Four silly ditties

So I was feeling silly:

He really wants to miss me
send me to Mississippi
miss me miss me miss me
miss me Mississippi
send me postage due
[164.273a]

cargo cargo cargo
weigh me send me far
go ship me north to Fargo
by cargo through Chicago
[164.273b]

Jayhawks squawk
red blue red blue red blue
Wildcats boo
purple purple purple
[164.273c]

Cold disaster plucked from the crease.
Place the stick to puck that slides greased.
Calm the beats that suck at your soul:
quickslap quickslap quickslap quickslap
quickslap quickslap GOAL!
[164.273d]

Just had songs and rhythm going through my mind today. Sometimes it is important to go with the flow.

The title to yesterday's poem will remain "La Bella Vita". It is true that the adjective usually follows the noun in romance languages, but I remember lessons in French on the different meaning of ancien if it occurs before or after the noun ('former' versus 'old' if I remember right). I asked Rocio who teaches Italian which would apply best to a poem about my niece Bella. She said "La Bella Vita" which places emphasis on 'bella'.

Me: Got up late; had french toast at Kelly's and watched the KU-KSU game; went home and listened to the radio until KU Jayhawks won 30-24; went to Janette's for a potluck; came home to Ray cooking barbecue; came downtown to Henry's.

Kansas: 76 degrees at 11 p.m., sultry day.
