   That “Shoe” reminded me of a story about a couple who named their kids “Eeny”, “Meeny”, “Miney”, and “Harold”. Why “Harold”? Because they didn’t want no moe.

   As a delighted father of two admirable women, I find the Shoe strip more sad than funny. The time to decide you don’t want kids is before you have them. I never had a moment of regret, except perhaps not having one or two more.

   Ooten Aboot, Agreed. I’ve never cared for people who complain about their kids.

   I wonder if anyone besides us geezers remembers Edward Lear, the poet from the late 19th century. He wrote about an environmentally friendly gentleman:

   There was an Old Man with a beard,
   Who said, “It is just as I feared!–
   Two Owls and a Hen,
   Four Larks and a Wren,
   Have all built their nests in my beard!”
