ALT The first few stanzas of Fog. The title is written on a jam jar. Fog so thick you could spread it on toast. [text in image] "Fog!" said Uncle Jim. "Sure, don't be talking about fog." We were stopped, having a lunch, sitting up on a log. We were out in the woods for a few sticks to burn. And visibility was dropping, but 'twas no big concern. "Where I'm from, out in Dunch Cove," he said, "the fog gets that thick there's no good in going wooding, my son; you won't get a stick. You can cut all you want, but the trees won't come down - they gets hung up in the fog, and can't reach the ground."
