Poetry vs. Prose

Bogey says to Bergman: "We'll always have Paris."

In my life, it would be, "We'll always have Milwaukee Summer Fest."

I don't know ... maybe it's me ... but it just doesn't have the same poetic ring. The sentiment is similar however.

How about "We'll always have Milwaukee Bastille Days"? Closer, anyway.

I love Milwaukee - it just doesn't sound as romantic as Paris ... really not much else to say about it!!

"I lost my heart in Waukesha..."

hahaha

Hey, you have to admit it beats "we'll always have that time we did it in the back of your car and you puked on my mother's porch swing afterwards."

Ahhh.

Memories are sweet.

What DOESN'T get lost in Waukesha? It's a maze of pointess one way streets at weird angles.

SO glad I don't work there any more.

You worked in Waukesha? I only went there once - to the River Fest. Where I got to see "America" play - they were like somnambulists, singing "I've been through the desert on a horse with no name" - as though they were performing in some zombie parade. It was hysterical.

Yes, I worked at a silly little mapping company in downtown Waukesha, near River Fest, for eight years. I always said it was a town founded by carnies. Folks out there are weird.
