I’ll take a baby on the rocks, shaken not stirred

So I get email. I’ll spare you because it was simply lyrics to a god-botherer song. I replied “Poetry sucks. Get a guitar.” That riled him up, so he expressed anger and then sent me another set of lyrics. This was my second reply: By the rivers of Babylon  You really did babble on Crazy …

Zoe Madalyn Griffith - 9 months old - with teeth!
