  • The Potted Meat Museum and Spam-ku

    Spam-ku Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam etc. All you Monty Python fans can supply the rest of the lyrics and I apologize for even bringing it up (sick pun intended), but I was goaded by…

    Donna’s link of the day, the Potted Meat Museum, characterized as “the world’s largest & most diverse canned meat collection.” I’m not sure what to make of the Kerry-Edwards T-shirt for dogs.

    Anyway, browsing around on the museum web, wondering whether I could swipe a pic of SPAM without violating seven kinds of copyright law, I also found a link to the SPAM Haiku (or Spam-ku) archive (at MIT, no less). So that makes it poetry related and kosher for this page. You will also find Spam sonnets (Sponnets), Spam limericks (or Spamericks) and other nonsense apparently hosted by John Y. N. Cho, Ph.D.

    A random Spamku by John Mitchell for your Friday reading pleasure:

    Perfection uncanned
    Like a beautiful redhead
    Fresh from her trailer

What I'm Doing...

  • Crepuscular no more, the young raccoon is out with the rising sun to glean sunflower seeds from the bird feeder. Temperatures in the teens. 19 hrs ago
  • The jay works at the suet with the slow regularity of a dippy bird. The snow, once more, is patchy and melting. 1 day ago
  • At dawn, a robin implores us to wake up. Snow is reduced to a few dirty patches under the trees. 6 days ago
  • The line between snow and bare grass traces, ruler straight, the line of the roof beam, the north el of the house where the sun can't reach. 1 week ago
