Ghosts of refreshment past

 

Grandma told us

she would make us

her famous

“old-fashioned” lemonade.

***

Unfortunately she didn’t

have the main ingredient.

***

So, she asked us to

pray to God for a lemon.

***

And we did.

***

But no lemon was forthcoming.

***

To our surprise,

Grandma just smiled,

winked, and told us,

that she’ll have to

make lemonade

out of our predicament.

***

But none of us were

looking to drink that shit.

A girl named, sincerely

I once had a 

crush on a girl

named, Sincerely.

***

Then, one day,

she moved away.

***

Fearing I would never

see her again, I wrote

her a letter,

***

It began,

***

“Dear Sincerely,

George.

***

It was a very short letter.

***

At the bottom

I added a bunch of

X’s and O’s,

adding,

***

“This is what

tic-tac-toe

looks like

unbridled by the

number sign.”

Modern necromancy

The restless spirit of

the Spanish ventriloquist

Senor Wences has begun

communicating through me.

***

Using my hand as a vehicle,

just as he once did with

his famous characters!

***

I say this to you,

confidentially and only

because, Senor Wences

has intimated that he

has something very

important to tell you—

ABOUT THE FUTURE!

***

So pull up a chair,

as I don’t want you to

miss a single word!

***

But first let me

apply some lip-stick

to my thumb

and forefinger.

***

Because there is

something else

I should tell you:

***

Senor Wences—

wants to kiss you!

 

Tales of employment

We all know the story

of how the eight members of

Wallace Hartley’s band

continued playing even as

the Titanic was sinking.

***

But sometimes I wonder,

what of the other service staff?

***

For instance, what was

the crepe-guy doing?

***

Was he making crepes?

***

Or, was he making a raft of crepes?

***

I think too of the

ship’s scarf juggler.

Did he continue

juggling scarves?

***

And did the Titanic even

have a scarf juggler?

***

I have no idea. I just assume, yes.

***

What of the legend

of the ship’s masseur?

***

Some claim that during

the ship’s final moments

the masseur could be seen

frantically giving

deep tissue leg massages.

***

Though to himself.

***

“Legs don’t fail me now!”

he was last heard to say.

Transference

My girlfriend said

she loved me a

bushel and a peck”.

But that does not

fill me with

confidence, based

on her previous

statements regarding

dry measurements

Good news!

My friend quit

drugs cold turkey.

***

Bad news!

Now he’s addicted

to cold turkey.

***

Sometimes,

he calls me

late at night

and says,

***

“Hey man, you got any sandwiches?”
