About Sandbox

  • This is a place for a few people who work at a newspaper in Kitchener-Waterloo to share stories and pictures that wouldn't necessarily fit in newsprint.

    Think of Sandbox as an online magazine that collects extraneous journalism. If therecord.com was a DVD, we'd be the special features.

    Current contributors: David Bebee, Colin Hunter, Ben Gelinas, Chris Wilson-Smith, Karlo Berkovich, Ryan Chen-Wing, Dan Belgue and Amy Fuller.

WHEN IT RAINS, IT SNOWS

A poem by Ben Gelinas

Last night it rained
Then the rain apparently froze
And it began to snow
I park outside, so this was not good news
Thursday morning my car was covered
in a thick layer of pebbled ice
I had to scrape through it with my deluxe Canadian Tire scraper
The brush did nothing
Still, I'm glad I spent the extra money

Comments

Very profound...

Canadian Tire
scrapers, worth their wait in gold;
brushes, not so much.


Your poem gave me a Sunday morning laugh. :-D
