Tall girls make me tall girls make me nervous they really do. Make me nervous what is it with them that makes me this way you have no idea how it makes me feel me being with them it isn't parts they've got, nor what they haven't it's them closed elevators escalate
like a tall one who wanted me to join mensa with her intangible
Inspired by the visual art and videos of Maria Wulf by Margaret at The Toads. Also by my dog, Adi, and the loving attention she gives when meeting family. I hadn't realized it was "visual art" before. Adi died September 17, 2012 (link)

Katie loved her Papa so very much She remembers the day they went sailing Sailing to places they'd not been before Sail away, sail away, they sailed away
Regent's Park, whose innards were calling them They sailed to places, never seen before Edge of the world was just around the Horn Katie sang, "Sale away, sale away, now"
They talked to ducks resting on the island Papa talked the most, he knew their language Kate laughed and sighed, would this happen again Sailing away, where they'd not been before
Katie wondered now, cause Papa was gone Sailed away, he couldn't come back, he left She'd go there someday too, she'd never been They'd sail on the clouds, sail away some more

- Brendan's theme prompt was "Islands" - Marian's was open forum but she reminded the writers of the very recent death of David Bowie. I chose Bowie's song, "Slip Away" for my inspiration. I wrote it pretty quickly so please pardon me if I sounded too much like I only changed his words a little and wrote it down.

- I promise it was not an adaptation, but what came to my mind after hearing and reading the words he sang. His character had played with his Uncle but in the end he was only remembering those times with his uncle. Right away I was reminded of the time KP (my young granddaughter)(link) and I had rented apaddle boat and went as far as we could go around Regents' Park Lake in London. I won't forget it, I hope she doesn't.
- Writing this made me sad. Even though I see KP now almost every day there will be a time when I will be gone. I hope we get together again one day when we both have sailed away for good. And where we will be we can sail again, some more, this time perhaps in the clouds where we hadn't been.
- My favorite David Bowie song iss "Ch, ch, Changes". What is yours?
. The lyrics, "Slip Away"
Oogie waits for just another day Drags his bones to see the Yankees play Bones boy talks and flickers gray Oh, they slip away
Once a time they nearly might have been Bones and Oogie on a silver screen No one knew what they could do Except for me and you They slip away, they slip away
Don't forget to keep your head warm Twinkle, twinkle uncle Floyd Watching all the world and war torn How I wonder where you are?
Sailing over Coney island
Twinkle, twinkle uncle Floyd We were dumb but you were fun, boy How I wonder where you are?
Oogie knew there's never ever time Some of us will always stay behind
Down in space it's always 1982 The joke we always knew What's a matter with you? C'mon, let's go slip away
Don't forget to keep your head warm Twinkle, twinkle uncle Floyd Watching all the world and war torn How I wonder where you are?
