Palinodes

Halloweekend is finally here! I've been hosting a Halloween Film Festival rented from the Milwaukee Public Library and Marquette's library.  So far I've shown Young Frankenstien, Sleepy Hollow and The Wicker Man (1973). Movies and Spiked Apple Cider will continue throughout the weekend!


Poetry has been enthralling me lately in my class called "Young Americans".  I love this famous snippet from humorist and poet Ogden Nash,
       "Candy
        Is dandy
        But liquor
         Is quicker."   

Beware, Nash did publish a palinode on the subject later on,

"Nothing makes me sicker
than liquor
and candy
is too expandy"
