One more Time

Bored Kadizzle once more set off for downtown on the train.  On the way to Union Station the conductor threw a cheater off the train.  The conductor says he catches about twenty a day.  After making my way down the street mall a bagel shop caught Little Joey's attention.  Locks and cream cheese on a bagel seemed the way to go.  It turned out to be too much cheese and too little locks.  Slowly Kadizzle made his way to the state capital area where the is a very nice park.

As Kadizzle sat down he noticed a shiny quarter on the sidewalk right in front of him.  Being a frugal man he reached for the quarter only to find out it was very well glued to the sidewalk.  Someone must have put it there for bum bait.  Now to the highlight of the day.  Denver has an excellent selection of bums.  Kadizzle sat in the park and watched the bum parade.  The bums seem like human pigeons.  They move about randomly. Denver bums all have big back packs. The prized possession of the bums seemed to be something soft to sleep on.  So here comes a bum with one of those quilted mattress covers wrapped around him partially dragging on the sidewalk.  As Kadizzle sat Shanika called for an update. Shanika called at the wrong time because he tied up the phone just as the most marvelous nut case of them all was dancing about picking up cigarette butts.  This totally insane girl with bright pink short hair and camouflage pants on danced about singing and looking for a smoke.  To make the act better she was babbling nonsense.  A picture would have been a treasure.

On the bike Kadizzle made his way over to the Cherry Creek bike path.  Many bridges cross over Cherry Creek and it seems the bridges were put there to give the bums refuge. Gliding down the pathway Kadizzle could see some bums drying their laundry washed in the creek.  Other bums were sunning themselves. The best bum was one letting his dog romp in the creek, but what made him an outstanding bum was the dog kennel on the back of his bike.  So many of the bums appear to be backpackers that came down from the mountains for a bum festival of some sort.

Finally Kadizzle made it down the creek to REI.  After carefully looking at everything in the store and determining nothing was missing from his life Kadizzle went outside.  On one of the benches was a brand new canister of stove fuel.  Kadizzle has several of the stoves that use this type fuel. Puzzled Kadizzle sat for awhile and wondered why someone went off and left the canister.  Kadizzle noticed there was a piece of paper with the canister.   After about twenty minutes when no one came to retrieve the canister Kadizzle went over for a closer inspection.  On the paper was a little hand written note.  The not said "I cannot take this fuel on the plane it is free to anyone who wants it".  Seemed like a good deal so Kadizzle came home with fuel for the stove.
