Well, Rap, I am so embarrassed to find out I have not been keeping up with Jonathan Livingston Seagull. I will look into that immediately.

And while I am at it, I think I will suggest my book club read and discuss some Rod McKuen poetry. That would be so groovy.

Oh, and, btw, considering your interest in Humpty Dumpty, there is even more to think about....yes, indeed......a conspiracy theory......

HUMPTY DUMPTY WAS PUSHED!

Compared to Humpty Dumpty, Rod McKuen's work is naive...without rhyme and rhythm. It also fails to evoke the deep thinking that Humpty Dumpty demands from the reader. Do you think Rod Mc could explain the poem, "Jabberwocky" with the skill and erudition that Humpty did in Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass"?
