Steam over roast duck,
(rabbit, dragon, snake and horse)
Dinner at HO-HO's

Pretty in profile,
young woman's smile, infectious,
dining at seven

Fortune cookie reads:
Bury unworkable dreams
or they bury you

Clever. And thanks for reminding me, I need to get the dog in the house.

Are any dreams "workable?"

Bury unworkable dreams
or they bury you....

reminds me of this one I heard today and quickly wrote down:


"The only way to get what you really want in life is to let go of what you don't want"

good series
Read it again; still works well
creating sense and mood; good last lines,
