Posting a few abstracts for a few days.

I titled this one after a riddle my grandfather used to cite. As I type, it sounds kind of silly, but here goes:

As I was coming around the Whirly Wickem Wackem,
I saw Bob Bickem Backem in the Whirly Wickem Wackem,
So I called Tom Tickem Tackem to get Bob Bickem Backem out of the Whirly Wickem Wackem.

My good-hearted and fun-loving grandfather was a farmer outside of Ranger, Texas, and the meaning of it is:

As I was riding my horse around the corn field,
I saw the cow in the corn field,
So I called the dog to get the cow out of the corn field.

Fun, huh? ;-) Funny the things one remembers from childhood - he had several out of the ordinary sayings and was always entertaining me with magic tricks and games.

I am happy for those memories because my time with him was short, as he had a stroke when I was twelve.
