It's almost Valentine's Day!!!!!!! Is your loved one hard of hearing? Maybe she'd appreciate a copy of the love poem I'm writing for the hearing impaired. I'm not finished yet, but here's how it starts. See if you can guess what the poet (me) is saying. I'll give phonetic hints along the way, then print out the whole thing in ordinary script at the end.
Okay, let's do this thing!
(Cough! Cough!)
Oops! Sorry about that.
Okay, here goes......

llllllll..... There, I let that last "L" syllable just roll off my tongue.
The whole thing is "My-love-for-you-is-like-a-tickled-thistle." Tickled thistle...get it?...it's a repetition of the "th" sound. Us poets know about stuff like that.
Notice that I left out harsh, explosive syllables...you know, stuff like....
"PATTERSON'S"
"POOCH!"
Don't ask me how I know to do that. It's a gift I was born with.
Harhar, looking great Eddie! The wide angle lens suits you, oddly.
ReplyDeleteHowever I have some bad news, mutual hero and TV giant Sid Caesar has merged with the infinite.
Hilarious sir.
ReplyDeleteAbout that comment you posted the other day about what I had said about the Spumco book. At this point, I'm pretty neutral about that whole situation and dont feel it helps anyone in the animation industry to keep dwelling on such drama and back then, I had still been very disillusioned.
