It’s a lovely summer evening. Perfect for sitting on the back deck, enjoying a glass of red wine, and listening to some classic poetry.
So sit back and enjoy the video tribute…

“String Cheese” by Dave Paulsen (circa 1989)
You think you’re so smart
Shedding your skin like a cylindrical reptile
Take heed though little dairy product
Your changes are numbered
Author’s Note: besides becoming an instant classic at my late ‘80s high school lunch table, “String Cheese” was also winner of the 2013 Willmar Public Library “Potweet Contest.”
Okay, you were so good sitting through that and the night is so lovely, here’s another poem. Fresh off the presses, just authored. Reflect on the quality, marvel at the genius.
“Lost Leaf” by Dave Paulsen (approximately 6:30PM)
Leaf on my keyboard
on a warm summer night
Leaf on my keyboard
such a natural delight
Well folks, you’ve suffered through enough, but I have one more treat for you. This evening was apparently so romantic that Batman was moved to finally propose to Wonder Woman. Special thanks to my 8-year-old son Sam for arranging this timeless romantic encounter.
Final Author’s Note: please, excuse Batman kneeling on a McDonald’s French Fry Transformer. He was so moved by the moment that he had trouble keeping his balance, I think we can all relate.
Goodnight and may you find inspiration (no matter how silly) in the warm gentle breezes of summer.
