Daffodils are everywhere this week. Why is it that I have never planted daffodils? Strange oversight. They are undeniably a pretty flower.
All week long though I have not been able to get a rhyme out of my head. It’s something I read in MAD when I was a boy.
I wandered lonely as a clod,
just gathering old rags and bottles.
When onward on my way I plod
I saw a host of axolotls.
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
A sight to make a man’s blood freeze.
Please, make this go away!

Much of what passes the eye in a cursory reading deserves a closer look: what the mind writes off as garbage may be worth a second look.
