The Island and me

31 Jul 2005 - Under General By Mandrake

This post might have spoilers about the movie “The Island”. Don’t read if you have any intention to watch it.

Jessie by Joshua Kadison
From a phone booth in Vegas, Jessie calls at 5 a.m.
to tell me how she’s tired of all of them.
She says, “Baby, I been thinking ’bout a trailer by the sea.

Here lies Henry the Frog, who unknowingly leap into a net and ended up in a pot of porridge, dead and well done.

Henry looks on besides the piles of skeletons of Carl and Johnson.
Who likes frog porridge?
