Old poem of mine posted especially for billy:


             < ADD >

Attention Deficit Disorder is a misnomer.
People with ADD have lots of attention,
they just can't control it very well.

I used to think I had ADD,
but my psychiatrist told me that
hypomanic episodes of manic-depression
are often confused with ADD.

But my friend has ADD.
He also has a large stainless-steel barbecue.

He was cruising the web one day and found this site:
( http://www.bkinzel.de/misc/ghg/index.html )

The guy at this site used liquid oxygen to quickly ignite his charcoal rickets.

My friend has always had a problem with his.

My friend is a physicist.

He brought some home last weekend.

Did you know that many cowboys were, in fact, from other countries
and that the word "barbe-a-que", meaning "cooked from snout to tail",
is French?

Though some say (Brits, I guess) that barbecue is a derivation of the term
barbacoa from the Caribbean island of Hispaniola and that it refers not to
the meat itself but to a cooking framework of sticks set on posts.

Tom Cruise has a large stainless-steel barbecue.
He also has ADD.

But thanks to Scientology and e-meters and what-not,
he doesn't need medications.
(My psychiatrist does not believe in Scientology.)

I was once involved with Scientology
but my psychiatrist changed my medication
and I gave it up.

I guess they are right.

My burns are healing.
