After a recent discussion on the show about garage-sailing, a listener from Henderson, Kentucky, sent us an apt haiku: Early birds gather near a green sea/ Garage doors billow on the morning wind/ Yard-saling. This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Yard-Sailing Haiku”
Remember when we were talking about garage sales and what the verb would be for going from garage sale to garage sale?
Yeah, yeah.
Are you garage sailing or are you something else?
Yard sailing.
Yard sailing, yeah.
That prompted Steve McCarty to send us a haiku that he wrote actually several years ago.
Steve’s from Henderson, Kentucky.
And he sent us this haiku.
Early birds gather near a green sea.
Garage doors billow on the morning wind.
Yard sailing.
Nice.
That’s beautiful.
A nice visual, right?
While we’re talking about that call, I want to thank Sarah Burge for sending me a slotted spoon.
Sarah heard me go on and on about how when I went to thrift stores and garage sales, what I was looking for was regular, like, tablespoons, high spoons, but only slotted.
Right.
And she sent me one.
She did.
She found it for a dollar and sent me one.
So thank you very much, Sarah.
I really appreciate it.
What happened to my Hello Kitty vaporizer?
That’s what I’m looking for.
