DID YOU JUST HARRY AND THE HENDERSONS US?

Damnit, I thought I was finished Toast-crying for the day...

I don't feelings well so I will just leave this for you all. It is "Love Poem" by John Frederick Nims and it glimmers with Toastiness.

My clumsiest dear, whose hands shipwreck vases,
At whose quick touch all glasses chip and ring,
Whose palms are bulls in china, burs in linen,
And have no cunning with any soft thing

Except all ill-at-ease fidgeting people:
The refugee uncertain at the door
You make at home; deftly you steady
The drunk clambering on his undulant floor.

Unpredictable dear, the taxi drivers' terror,
Shrinking from far headlights pale as a dime
Yet leaping before apopleptic streetcars—
Misfit in any space. And never on time.

A wrench in clocks and the solar system. Only
With words and people and love you move at ease;
In traffic of wit expertly maneuver
And keep us, all devotion, at your knees.

Forgetting your coffee spreading on our flannel,
Your lipstick grinning on our coat,
So gaily in love's unbreakable heaven
Our souls on glory of spilt bourbon float.

Be with me, darling, early and late. Smash glasses—
I will study wry music for your sake.
For should your hands drop white and empty
All the toys of the world would break.

I've been on the fence for this entire election cycle for and this is actually what just made me commit. I will absolutely vote for the woman who took the time and cared enough to say this in my specific niche. This is amazing.

Oh, and I sing this one to all the cats, to the tune of "Someone's in the Kitchen With Dinah:"

Nobody likes yucky kit-ties!
Nobody likes their disgusting cat breath!
Nobody likes yucky kiiiiiiiiit-tiiiiiiiies!
Because they all smell like death!

I change the lyrics to that one a lot, but it is always upon the theme of "no one likes you, you smell," and I sing it while snuggling them intensely. I like to send a mixed message.

I have a million, but the one I sing to my princess baby doll kitty cat (as opposed to the other... five) is

Oreoses, Noses Toeses
I don't love your faaaaaace!
If you were any good at catting
You would have more graaaaace!
Oreo! Oreo! Oreo, you are an oaf,
But I admit you're kind of cute when you sleep like a loaf!

I also sing "Yucky Kitty Cats" to the tune of "Father Abraham," etc.

I feel all his subsequent books (yes, even Fault) are just pale imitations of Looking for Alaska, which I also found at the exact right teenaged moment.
