Remnants

Remnants

In this field in which I reign
O'er rows of gilded grain
Stoic upon a crucified throne
Husk enshrined dry as bone
Β 
Once aligned plotted row
Thistles on it amply grow
God endowed bumpkin shave
Gone to seed a humble grave
Β 
Toil expiry calloused hand
Sown on relentless land
Omitted here remnants when
Life unyielding back then
Β 
Generations now forgot
All ones pride surely sought
Inane house, senescent shell
Only bygone shadows dwell

I wonder if we were the first to ever do that? Pioneers in our field of shrinking comments. That could be important some day!Β

That's true...in an incorrect sort of way. lol.Β 
I wonder if anyone else was watching that...saw a little piece of Cosmo history.Β 
If a dialogue box gets squished down to nothing in Cosmo, is it still skinny? New, philosophical question which could soon overtake that tree in the forest one.Β

Uh oh, getting small again! (I wonder if that's how Steve Martin got the idea for his Let's Get Small comedy bit, from shrinking Cosmo boxes. You think?).Β

OK, Red, you probably suffocated, so have a vondebah night.Β 
Thanks for being silly with me, I enjoyed that immensely. And I'm glad you're a trekkie, too.Β 
Live long and prosper.Β

PS. I'm not sure why I call you Red, but for some reason I like it as a nickname for you. Do you have any items in your possession which might have an amber hue?Β

Thanks Red! You rule. You and Cheerie seem to be my only humor fans, but that's OK, because you and Cheerie are phenomenally smart people, with tremendous taste in men, so I'm really excited to keep writing goofily on behalf of you two.Β 
You're the best!Β
