Protege of vagabonds

the long version

From the publisher: Author/Poet, Chip Thomson, wrote this collection for anyone who sees the romantic side of life - or wants to. He has the unique ability to show, through his words, how beautifully complicated, yet amazingly simple, life can be. He has an appreciation for the light, happy sides of life, while not fearing to show his darkest depths and pain. Protege of Vagabonds discusses heavenly joy in something as simple as a special meal in Nothing for me, but lobster, please, and juxtaposes it with the melancholy, Browned eyed lifesaver. It also showcases his love for humor in the lyrical, almost ridiculous poem, Lone madrone country club. Chip loves life, all of life's emotions, and everything and everyone who comes with it. Poet, traveler, and somewhat of an anomaly, Chip Thomson, truly embraces a life on his own terms, and tributes his writing to Jimmy Buffett and Don Blanding -- even if he does accelerate the Margaritaville lifestyle a bit. Much of his inspiration comes from some of his favorite songs, including: Jerry Jeff Walker's Contrary of ordinary, Wilie Nelson's On the road again, Edwin McCain's Kitchen song, and Jimmy Buffett's Migration. Each song influences Chip differently and with him, only one thing stays the same, change.
