Is Star Trek Geeky
Why yes Good Buddy it is
but the Simpsons rock

I had a dollar
now it is no longer here
Leif Garret on vinyl

Star Trek is geeky
Something I cannot deny
But it still kicks butt!

I no longer use vinyl
My turntable needs a cartridge
mp3's rule!

Have lots of 8-Tracks
But no player anymore
This brings me sadness

The Bay City Rollers
8-Track, Cassette, and LP
Guess who was the dork

Dorks may be dorky
But they know how to save cash
By shopping in thrifts

I am not a dork
But I fell in love with one
I taught him thrifting

How do I scratch my
ever-present creative
itch? By thrifting, natch

I crave the designs
of vintage Marimekko
Rarely found in thrifts

Last Monday I found
A Marimekko panel
That cost me a buck

Yes, I am a dork
But that is OK with me
Aaaaah, Thank You PROZAC!

Wonderful!

Instead of the mug, mom nows wears a tee-shirt that sez:  "I gave them life, and all I got was this lousy mug" ;D ;D

(yes, I did make this up on spur of "the moment")

Ciao,
