I bid adieu to my

family & friends

and told them that

I would most-likely

be gone for years.

***

For I was about to

embark on a dangerous

journey into uncharted lands

— terra incognita,

to make my fortune!

***

But, life had

a surprise in

store for me.

***

For it only took me

15 minutes of panning

for gold,

***

when I suddenly

hit the mother-load

of boredom.

Mean-while on the boulevard des capucines …

Monet & Manet walk into

a shake joint to see

a dancer named Moanet.

Later, after the show,

Monet turns to Manet

and says,

“Any impressions?”

Old McDonald’s farm

used to get a lot

of noise complaints

***

But not for

the reasons

you may think.

***

Old McDonald —

suffered the

Night Terrors!

I remember always

being late for

school.

***

Though, back then

we called it,

being tardy.

***

These days I am

still always late.

Though now it’s called

being late, only.

***

I miss being tardy.

I had a note for that.

They say the

first signs

of cabin fever

are usually

cabin cough

and cabin itch.

I never understood

the whole digging

your own grave thing.

Under threat of what?

More death?

How about this instead?

You dig it, you

lazy ass, assassin.

I was never told

my nanny was not

human nor robot,

— but a simple

electric toaster,

until after I had

left for

boarding school.

But — let me tell you,

she always loved me

exactly as she could.

They call it

a moon-pie,

and it’s sweet

and delicious

but add some spicy

hot chili sauce to

it and guess what?

***

You’ve ruined it.

A wise man once said to me:

***

Live every day to its fullest,

for to-morrow, you could walk

outside and get hit by a

speeding bus with giant spears

sticking out the front of it.

***

That man’s name was Mad Max.
