I was taking out the garbage and there was a tomato in the driveway.
Decent
size, but green. I was up 5-0 but apparently no shutout this year. I

have to go Doc Ellis on the squirrels.
It rained here for about 3 days straight so I did not put vinegar on the
rags. I should have this morn. But I dilly dallied, and that is my
fault.... The squirrels have made their move, now it is time for counter

That has to be the greatest first line in modern poetry! Heck, poetry
period. T.S. Eliot, step back!
The whole poem is fabulous. Love that line about vinegar, rags & rain.
More!
