A FABLE from Marsha Hamilton for JMB's 70th

CLICK HERE to read a fable written by Marsha Hamilton for the70project - Marsha is the the fairy godmother (though she's only one year older than me!) who sewed my wedding gown. On my wedding day, she gave me the same advice her mother gave to her on her own wedding day: She delivered this advice with perfect timing - "On this eve of your wedding, when you & your husband are in bed and you look at him (in the buff)... Don't Laugh." - and a straight face. Thanks Marsha! Good advice for any newly wed. - CMB

Jack Foley's 3 Chairs for JMB (via FB comment)

Vincent's chair
Three-legged chair
Chair with castor wheels
(wheelchair for an extra)

Not one of these is a department chair. 
(Or a department store.) All chairs are cheered. 
All cheers are tremendous.
Not one of them makes us chary. 
Cheers for chairs and many years of funpuns for John. 
--El Charro

,what brrreaks inside my hair uh
,70 nickels 70 long turds d
ropping in the crowded lake
,de ojos de ,pulmones thick
with lint ... )the 70 shivers
,the 70 wigs wall the 70
waves of linguini cooked
last week and( a neck
that never stops itching
,the 70 dimes you crawled do
wn to the sótano con sus
grillos )70( y libros

70 eyes gag the

your )boleto’s thin
smile spattered at the
edge ‘ ,O‘ ‘ , ‘ ‘ ,,, ‘

Soixant-dix les tombeaux de la boue.
