Yo Andrew,

Minds will do that every once in a while. You have to keep them on a pretty short leash.

I liked this because it could be interpreted in two ways. Of course, knowledge of the movie is a must otherwise I am not sure whether others will appreciate this gem.

REJ: Thanks for the read and write. Ya, I just have to remember where I put the leash.

Earl: You’re right about knowing the movie. Glad you see the depth in this one. I wrote it after having a complete memory loss of already having done something five minutes earlier. It sort of summed up the feeling I felt when discovering I had previously gone down that path.

I love this! What a wonderful haiku on an original subject but one I can certainly relate to. I also write a lot of haiku, tanka, etc. Thanks for this refreshing, humorous, delightful poem.

You think you have it bad, Andrew? I hid my own Easter eggs this year!

(still haven't found all of them)

Well, at least I get to meet a lot of new people every day

Like the Ark and warehouse integration. That WAS a great last scene, wasn't it?

Bastet: Hey, thanks for recognizing the haiku. I don’t write many of them. I’m just not that cleaver. I think it takes real effort and talent to do it effectively. Peace.

Balladeer: One of my all time favorite endings in moviedom. As for finding the eggs… After this long who needs memory?… Just follow your nose. Thanks for dropping by.
