I look up things

But I often find that whatever I used as a search term, there happens to be a band by that name.  Pages and pages of where I can get recordings of them, what happened to them, where there are memorials to them.


When I asked myself what do I remember of the many poems of Ogden Nash that I read, the "Don't anther" poem of yesterday came to mind eventually.  But the first thing was one of his "Strange Case" poems.  It is the one about a married couple who get off on boredom and travel the world seeking boring experiences.  It turns out that somebody made a movie, a cartoon based on his idea.  So, instead of pages and pages related to a band, I got pages and pages of info on the cartoon: cast, artists, producers, etc.  Never found a clean copy of Mr. Donnybrook's Boredom.
