My thanks to JohnG and FJL for noting my "milestone".  I, too, missed it.

I shall spend the day scouring the internet in search of the unnamed writer/director of "One Starry Night" who was featured in the captions to all the pictures BK shared in today's column.

I'm sure the writer/director has a proper name and a deep, probing search will probably see it turn up.   Or is that turnip?

That last post was a little yoke and need not be treated seriously or with the name of said unnamed writer/director, whose name I do know.

My question for ASK BK DAY is:

What is the shortest rehearsal schedule you have had for a PLAY?

Probably for a full production a couple of weeks.

Good Morning all:


TOD:


Dear BK;

Since my birthday is approaching soon, I wonder if you could give us a tiny hint of what your book is about?

That could be my birthday gift from you!

I wish I could, but there have just been too many instances of prying eyes reading stuff I've talked about and then ripping it off wholesale.  Since the book won't be finished for at least three more weeks (if I keep this pace) and since it won't come out for a couple of months after that, I just can't take the chance that someone will see what I'm doing and then magically we'll see something just like it appear out of nowhere.

I'm up, I've futzed and finessed, I'm still feeling a bit queasy, I added a paragraph to one thing from the last batch of pages, I've printed out that one and all the new stuff and will shortly get it to Muse Maragaret.

I enjoyed all of the poems yesterday, so here is one of my favorite RECITATIONS:

Someone ate the baby it's rather sad to say
Someone ate the baby so she won't be out to play
We'll never hear her whiney cry or have to feel if she is dry
We'll never hear her asking why why why someone ate the baby

Someone ate the baby it's absolutely clear
Someone ate the baby cause the baby isn't here
We'll give away her toys and clothes we'll never have to wipe her nose
Dad says that's the way it goes someone ate the baby
Someone ate the baby what a frightful thing to eat
Someone ate the baby though she wasn't very sweet

It was a heartless thing to do the policemen haven't got a clue
I simply can't imagine who would go and (burp) eat the baby

Shel Silverstein

I love this poem!  Another of my favorite funny poems is "The Prime of Life" by Isaac Asimov.

I'm very sleepy at the moment, and i need to get my energy up.  My goddaughter Charlotte is coming over tonight to watch DALLAS BUYERS CLUB with me.  I'm looking forward to seeing her and the film.

A poem I've loved ever since I had to memorize it in 9th grade English class:

By Rudyard Kipling

When Earth's last picture is painted and the tubes are twisted and dried,
 When the oldest colours have faded, and the youngest critic has died,
 We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it -- lie down for an aeon or two,
 Till the Master of All Good Workmen shall put us to work anew!
 
And those that were good shall be happy: they shall sit in a golden chair;
 They shall splash at a ten-league canvas with brushes of comets' hair;
 They shall find real saints to draw from -- Magdalene, Peter, and Paul;
 They shall work for an age at a sitting and never be tired at all!
 
And only the Master shall praise us, and only the Master shall blame;
 And no one shall work for money, and no one shall work for fame,
 But each for the joy of the working, and each, in his separate star,
 Shall draw the Thing as he sees It for the God of Things as They Are!

A fun song lyric:

Down on an island in the Southern Seas,
 There lives a lassie named Minnie Breeze;
 And all the natives agree that she's
 The hottest thing in Trinidad!
 
When Minnie dances, I guarantee
 With every move of her vertebrae
 The temperature jump up ten degree!
 In Trinidad that isn't bad!
 
Aye aye aye, they call her Minnie from Trinidad,
 Aye aye aye, they all love Minnie from Trinidad,
 Aye aye aye, and all the natives would be so sad
 If Minnie ever left Trinidad!
 
Although the natives love Minnie so,
 Minnie had herself a steady beau;
 A fellow known as Calypso Joe,
 And Minnie swore they'd never part!
 
But fate stepped in only as fate could,
 Min won a contest for dancing good,
 So she went away to Hollywood;
 When Joe heard that it broke his heart!
 
In Hollywood Minnie traveled far,
 They changed her name to Minnie La Mar,
 And pretty soon she became a star,
 The siren of the picture show!
 
But one day Minnie got awful mad,
 a guy got fresh and she said, "You cad!
 My heart belongs to my Trinidad,
 My Trinidad Calypso Joe".
 
Aye aye aye, they call her Minnie from Trinidad,
 Aye aye aye, in Hollywood Minnie met a cad;
 Aye aye aye, but there is only one native lad
 Gets chinny with Minnie from Trinidad!
 
So Minnie gave up her dough and fame,
 And she went back to from where she came;
 And when she got there she heard with shame
 That her Calypso Jo was dead!
 
When she heard that, she almost died,
 She got a gun to try suicide!
 But as she started to shoot, she cried,
 "I think I'd rather live instead!".
 
But now the natives are mighty glad,
 'Cause Minnie came back to Trinidad!
 Aye aye aye aye,
 Aye aye aye aye aye aye aye,
 Aye aye!
 Aye aye!

It's not my favorite song from the film.  That would be "You Stepped Out of A Dream".

The errant and truant factor, not to mention that lack of posting, has contributed to the dearth of pages.
