     I took a bunch of Yahoo news headlines and tried to make them a poem. It is nonsense, but so is much of the stuff that I read. It is an attempt to respond to the feeling of being overwhelmed by nonsense and not being sure as to what is real. It made me feel better, but I can’t say it makes much sense!

   The picture is extremely cool, and my cat is quite near-sighted. I have a theory, which I’ve never bothered to research, that Calicos stare at you like Border Collies do because Calicos are all near-sighted.

   But the all-time champion near-sighted animal is Bebe. Dad was a miniature dachshund, mum was a full-sized doberman, and I’m not making that up. Bebe was half-blind and bug-eyed. That could be an album title, Half-blind and Bug-eyed. Or a Yahoo headline.

     Wow! You have had a good number of odd animals!

     We had a dog named OJ (for the running back before he decided to kill people) when I was little. I’m pretty sure he was part retriever, part dachshund and part Italian. We had a cat named Zippy Pigg also at one point.

     I’d like to mate a clydesdale and a poodle.
