Got Milk? Collage. 81/2 x 11. Theresa Williams
I have a few of my collages to share; here is the first.
A good complement to this collage is the song "Cemetery Polka" by Tom Waits.
What can I say: I have been in a strange mood.
Cemetery Polka:
Uncle Vernon, Uncle Vernon,
independent as a hog on ice
He's a big shot
down there at the slaughterhouse
Plays accordion for Mr. Weiss Uncle Biltmore and Uncle William
Made a million during World War Two
But they're tightwads
and they're cheapskates
And they'll never give a dime to you Auntie Mame has gone insane
She lives in the doorway
of an old hotel
And the radio is playing opera
All she ever says is "Go to hell" Uncle Violet flew as a pilot
And there ain't no pretty girls in France
Now he runs a tiny
little bookie joint
They say he never keeps it in his pants Uncle Bill will never leave a will
And the tumor is as big as an egg
He has a mistress, she's Puerto Rican
And I heard she has a wooden leg Uncle Phil can't live without his pills
He has emphysema and he's almost blind
And we must find out
where the money is
Get it now before he loses his mind

I'd love to hear that song. Thinking you might like to read The Status Syndrome by Michael Marmot (I think, it's been a few months since I read the book). It sort of fits with some of your themes. Teagrapple
