Stories Starting with I

An elderly man who lives in a grand old house in the American countryside. At the center of this house is his massive, ancient chimney.

One night in the 60s I sat down and did something I had never done before - I sat down and wrote some poetry! So for better or worse - here it is.

'I love New York' has different meaning to people. Some have little choice, others like the $27 bagel and coffee, or maybe it's the genuine, 'Coach' purse or name brand scarf at $9.99. Buying-in can do it too. Owning a place changes how one views a home there. Football(not talking Qatar Soccer here) can do it too, those multi-million dollar contracts change you too.

A short, very short, romantic connection.

OK, so I'm a car nut. Had both the Porsche and the MB. Hate the new(2023) Electrics. IMHO, get an AMG model, couple of bucks more but worth it. Wanted to weep every time I saw the 1955 gull wing sitting in the rain and snow in-front of a neighbor's house. My ex Luftwaffe buddy did not want to discuss that travesty.(True)

Bad things happen. It may cause one to be down a might, maybe not forever.

Sometimes life gives you lemons(limes work too, maybe oranges even) my point is either one plays the hand you are dealt or fold. If lemons, make lemonade.

Imagine, if you will, that you are sitting in a bar having quiet drink with an old (newly divorced) friend, and he relates his tale of woe to you. This one should be read with a certain amount of scepticism when it comes to exactly what the narrator is telling the reader. But generally, I would suggest that that same scepticism suggested when reading this tale, would be advised when reading most of my —ahem— literary masterpieces. Alright, demented ravings! Happy Now?
