Tomatnoja

Matplåtning på tasteline.com resulterade i ett stycke
tomatimpressionism. Den ursprungliga bilden behandlades

Let's Call The Whole Thing Off

Lyrics by Ira Gershwin; Music by George Gershwin

Things have come to a pretty pass
Our romance is growing flat,
For you like this and the other
While I go for this and that,

Goodness knows what the end will be
Oh I don't know where I'm at
It looks as if we two will never be one
Something must be done:

You say either and I say either,
You say neither and I say neither
Either, either Neither, neither
Let's call the whole thing off.

You like potato and I like potahto
You like tomato and I like tomahto
Potato, potahto, Tomato, tomahto.
Let's call the whole thing off

But oh, if we call the whole thing off, then we must part
And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart

So if you like pyjamas and I like pyjahmas,
I'll wear pyjamas and give up pyajahmas
For we know we need each other so we
Better call the whole thing off
Let's call the whole thing off.

You say laughter and I say larfter
You say after and I say arfter
Laughter, larfter after arfter
Let's call the whole thing off,

You like vanilla and I like vanella
You saspiralla, and I saspirella
Vanilla vanella chocolate strawberry
Let's call the whole thing off

But oh if we call the whole thing of then we must part
And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart

So if you go for oysters and I go for ersters
I'll order oysters and cancel the ersters
For we know we need each other so we
Better call the calling off off,
Let's call the whole thing off.

I say father, and you say pater,
I saw mother and you say mater
Pater, mater Uncle, auntie
Let's call the whole thing off.

I like bananas and you like banahnahs
I say Havana and I get Havahnah
Bananas, banahnahs Havana, Havahnah
Go your way, I'll go mine

So if I go for scallops and you go for lobsters,
So all right no contest we'll order lobster
For we know we need each other so we
Better call the calling off off,
Let's call the whole thing off.

En trött man framför teven

Sömn och statistik

Vem som helst kan somna framför teven.
Själv somnar jag redan klockan tjugoett.
För några år sedan
brukade jag somna klockan tjugotvå.
Ännu längre tillbaka i tiden
somnade jag kanske vid tjugotre.

Statistiskt sett
borde jag somna allt tidigare
för att till slut aldrig vakna mer.

Å andra sidan
kunde jag förr sova till tio på morgonen
för att så småningom
börja vakna vid åtta tiden.
Numera
går jag upp vid halv sex.

Man kan titta på teve
dygnet runt.

Vad säger statistiken om det?

Mellan is och eld

Fire an ice

SOME say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,	5
I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

By Robert Frost
(From Harper’s Magazine, December 1920)
