Adam's Beanstalk

A daily adventure-bag of insights and old bones from an unknown poet in Manitoba's south. Caveat: Not everything is to be taken literally. Things are often shaded with poetic crayons; be the owl. Also, not all these bones are collected from different fields. Find themes that run througout each post and the journal as a whole; the most insignificant event may be part of an ear.

Trip Day 1

Well, we indeed left early on the trip, but it was a beautiful day. We were greeted with moonbeams coming down from the clouds like a beanstalk (I suppose) while listening to 'The Boxer' by S & G. Our van had the best music - thanks Karen & Gabriella! After this there was a great pink sunrise (which I sometimes call sunset). We stopped for supper at Peter's Drive In in Calgary, to which I coughed up this quick poem with a swell beat:

Peter’s Drive In

All the hottest cars
come to Peter’s Drive In
For their greasy double fries
all the ladies beg their men

All the cutest girls
are eating at the Drive In
And on the picnic tables
carve their names inside a heart

All the greasy guys
Are scoping out the Drive In
In their ‘57 rides
While at home they’ve left their wives.
