Amsterdam at twilight--
behind the red-tinted glass
a mannequin winks

*oh,the red-light district!

loose hook. . .
a fisherman catches himself
and wins first prize!

*I read an article where this kid actually hooked himself--and ended up with a lacerated gash. OUCH!

rising tide
the beach forgets we were here--
but not the clean-up crew!

*the waves wash away our footprints--but not the beer cans from last night's party!

car dashboard
my bobblehead Jesus keeps nodding
to the plastic flowers

*even the plastic flowers need Jesus!

Dear Al, you are so very good at these real life scenarios! Though some of them have a bitter aftertaste!

Thank you for the smiles!
