Love the Jabberwock


Yes,
'Twas,
Brillig and
With slithy Toves
That gyred and gimbled in
In the Wabe. What on earth is a
Wabe? And then he goes on - the stage is now set for - 

Jabberwocky.

The Detective

she
like 
many
policemen
used forensics with
the best new scientific tools
but what she really looked for was the crack in the wall
watching for the instant when the human being came out from behind the opponent

probably square


if there exist more trees
in the world than there are
leaves on any one tree 
then surely we find two 
trees that are bound to have 
the same number of leaves

probably more
than two as is 
probable and
almost certain

throng of juncos 
backyard dances
lives need loving*
