Crispy, salty kiss,Sizzle sings a smoky song
Bliss in every bite

Pathos on the Classroom Floor
Oh, man.
A friend who teaches middle school found this note on her classroom floor. Not much could be more evocative and pang-inducing than this.
A cry from the
heart
Read pathos between
the lines.
Hi. Do you like me?
Shades of Dan Fogelberg's “Another Ald Lang Syne:”
Just for a moment, I was back at school.
And felt that old, familiar pain.
