a short poem

Guess who
 went to the zoo?

And what did she spot? - 

An Ocelot

(you can't see him, 'cause he's on the tree limb)

Ocelot, Ocelot...

Ocelot, ocelot, where have you gone?
Morning is over and new slouch is on...
Your stripes could all fade in the poisonous day...
When you see the sunlight move out of the way...

You prance with the beast you berate every night...
And silently slouch through the forest by light...
Don't be the only one left on the block...
Come hide in the herd and float with the flock...

Ocelot, ocelot, where are you now?
You never listen to me anyhow...
You wandered and ambled you walk now you run...
Knowing you'll bake like a snake in the sun...
-  Phish

Like father, like son...

At least it's not her pupik....

Even better than the real thing...

If I can't go to Ravinia....I'll bring Ravinia to Talega.  Saw a U2 tribute band at our local park.  Sounded great.  Played all the hits and even closed with a cover of a cover:  Helter Skelter.  Good time was had by all.

So proud...

My daughter has embarked upon a new career path.  She is into designing cereal box fronts.  So far, her creations have included:
