Straight Into the Water

You dropped me
straight into the water,
you left me
in the middle of the sea,
'Fore you left me
you said
"Don't talk to the otters:
you said,
"just don't touch them ponies"

Or that's what I thought
I heard,
but it might have
 been something like
blub blub,
blub blub blub blub,
It was hard to hear
 your voice from
  beneath the waves

Now if you did say
ponies in fact,
I have to say,
I don't quite
know what you meant
All the sea-horses are
downright cordial
and the small ones
seem to be made
 of nothing but pure whimsy

Maybe you said Hippos
instead of ponies
now the hippo on the other hand get downright moody
and some days
they're more than a little angsty.
A Hippo tantrum
is no small load to bear

The otters, though
sly and playful,
have never once
led me astray

You dropped me
straight into the water
you left me,
but perhaps
I should be glad

Busy to the Point of Sunshine

I have so much to do today that I'm not really even sure where to begin. So of course I am writing a blog post instead. Completely reasonable; still productive just in a different way.

Dear reader, have you been outside yet today? It's pretty dang nice out there. I do not know who keeps flipping the switches on the temperature settings for the world, its been pretty back and forth, a climatological ping-pong game so to speak. But we probably wouldn't enjoy the warmth half as much if there weren't so many cold ones.

Like I said I have a ton to do, that's how this entire quarter has been and this week has twice as much on my plate. Its never dull, but its always crushing. Or it never rains, it always pours. I know it will all get done, because it always does, and I somehow pull it all together, but its never that much fun. You're reading a book and you think, will the next page be any better? Will everything turn out in the end?

My friend showed me this video and I think its quite amazing. The dancing, the scene transformation, the overall ridiculousness. I approve. It's sure to at least put a smile on your face.
