Grex Enigma Item 187: Marston Takes a Drive in the Country
Entered by remmers on Sun May 15 04:57:57 UTC 1994:

        there i was
        tooling along
        on country lanes
        past farmers' fields
        when sudden espied
        mr ali baba
        of forty thief fame,
        (long since retired)
        puttering about
        in his sesame garden.

        i stopped the car
        and disembarked
        and said to him
        "oh mr baba,
        i like your style,
        your joie de vivre,
        your pluck, your verve,
        i always wanted
        to be like you,
        vanquish thieves,
        amass treasures,
        win fair damsels,
        etc. etc."

        he looked at me
        and scratched his beard
        and rolled his eyes
        and turned three somersaults
        and ran around
        behind the chicken coop.

        "oh well" said i,
        and got in the car,
        and drove off thinking
        that i must have been
        confusing him
        with some other baba.

Spoke like nine different languages....
Usually all at the same time.
