Be there in the morning.

What’s for breakfast?

No toast got no show and the eggs are late a’hatchin’.

We, are in the deep country. Some people are set on talking about the Deep State, we think Deep Country is much more finger-lickin’ fun. 

Got pickup, got go, there is music at the show. 

This makes no sense they say. Sometimes a tickle to the underside of the innovation bone, the caressing of the creative surface is all that’s needed. No need to explain.

Displaying vigorous interest and steely attention the dames and dukes decided to deal the cards.

The cats played, the dogs chewed and the people gazed absent mindedly.

Today the results of all this could be seen so clearly that dark sunglasses could not obscure, the kindness of strangers welded onto the scheming of planners. 

So we created the phrase “neither a planner nor a sailor be”.
