Episode 68

Reflections from the life and times of Mr. Smith. I got a girlfriend. Surprised? She was too. I think of her when I see her. I think of her when I’m taking pictures of her. I think of her when I’m in a blimp up above looking down upon her. I love you Charlene. We went on a date the other night. To the roller derby. I don’t think she knew we were on a date. How come my girlfriends never like to acknowledge me? Such a poor soul am I. Though I’m really rich. Did I ever tell you I made the America’s best lists. No not America’s most wanted. America’s most wealthy! I own Bill Gates. I own Bill Gate’s dog. I own Bill Gate’s company. I own Bill Gate’s stocks. And his stockings. And his wife’s knitting needles. Then I paused and reflected on life and the merits of knitting one’s socks. I came to the conclusion it could be quite handy, if you knew how to knit. Perhaps I should take a class someday. Charlene could take it with me. Personally I love the smell of freshly knit socks. The sound of the needles clinking together. I used to watch dear old mum do that. Back in the good old days before she passed away...God rest her soul. Alas, God did not save the queen of Smithville. I think I need a snack. Perhaps some carrots dipped in mayonnaise.
Thus ends this week’s reflection. And then my mirror image disappeared.
