“I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I’m awake, you know?” Ernest Hemingway
Word of the week–cacophony–noun-a harsh, discordant mixture of sounds.
Synonyms-din, racket, noise, clamor, discord, uproar
Shredded facades create a cacophony
rise and fall at games of monopoly
methinks this causes animosity
clearly impedes feelings of hospitality
a crooked stance warrants an apology
from a misshapen drunken apostrophe
words in alphabet soup become gossipy
creating a potage of curiosity
wannabes concerned about the economy
hmm, what about the take on hypocrisy
let’s narrow it down to mediocrity
A far-fetched attitude from grandiosity
perhaps, the study of societal garbology
will clue us in on how our oddities
will make mortals act more responsibility

One of the hotel’s most notable events was the Beatles stayed there and held a press conference in the “Madison” room in 1964. The press conference was crashed by three college students that were gung-ho to meet the Beatles in person. They succeeded in their escapade and made history doing it.

Another fun Tuesday visit to the cafe Eugenia. If only they offered societal garbology as a course of study. Love the Hemingway quote.

Thank you, Davy. Yes, imagine what mankind could learn from a course in garbology. What’s taking place now to save our planet is not enough.

Cacophony and garbology. Both seem to bring about confusion in my world. Maybe that’s why I like the quiet so much.
