The Shadow Knows Pineapples / La Sombra Conoce Piñas

La versión español está después de la versión inglés.

IN THE OPENING of the 1930s American radio program "The Shadow," a distinctive voice (of actor Frank Readick Jr.) asks — and answers — "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows." I wish my shadow didn't know quite so much.

But, I don't want to add to anyone's misery. So check out the pineapples I saw during morning coffee.

EN LA INICIAL del programa de los años '30 de radio estadounidense "The Shadow" (La Sombra), una voz distintiva (del actor Frank Readick Jr.) pregunta y responde: "¿Quién sabe qué mal se esconde en los corazones de los hombres? La Sombra sabe". Desearía que mi sombra no supiera tanto. 

Pero, no quiero agregar a la miseria de nadie. Entonces, mira las piñas que vi durante el café de la mañana y luego escucha a "The Shadow."

  5. That is worse than any mixing of plaids and stripes.

      I agree. And I've got more plaids and stripes coming to prove it.

  6. Those pineapples seem to be saying, "Okay to look but don't touch."

      It's so awkward. I've gotten dirty looks for staring at women's "boobs" when all I was doing was trying to read what they had printed on their T-shirts.

  8. Shadows can be awesome like this one.
    Pineapples belong on trees,
    that's all I have to say
    and
    bananas do too.

      That was a moody night and a moody shadow. As for the pineapples, just an odd choice to wear.
