A woman I met at the mart
Was quite the exuberent tart.
With a wink and a smile
She had me beguiled
And managed to steal my kidney.

To editors who might be Googling me: I am not the Brian Wells in Maryland who was recently arrested for assault when he approached a number of people in a park and demonstrated what a "Hertz Donut" is.

Chloe whispered, "So romantic. Look at her. That's the way I hugged you when we first met."

I'm so old, I remember TIOLR, Texas Instruments' worldwide digital network that predated the internet by two decades.
I'm so old I remember when the only other astronomy website in existence I knew of besides mine was NASA's
I'm so old I remember when Yahoo really did have an index of every site on the World Wide Web
