Save the Banana!

Monday, May 15, 2006

And so another day of rain came that Monday morning. There were days that were just sleepy, and Monday was one of those days. In some news, the banana as the world knew it was threatening to extinct itself (if a great global effort was not conducted). Collette knew it would not be long before she would see bumper stickers pushing “Save the Banana!”. And despite the absolute ridiculousness of the idea of losing the average-Joe banana, it was almost too funny to take seriously.

Meanwhile, Relevance and Kitts were to arrive that night at the South’s and Carrie, while studying furiously for four exams that weekend, tried to make plans for the Moolah, Shakespeare, and other events over the ten days which were progressively becoming busier for everyone.

And a great storm came in that night – a squall line as dark as a squaw’s pocket. Although nothing really happened by it, just a little rain.

“Does anyone know where the love of God goes
When the words turn the minutes to hours
The searchers all say they’d have made Whitefish Bay
If they’d fifteen more miles behind her.

“They might have split up or they might have capsized
They may have broke deep and took water
And all that remains is the faces and the names
Of the wives and the sons and the daughters.
