Mrs. Thompson

I am at work right now, listening to Pinback.
I love my job, kind of. But really what I love is coffee.
And being paid to write about how much i love coffee and Pinback is pretty nice. I'm having a fabulous day so far.
Oh! I found some of the worst poetry ever in one of the copiers:

I'm fond of reading
Driving a motor-car isn't easy
He doesn't like walking so far
Travelling is my hobby
Teaching is hard work too
They went to bed wothout eating
smoking not allowed
he kept on working

"Bitte"
[No equivalent in English, just smile]
Tell me, please! Give me, please!
It doesn't matter at all (Bitte, bitte; es macht nichts)
it was a pleasure
I can hardly tell you how i felt
about.


... and then i realized that it was an English lesson from Germany.
Oh, my favorite old lady just came in.
