Dig deep into your wardrobe everyone and come dressed
all dorky for your class tomorrow
Yes Poet Don….

Hobbo? You didn’t miss it did you? Your one chance to stand out in the crowd?..
Bummer…
Ben?..Don’t tell me?.
Bummer….
Ingrid? Not you as well?
Bummer…
Alex? Now I know you keep a close eye on every World Celebration Day. No?
Bummer again….
Me?… Decked out in my favourite red velvet pants, polka dot short sleeve shirt, finished it with a paisley tie. I thought I looked quite dapper. Everyone just laughed. Think I’ll give 19 October a miss next year…..

Surely, you jest? To save time, in the 50’s and 60’s maybe into the 70’s sliderule types had at minimum five or six ballpoints stuck in their shirt pockets. These tools leaked. The pocket protector was a plastic sleeve insert to keep the ink from leaking into Mr. Wizard’s shirtfront. Never worked anyway, but Mr. Wizard never noticed.

And I thought that a pocket protector was something that a cricket player put down the front of his trousers to protect his pocket billiards!
