State of the Ape XXIX
Once more, thank you for your prayers.
Still not much news. No dizzies. Took a long walk the other day: about a mile (and was dead beat afterwards; but — no push, no progress).
Edwina 3 still moving very slowly, but not dead in the water. Zoe is getting close; the map is done, and so is the formatting in Vellum. Just waiting on the cover.
Everyone else is well.
And, just because I have them (and they’ll never see the light of day otherwise), I’ll be putting up selections from my store of clerihews written many years ago, when I was just beginning to scribble.
Humphrey Bogart
Gave a brilliant performance as Mozart
(Though the part was only a walk-on)
In The Viennese Falcon.
Benvenuto Cellini
Wore a beanie;
Although History says
He wore a fez.
Rutherford B. Hayes
Wandered about in a daze.
To his own consternation,
He faced imminent inauguration.
