Phil, after reading your haiku and looking at this photo over and over, reading the haiku over and over, I am grinning from ear to ear. How I love your sense of humor amidst the thrum of creativity.
I also love the design of your blog. Simple yet so darned powerful.
:-D Great!

i wait wait wait for your name to show up, hungry for your next entrée!
Wow... fabulous!
I'm going to be smiling all day and thinking about what rhymes with orange! :D :D :D I love old photos. Marvelous.

Or rutabaga. . .
this is simply wonderful, all of it, the photograph, the evocative storyline, the humor. I love it.

Hi Phil! Very original! This poor "vegetable gentleman" is probably singing out his wares in falsetto! Hmmm... And what to rhyme with orange? Use the vowels, I guess? Close, but no cigar. I couldn't help but think how much better we ate back then than now. Great post.
Thanks!
