When this distance is read in miles.

One thing I really like is when last night's campfire is still burning on Monday morning while everyone else is headed for work. That's something precious a hobo owns for sure. So here's a poem for the first Monday morning of Spring. Maybe sometime I'll let loose with one of my own but for today, here's the beautiful Mr. Ginsburg, still very much alive, riding the electrons from my computer to yours.
1956
In back of the real
railroad yard in San Jose
I wandered desolate
in front of a tank factory
and sat on a bench
near the switchman's shack.
A flower lay on the hay on
the asphalt highway
-- the dread hay flower
I thought -- It had a
brittle black stem and
corolla of yellowish dirty
spikes like Jesus' inchlong
crown, and a soiled
dry center cotton tuft
like a used shaving brush
that's been lying under
the garage for a year.
Yellow, yellow flower, and
flower of industry,
tough spikey ugly flower,
flower nonetheless,
with the form of the great yellow
Rose in your brain!
This the flower of the World.

Bindle Stiff,
I'm no sawbones, I've got a Doctor of Ministry degree, which is fine for a preacher, but not so fine if you've got a broke leg.
As Jerry Clower once said, "I've been educated beyond my intelligence!"
I believe there's another Doctor John that frequents this forum who is a dentist. Maybe he'll come on by the fire to visit a spell.
Now, how 'bout passin' some more of them grits.

Welcome, Dr. John
and, welcome Dr. John.
I'm a psych nurse, so I won't be much help either, with a broken leg, unless the poor victim gets depressed.
Daisy, thanks for the poem! It's what the original Jungle was all about.
It's time now, though, to *ahem* step up to the plate with one of your originals!
San, that post with the picture of the Church Ladies was one of the funniest posts I ever read. I howled!
Will, I finally got that consarned bag off my head. Bet you're sorry now, ain't cha?
