- Go to IRREVERENT NOTE ON WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS' ICEBOX ...
on the serious side these were both wonderful poetry, and it is in the reading where the wonder comes.

Re: nicely brought together into one.....well done, hope there is no tummy ache
Nah, melons go down easy. This summer I DID learn this about the second poem: Williams of course was a doctor and he'd been to see a very sick little girl. The wheelbarrow was visible through her window, and he was hoping she'd see it in the morning! - Bob

Re: Now, that was fun.
Those 2 poems always fascinated me for the wrong reason: what's so great about them,I wondered. Actually, I still wonder. When I raid the fridge, I don't leave notes. I have a whirligig airplane on my lawn, and not much depends on it. - Bob
