Owfice Burn and I had an emergency conversation two weeks ago. This is the same emergency conversation we've been having for years.
"Do you know any poems," I asked.
"Oh definitely," she bragged.
"Ok, quick. Tell me some of them. Details. Right now," I said.
Except, just as I suspected, she knows nothing about poetry either. She'll brag on this blog that she does--but investigate further and you'll find out that the extent of her poetry knowledge is Shel Silverstein's "Where the Sidewalk Ends".
So Owfice Burn and I are, once again, back at square one. Ask us about politics, finance, current events, real estate or beer and we'll give you an earful of information that sounds reasonably important. Ask us about deep stuff like poetry, art or the great works of literature and we're dead.
How are we supposed to make friends with all of those fun people who wear the artsy glasses and wispy skirts if we don't know this stuff!
Can someone please help with this emergency.
Oh and so you know, Office Raider doesn't know anything about poetry either.
