Saturday Centus: Esmeralda gets a shot of you-know-what from Xentor!

.

"What's wrong, Esmeralda," Xentor asked, "you've been dumping around now most of the day."

"Oh, Uncle!  I am glad you noticed.  I just can't seem to get started with my term paper." 

"Well, perhaps I can help," offered Xentor in his big brother sort of way, "I'm experienced.  What is your theme?"

 "Part of my trouble, I'm not even collected enough for a theme.  I don't have a theme yet" she said with a wimpy little voice, "thanks but forget it."

"It's an amusing little whine you've got there.  Good start for a theme?" 

"'Little muse of mine; an amusing whine'."

"Uncle!  You're so brilliant!"

Waiting

new generation

waiting, the tide will come in

they sweep it back out

old generation

waiting also, just to see

they know can't be done
