Spring is Springing
Mule Sense
You can literally run a horse to death.
On the other hand, a mule will take a rest break
regardless of your orders. Maybe, we should
use more mule sense in our own lives.
Decibel Dullness (This really happened.)
We stared at the radio in despair!
Our recorded cantata was on the air.
We'd hoped our fortissimos would sound bright,
Our gentle pianissimos, soft and light.
The radio tech who was new to his trade
Decided adjustments had to be made.
He made loud parts softer, and soft parts louder.
That's about as appealing as cold, clam chowder!
A level volume was his desire
Which made for a very disgruntled choir.
Wake The Baby?
You've heard of letting sleeping dogs lie.
When I became a parent, I discovered that the same thing
can apply to sleeping babies and for pretty much
the same reasons.
College Exam
Two of us were left trying to squeeze a decent grade
out of a two hour college essay exam. The professor
appeared to be ready to leave. As I handed in my paper,
I reminded him, "You know, we always save the best
for the last!" His response? I'll leave that
to your imagination.
