[audio:http://www.thebutteredslice.com/squid/mp3/Easter_Song.mp3] Where’d your gardener go? Has he left you lone?

Drizzle outside, Sports Center muted on the TV inside. The spoon handle rims around the empty can of cold soup as it clatters to the table.

My talented kindly brother will begin posting here under the name Squid. The Buttered Slice anticipates this collaboration with pleasure and seafood.
