I loved Bob Newhart: he was my doppelganger: all my recent poems are minimalist; I believe :)

Reminds me of the passive-aggressive mug I used to keep on my desk at work (and still have) that said, “The greatest oak was once a little nut that held its ground.”

An old Newhart fan from way back in the day. If someone asked me to define dry comedy, I would say watch The Bob Newhart Show.
