- I went out into the woods today, and it made me feel, you know, sort of religious.
- We're not getting any younger.
- It sure is cold and lonely
(a) without you, honey, or
(b) with you, honey. - Sadness seems but the other side of the coin of happiness, and vice versa, and in any case the coin is too soon spent, and on what we know not what.

katy's four subjects of poetry
1. i went into my back yard today, and it made me feel sort of spiritual
2. the dishes are still in the sink, waiting to be washed
3. it sure is cold and lonely
(a) for a robot
(b) folding laundry at 11pm
4. he doesn't kiss me if i eat particular types of fruit so sometimes the fruit goes to waste because i'd rather have him kiss me than eat an apple.
