200

‘To love what you do and feel that it matters – how could anything else be more fun?” – Katharine Graham.

‘Develop [an] interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music – the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. FORGET YOURSELF.’ – Henry Miller.

At 200 posts, I’ve captured the Katharine-Graham bonheur, and I’m working out the Henry-Miller joie de vivre. Thank you, reader/blogger, for coming along on this amazing journey.

You, Ugly Thing, Driving

Out of his car window, a male thing
Held out a cup of hot something
Watching the steam rise while driving
At dangerous rush hour this morning

The Electricity Company in 10,000 B.C.

Wednesday night, a prehistoric donkey
Turned off the power key
And went to chase Miss Toad
Leaving darkness on Spintex Road

Courting Nduom

They're courting Kwesi Nduom
To avoid the electoral tomb
I wonder what they'll give up
He might want a golden cup

Random Questions

Ghana's Elections 08 - The Final Assault

Small friendly groups
Discuss how party troops
Can quickly strike a blow
Be it high or low

Ghana's Elections 08 - All Over Again

All is said, and all is done
It's been tense, and it's been fun
We have to go through it all again
We must have a Prez by Jan 7.
