There Was An Old Man From Nantucket
A car went along the edge of a cliff at midnite of Wednesday night.
The headlights were off, and the driver was headless. I asked him,
as I sat next to him, "How did you loose your head?"
He sang me a song and took me home. I asked him his name and he sang
me again.
I waved as he was leaving. Pulling out of the driveway and pulling away
more haphazardly then I'd noticed.
I turned around to go into the house, but nothing was there.
-----------
Ok--I don't know how or whyy, but this story was divinly inspired by
fluffy's 159, can;'t remeber tittle of it.
Don't ask me why.

Funky, reminds me of the headless horseman story:) I don't think I had a title
for my story. I never really thought about a title. Interesting.:)

i asked a guy i was sitting next to tell me atitle for this story.
Ive been told it would be much better if the guy had a song he was
singing...well I know what song he was singing--Comfortably Numb
Pink Floyd, The Wall
weird story. I wrote a better one about ahippy but it's pretty
long now and getting longer and nobody seems to like hippies anyway.
except me. i wrote this story in a2 and i talked all about Pete's
I had a lot to say about pete's and Hunt Park it was fun. too bad
i can't post it.

I think I tried to respond to this once, but it disapeared, or maybe I was just
halucinating, or somthing oh well. The Short One! And the long one, but thats
ok, the short one will be fine! .
