elpoet, I like the thing you wrote. It's nice. I learned a few things. 1) Mé·ri·da (mer'i-d?, me're-thä) A city of southeast Mexico on the Yucatán Peninsula. It was founded in 1542 on the site of a ruined Mayan city. Population, 400,142. 2) Bukowski, Charles (pronounced bookofskee) (1920–94) Poet, short-story writer, and novelist, born in Andernach, W Germany. He moved with his parents to the USA in 1922. An underground writer, his works include four novels, several collections of short stories, and many volumes of verse. A cult figure who did not achieve popular success, he had a sardonic sense of humour which is reflected in some of his titles, such as Play the Piano Drunk Like a Percussion Instrument until the Fingers Begin to Bleed a Bit (1979). Works: Poetry 1974 Drowning in Flame: Selected Poems 1955–1973 1977 Love is a Dog from Hell: Poems 1974–1977 1979 Play the Piano Drunk Like a Percussion Instrument until the Fingers Begin to Bleed a Bit 1984 War All the Time: Poems 1981–1984 1988 Roominghouse Madrigals: Early Selected Poems 1946–1966 1990 Septuagenarian Stew: Stories and Poems Novels 1971 Post Office 1975 Factotum 1978 Women 1982 Ham on Rye 3) in·ev·i·ta·ble (in-ev'i-t?-b?l) adj. Impossible to avoid or prevent. See Synonyms at certain. Invariably occurring or appearing; predictable: the inevitable changes of the seasons. Used in a sentence: It was inevitable that Clappy would make a poor excuse of a post, simply to GRUB number 3000. Hee Haw! -Grubmeister <Clappy takes post #3000 and puts it into his jar...> P.S. Have you read any of Bukowski's short stories? If so, which ones? I like short stories. They fit in well with my short attention span...
