Back in (the) Black

Dear ROTH IRA,
Thank you for turning profits
because I am poor.


I've been waiting to recoup my losses from this winter for a while, and after a few weeks of being right on the bubble finally crossed into the black with a profit of $0.80. At this rate I'll be able to retire at the ripe old age of 364.

Unemployment

Writing is quite hard
with unemployment looming.
Give me a job, please.

It's not a quarter... but it will do!

When truly in need,
quarters are over-rated;
tuppence will suffice.

Nothing says awesome like a bunch of high school teachers using the UK equivalent of a penny (though likely more worthless) to re-invent speed quarters. I vote we call it "Feed the Birds" in honor of the Bird Lady from Mary Poppins. Also, let it be known that certain tuppence coins bounce more readily than others, and that I either get it in the glass on the first shot [that's what she said] or wind up drinking.

What Not to Do...

If you're interested:
Mind-numbing boredom awaits;
Jane Austen Tour.

Seriously... I don't even like Jane Austen to begin with, but the Jane Austen Walking Tour was possibly the worst thing ever. Even the Janeites I was with thought it was misery. Perhaps worse than punting?

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince


Once again she has
brought wizards to life. Perhaps
the best? Thanks J.K.

Dessert (has two s's for "sweet stuff")

Cream + Meringue + Berries,
and it looks like an igloo.
Get in my belly.
