Driving through the Berkshires last night: a haiku

In the headlights - snow
The Millennium Falcon
Is in hyperdrive

a limerick for the boss on his birthday

A man who was born to run
wrote songs that were number one.
He went dancing in the dark,
down in Ashbury Park.
His glory days as yet, are not done.

For the record, I did write this on Bruce Springsteen's birthday (which was Friday), I just didn't get around to posting it until today.

Of defining my life most every day

when there's no place to go.
