Yes, It’s Got Cute Animals In It

First of all, RIP Nora Ephron.  I wasn’t super familiar with her work, but “When Harry Met Sally” is one of the greatest films of all time, it was incredibly funny at moments but it was, overall, a very intelligent commentary on male-female relationships.  That right there puts her in the Pantheon of all-time great screenwriters.

Second, I sure hope Robert Reich is right, that the Supreme Court will uphold Obamacare 6-3, but I think he overestimates Roberts and Kennedy.  They are just as corporate-friendly as Alito, Scalia and Thomas, just perhaps a little bit less Neanderthal, and I think it will go 5-4 against, because they couldn’t give a shit what anybody thinks.    But I hope he’s right and I’m wrong.

But third, and most importantly, a bit of self-promotion.  My latest book, “Uncle Willie’s Very Silly Animal Poems”, is available on Amazon.  Illustrations by BooBoo.

A  few examples:

Cows and Horses, Dogs and Cats

People, Sheep and Camels

all feed their babies on Mamma’s milk

and thus are known as mammals

and:

Koala Bears are very cute

and Panda Bears are, too

one lives on Eucalyptus leaves

the other on bamboo

this is just to let you know

if you  were unaware

the lovable Koala

Is not, in fact, a bear

See, informative and everything.  The drawings are great.  Makes a great gift for kids, or people who like animals, or people who don’t really like animals very much at all, for that matter.

One more, as a closing thought for the day:

If Dinosaurs had never disappeared

life on Earth would be a little weird

we complain about traffic, rain and taxes

but we don’t have to deal with Tyrannosaurus Rexes
