They say you can’t

really know a man

until you spend

a day in his shoes.

***

But what of the man

who refuses to let

me wear his shoes?

***

And what of the man

who then threatens

physical violence

after I attempt to

remove his shoes anyway?

***

Can we ever really know that man?

***

No, probably not.

***

At least, not without

those shoes.

Remember-

no matter what you

try to accomplish

in life,

no matter what you

try to do,

quitters never prosper,

UNLESS

they are the greatest

quitters of them all.

Stop light at Vermont and Ambrose

BACK in the 1950’s

if you were going to

Dial M for Murder,

you had better be

ready to dial some

other letters, too,

if you wanted to

complete the call.

What I most love about

Lon Chaney Jr is that

Lon Chaney Jr was the man

of a thousand faces

that mostly resembled

Lon Chaney Jr.

Before getting

assistance

at a magic store,

you should have

to take a number.

Any number.

Seems to me one

bucket of hot lava

could heat a home

for the winter.

My parents used to

hang my artwork 

inside

the refrigerator,

but the joke was

on them

because my art was

mostly of bananas

My box of Fruit Loops

says, “No gluten”,

but if I was really

worried about what

I ate

I would look for

the box that says,

“No Fruit Loops”.
