Jonathan K. and the Elusive Dream Girl Free

I've been asked, "who is the girl in your avatar?" It's a rendering of someone I encountered long ago who caught my eye, with whom I unsuccessfully tried to establish contact. It's a long, long story, and an experience that has haunted me for years. She's my elusive dream girl.

The original term was catchup. It first appeared in the English language around 1690. “Ketchup” is the more common spelling today.
Back then mushrooms were the main ingredient rather than tomatoes. The recipe has undergone many changes and variations over the centuries.

So can chickens. My uncle who grew up on a farm told me about the time their chickens got loose and were perched in a nearby tree. A storm was approaching so they had to round them up. It was not an easy task climbing a tree and trying to grab these birds, who would peck viciously.

(sung to the tune of “Puff, the Magic Dragon”)
[verse 1]
Todd the Candy Dragon lived in the woods
He’d take a breath and let it out, producing sugary goods.
Little Phoebe Howell wanted something sweet,
so Marigold arranged a date, so she and Todd could meet.
[chorus]
Oh, Todd the Candy Dragon lived in the woods
He’d take a breath and let it out, producing sugary goods.
Todd the Candy Dragon lived in the woods
He’d take a breath and let it out, producing sugary goods.
[verse 2]
Phoebe begged the dragon, “Please be my candy shop!”
“Would you be so kind as to barf up a lollipop?”
Marigold translated the dragon’s blunt rebuke:
“My candy comes from sweetened breath… It doesn’t come from puke!”
[repeat chorus]
