A Tale of Eek! They’ve sprung a leak in the town of Eek much to everyone’s dismay. It’s been running now about a week yet it isn’t running away. It’s filled a tub made out of teak fashioned by a Greek from Spain. His tub technique was quite unique especially the drain. Would you believe it’s an antique because it’s very old. The grain of wood has a lovely streak it’s something to behold. Its angle’s oblique adding to its mistique it’s amazing how many gallons can fill this teak without growing weak and could chill their ice-cold melons. But since it’s Eek of which I speak they prob’ly haven’t any for it’s a bit southeast of Nome along the Bering Sea so getting a melon home would be no cup o’ tea. So if you go to Eek have a good physique the weather’s awf’ly chilly. Yep, no pipsqueak could run a boutique; why, it’d be downright silly. ©July 13, 2004 Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
