Poem of the day from Calvin and Hobbes

Sep. 1st, 2015 at 4:26 PM

"At night my mind does not much care
If what it thinks is here or there.
It tells me stories it invents
And makes up things that don't make sense.
I don't know why it does this stuff.
The real world seems quite weird enough."

Isn't it? Don't know the illustrator or the edition; I got it from the Writer's Circle FB page. I can ask there if you want?

Oh, I don't think I'll be tracking it down for a hard copy, I'm not a particular C&H fanatic. Although I'd probably go for it if I stumbled across a reasonably-priced copy. It is dazzling, though, the colours and the imagery.

I initially misread the last line as 'The real world seems quite weird though.' The misrhyme rendered it hilarious somehow: I think I'll keep it that way in my head.

And funny re: misread last line
