Cheap Seats Ticket to Ride
Cheap Seats Ticket to Ride
It does, it truly does resemble
a
“Ticket Book.” About 3-1/2 x
8-1/2
inches, end stapled with gitchy
board covers; we’re talking
about,
Cheap Seats Ticket to Ride.
(I did
promise “more, soon”…did
I not?)
This conveniently
sized print
slips neatly into a standard #10 envelope and is mailed using one-ounce postage. Suspiciously (auspiciously) sized much like another, ultra-nifty publication:
bear creek haiku.

Here are just a

Max hizzelf the ticky-dot-cat, highly recommends you
have a look-see. (An SASE, an extra lst class postage stamp within and
three bucks will get you guidelines and this first printing.) Worth checking
out; a unique publication in which to be seen!

hi max. took the advice of one phil (pink) wick and dished out a few scribblin's for the seat sheets publication. damned if the bastards didn't up and accept several. that should set the post-literate world back fifty years or so. ain't none of us gettin' outa here alive now. mr. wick knows me well enough to understand i don't care for political correctness, or kissing up to editors, so with that, just wanted to say it was a real nice maiden issue of the cheapest of seats. well, except for that french pastry dude. my guess is he's some rogue wingnut type excommunicated from the nsa. but, hey, everybody needs a hobby. kudos to the authors and editors of sheep cheats for some nice work.
ReplyDeleteHey Gom', indeed, we have been warned about "that French pastry dude". We would agree, stratosphere city.
ReplyDeleteHow kind of you to send us your vibes (we think they are positive?) Know this, your work is more than welcome, glad to have you ride with us--though we don't know who this "pink" is. Couldn't be Wick, he's just a disenchanted ol' mountain climbing lemon-puss. But can he ever write up a storm. He's trying to turn back that post literate plague.
Are assuming "bastards" refers to: second-rate wine, as we are all paper-bag sippers from the first half of the last Century. And for that astute observation we thank you.
Keep writin' and keeping the faith...
Oh by-the-way: we can be bribed. Dinner at Taco Bell usually does it...
Thanks again, write well. From the Ford Econoline, Max tdc
solid post, appreciate your comments/interaction with Cheap Seats and the van on blocks and! with above-mentioned poets/poetry - best
ReplyDeleteDaryl, best from all in the van.
ReplyDeleteWinter's a comin' and we've gotta stack of wood for the old Vermont Pullman.
Thank you, Max et al
