When I was less than twenty-nine my job was to build a pipe line. More specifically, it was to find pipeliners who'd work for a dime and get the work all done in time. I watched them and asked them unshined questions to tickle their minds that were often quite cloudy from wine. Me and them men got along fine and delivered the pipeline sublime. What they didn't know at the time was that I was six months shy of nine.

I believe this one, it just has that feel to it. (but who knows, maybe I am wrong) Cute, Nancy! (and if you really built pipe lines, good grief, what a job that must be!!)
