The Lists Of Cousin Archie

paperMy Cousin Archie used to live in The Hells. I don’t know if he still does. I guess he must. Do you get out? I don’t know if you ever get out. That’s an important question. Have to write that down on my pad.

My Cousin Archie used to make lists. He was an organzied one, always doing something or other, always with the projects. And I have Archie’s notebook of lists. It’s a spiral notebook. A big spiral notebook of lists.

I hadn’t heard from Cousin Archie in a long while and went by his abode to not find him there at all. But there was his spiral notebook of lists lying there on his impossibly big ebony desk. How could I not take it?

Don’t know where Cousin Archie is. Haven’t seen him in literally ages. But I have his spiral notebook of lists. If he returns, and he needs his spiral notebook of lists, I will tell him that I have it and have kept it safe for him.

If a person opens up Cousin Archie’s notebook, you will read on the first page:

ARCHIE THIS IS MY BOOK TIME TO TAKE CHARGE!!!!!

Then on the second page you will read:
