Three Limericks for Canadian Summers. The heat eats us up like the gas tank of a Hummer. And global warming seems like such a great big bummer. We sweat and we toil,. Complain we will boil,. But come winter we’ll beg for the furnace of summer. The suns fierce rays seem to be frying my brain. And I find my focus is hard to maintain.

The salamander runs on crooked legs through the city. Welcome and applauded thanks to minds eager for fireworks. It does not need to hide in the shadows, forcing its.

Welcome to The Shelf! Quotes from the Shelf. There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed." - Ernest Hemingway. Wednesday, 30 May 2012.
