I Dreamt

Posted on January 2, 2013 by russtowne

I just read a short poem that brought a smile to my face and led to a very pleasant stroll down Memory Lane. May it do the same for you:

I dreamt that my hair was kempt. Then I dreamt that my true love unkempt it. -Ogden Nash, poet (1902-1971)

      True! What a knack for succinct humorous truth.
