These Foolish Things


midweek motif PU
3WW

notes written on shopping dockets
the world's biggest collection of odd socks
moonwalk dancing in the supermarket
glancing furtively at the pouting check out chicks
caressing the cat in french

these foolish things remind me of you

  3. Hmm. Not so foolish when they are so useful, are they? Or at least I get the sense of a fondness here--not revulsion.

  10. You haven't lived if you haven't had fun in the supermarket. What a different version of "Foolish things" compared with the Ella Fitzgerald's version (before your time I expect!)
