A Poem by Robert Hershon

Sentimental Moment or Why Did the Baguette Crosss the Road?

by Robert Hershon

Don't fill up on bread
I say absent-mindedly
The servings here are huge

My son, whose hair may be
receding a bit, says
Did you really just
say that to me?

What he doesn't know
is that when we're walking
together, when we get
to the curb
I sometimes start to reach
for his hand

Bored

So...here I am in the Computer Center at work.
How bored am I?
I'm so bored that I'm organizing my Yahoo e-mail into folders.

Yep.
...One hour to go.
