Sigh, a tedious one coming up.



Have not seen this Guy in years
In college American History
Asked the questions that
First displayed his extensive
Knowledge on the subject
Took notes on little ringbound
Notepads. Eccentric to all get out.
Voice like Elmer Fudd
Wascally Wabbit.

Now here he was in Mall food court.
Wanting to talk. Reminisce.
About what? I wondered.
Oh, Doug is it? Imagine.
The other day I WAS THINKING…
Yabbita, Yabbita…

It’s been so nice.
Having this talk/monologue.

Yeah, sure has. Bye.
