The deuce runs beside the river from our town to Summerstown
joyous in its smooth ups and downs and swiping curves
except in winter when the river twists angry black with storms
then the deuce grumbles salt slushed caution and risky corners
drivers dream of sweet tiger lilies or cattails blowing in ditches
snowbound river ice denies, flaccid as a sheet on a hospital bed.

Saving Your Favourites
If you click on the title of a post, you will be taken to the archive copy of the text, where there are many options:
"Print this post" -- creates a printable screen
"Add to Favourites" -- See below
"Related Posts" -- other posts that are in some way similar
"(Visited N times)" -- Started Jan 5, 2010If you click "Add to Favourites", the software sets a cookie on your device. This cookie is quite harmless; however, it saves a list of your favourite posts on this site. Up to 99 of your favourites will appear on your computer only, in the list to the right, on the device that has the cookie. Note that favourites saved on one device will not be favourites on others, and that clearing your cookies will clear that particular device's list.
I am not sure about this, but the favourites list should work, even if you are not a subscriber. I know that it does work for subscribers.

Don’t worry pappy! we’ll get another spring. And speaking of spring, are you ready to spring up and get to work on that bathroom?
