A poem. jumps

This is a poem by Kevin Gilam, one of the three poets who replaced John Kinsella;

love

goes fishing.
off a bridge.
catches one.
big.
into the bucket.
threshing.
and flicking.
eyes unblinking.
beckoning.
come with me.
back.
to the river.
and love.
forgets why it came.
and jumps

(punctuation as the poet would have it)

Wheels go round.

Hey, you, you are NOT crap.

This is just jo, and this is just a meme.

1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down what it says:

"Money Management if you have any trouble."

"The Reptile Room" from "A Series of Unfortunate Events" by Lemony Snicket.

My sister Megan gave me a set of four (with bonus DVD!) for my birthday.
Good call, sweetie!
Trouble especially likes them.
She also likes that it was the line "money management if you have any trouble" that came up.
Just coz... you know... her name is Trouble.
And she like double entry book keeping.
But I segue. A word which here means 'let the conversation veer off'.
