We had a Bad Poetry Day contest at work.  Elliott won.  Go figure, working with Elliott is like working with Lassie, he can do no wrong and everyone loves him!
His submission was pretty good, you will have to watch his blog to see if he posts it.  I think he will be posting all of them on our work blog as well, www.responsivebydesign.com.

Here’s mine, perfect for this blog, it is truly a random rambling:
I wondered why, I wandered far
Then I stumbled on my car
I thought for a bit
Then opened it
And sat and slouched and sighed

I turned the key
Hopefully
It coughed and gasped then started
Is the only thing that rhymes farted?
Well that stinks

Off I went into the night
Like a solar landscape light
Strong at first
Yet undoubtfully cursed
To fade away

I was most proud of my double entendre, although ‘I wondered why I wandered far, then I stumbled on my car’ came to me one day in the middle of doing something completely unrelated, and it is one of those things that will stick with me perhaps forever.  Scary huh.

A memory from the triathlon I forgot to share.  While pedaling along on the open road I had two funny things happen.  First I was riding along keeping a pretty good pace as I was crafting my triathlon blog article in head, thinking about recapturing the experience, just then a lady in a pink jacket screamed by me.  I was kicked into another gear, I tried to catch her, draft something, she was gone.

I kept her in my sights although never was able to catch her.  I was jealous of that pink jacket. I had a long sleeve and thought about putting it on.  I wasn’t sure if I would I get too hot, would I be too cold, I made a clutch decision in T1 to leave it behind.  I was cold, not freezing, just cold.  When suddenly a burst of warmth hit me, I sat up and enjoyed it, then realized the warmth was from the exhaust of a large truck passing by, funny the things that bring us comfort.
