Labor Day Weekend

This one goes out to all the White Trash... welcome to Grover Beach!

The holiday's here not a moment too soon
I look out my window and what do I see?
Two thousand Hummers head straight for the dune
To leak motor oil right into the sea

Monster truck madness invades Grover Beach
They rinse their dune-buggies at evening high tide
With tow-trucks and 6 packs all within reach
Last week a toddler got run down and died

(In memory of the 4-year old child who was run over and killed by an off-road vehicle on the Oceano Dunes last weekend.)


Now here's something in a more cheerful, literary spirit — also for Labor Day:

Limerick #332 – H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937)
Where the land of Cthulu existed
The creatures were horribly twisted
            And as mythos grew bigger
            Around this cult figure
The labor of Lovecraft persisted
