When my Magic 8-ball tells me to
“Ask again later”
***
I assume it’s because
the demon that lives
inside the magic 8-ball
is probably
busy taking a bath,
***
or ironing a shirt.
***
or baking a cake
***
But, look — I know
I’m being ridiculous.
***
Because, really–
that demon could
be busy doing
literally anything.

Not at all! Capital breakfast. Though I had a turkey club. That was taken at Norms on La Cienega in Hollywood. Norm’s has been at that location since 1957. Thanks, mm!

He may be baking an angel food cake. (Of course, if he uses the incorrect baking temperature, adds too much liquid, or over-mixes the batter, the angel food cake could fall.)

It cost me the pool tournament when the demon in my magic 8-took a dive in the side pocket. I should have asked again later, like it said.

It may also be that the demon could just be getting off on stringing you along, while it weighs its other options, with absolutely ZERO intention of ever marrying you.

That’s one of the Four Agreements: Never assume. Very hard to do, even when musing about demons bathing in their spare time.

My Magic 8-ball was so slow, I traded it in for a Magic 9-ball. But I did have to sign a lifetime contract.
