We are nothing without our notebooks. For who would record that
which happens to us, if not we ourselves?

Is what we record of ourselves, what we really need to see? Or just another
subjective account of the local news.

At one point I was myself and my notebook was a book.
After a while my notenook became a part of me. If I went to a meeting
without it, I felt its reproach.
Now I am a part of the notebook.

I am only half the man I could be because I only write stuff down
every other day.

You could write larger, wouldn't that work. The larger the
better I always say.

The notebook without which he is nothing.
Being as he still exists, we must presume the notebook does as well.
Or at least that it did, back in 1995.
Whereas by now it's entirely possible that the notebook, and thus karlberg
himself, is nothing but a termite-infested pile of wood rot in some forgotten
basement.
But we won't hold it against you, eric. It's not your fault.

Unless, of course, it is your fault. And in that case, we might or misght
not blame you, depending, obviously, on the weather in Pintleton Alpha.

The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.
The rain in Maine falls plainly on the train.

Or isn't, or wasn't.
And then there's the times when it falls on the pheasant.
Now isn't that pleasant, a rain-pelted pheasant?
Well, not for the pheasant, and he doth resent it.

"You might be a Wasn't!
A Wasn't has no fun at all, no he doesn't!
A Wasn't just isn't, he just isn't present,
But you, you are you, and now isn't that pleasant?"

Because, because, because....
Because no good word seems to rhyme with because!
