curmudgeon filled donuts

quote:  
1. Find a subject you care about.
2. Do not ramble, though.
3. Keep it simple.
4. Have the guts to cut.
5. Sound like yourself.
6. Say what you mean to say.
7. Pity the readers.
Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
fall fell on us this year.  the trees sighed and lost their leaves, bicycles' spokes rebelled, knitted hats hugged foreheads, big toes made holes in wool socks, red blood cells put on long underwear, red noses sniffled in unison waiting for buses and trains, fingers curled inside wrinkled palms, eyes took snapshots of falling leaves creating flipbooks, mouths carefully (so as not to be too generous) smiled.
