DEPARTING FROM THE SIMILE ON THE METAPHOR mainland, the fine line ferry crosses the dire Straits to the Isle of Cliches'three times a week. In fair weather, passengers can often catch a glimpse of both Salient Point and Talking Point,the rugged Brink of Disaster and the vast expanse of Glacial Indifference. When it reaches its destination, the Fine Line docks at anyport, which provides a sheltered anchorage and harbors no grudges. The Road to Sucess, the bustling commercial hub of Cliches; is not well marked and often has bumpy twists and turns. There are works of art by nearby artists on display at the Peanut Gallery and Succession craftsmen also abound. Especially thought provoking is a collection of finely spun tapestries, the so called Web of Deceit; a delicately executed watercolor mural, Tissue of Lies, which depicts historical happenings associated with Success; and several clever examples of locally manufactured windows of opportunity. From Success a circuit tour may be made by following the new but often trash-littered Information Highway. Worth a stop at 25.2 miles is the charming village of Better, on the commons of which is the reputedly Therapeutic Bode's Well. A short but not recomended side trip leads down a slippery slope from Better to Bad to Worse, a fetid hamlet on the slough of Despond. (to be continued) ....................CrazyJack

Hey Jack, I've been known to smoke a little herb and do some scrooms now and then but from one pinstriper to another why is it necessary for some here to either write stories, recite poems or add quotes from famous dead persons?
