    She is only 27. Thats one year older than me.

    Once in a small wood
    she kissed me
    pitying a piteous boy
    a broken arm
    with a writeable cast.

    and she

  5. Nine

    by , 02-03-2009 at 08:09 AM (Reflections on the puddle of life)
    It's a number, and also doubles for 'no' in German (ok, yes it would be spelled nein!) which is kind of how I feel today.

    My son is nine.

    Nine, 9, neuf, niente, neuve and so on.
