Entering the New Yorker Contest



I don't see shapes in clouds, but you do.

Come back, and tell me what you see.


I don't remember dreams, but you do.

Come back, and share your vivid tales without conclusion. 


I don't pronouce insouciance correctly, but you do.

Come back, because you have more French, mais oui.


I don't read my lines with feeling, but you do.

Come back, because you are among the few.


I don't know yoga nidra, but you do.

Come back, and swing me into peaceful trance.


I'm not quick with cartoon contest captions, but you are.

When you come back, we'll check the final three.


Most would rather judge than love, not you.

Come back, because I think we have a chance.
