Doing it Again





Hello!

Thanks to all who came out to the Clean River/ Olde English show on Saturday. We're going to do it one more time and I recommend you come on out. This weekend it won't be raining. At least outside, it won't. I can't control what goes on in your brain.

But yes. Come to Juvie Hall Saturday at 8...5 bucks gets you a ticket and a tongue kiss from someone. I also can't control who tongue kisses you. Last week we raffled off a coffee maker...this week? An entire Elk.

Here is a poem by a man who wishes Eisenhower was still in power:

Eisen-POWER

By Jim McKenna

So what if there's new iPods,
They can't put Dwight back in the White House.
And, oh is that a mouse?
Scurrying across my kitchen floor?
They used to call Dwight E., the exterminator.
He'd have fixed it by now.

And in the star-filled night,
I feel so cold,
Because I know that earthquakes are inevitable.
That's right.
Dwight,
Dwight D.,
Had the power to end plate-techtonics.
Forcing the San Andreas fault back together with just one hand.

Some say it's the hand of God.
I say it's just our greatest leader.
Dwight.

And when the Soviet Union was all crazy, who was there to say "Hey, stop being all crazy."
Dwight.
And when the Fertile Crescent was no longer fertile who cried every night?
Dwight.
And when the Civil War ended who said "Finally, we can eat."
Dwight.
Dwight Eisenhower discovered helium.
Dwight Eisenhower invented spelling bees.

Can you hear me Dwight?
Because I hear you.
Every night as I lay down.
You sing Fats Domino songs into my ear,
And all is well.

Love,
Jim McKenna.

Hey, you probably caught my comment on Olde English's board, but I was really impressed with your material. Great job on Saturday night, all three of you.
