The history
of the Shakers
is not
complete
without a nod
to
salt & pepper
Wrapped in mind-ribbons
This year everybody
on my Christmas list
is getting a thought
because it’s the thought
that counts
Mod Expulsions
Why lacquer
nude furniture
when you can
just cover it up
with
a few strategically
placed leaves?
Rules of the playground
If you should
ever find a
Popsicle stick
on the asphalt
don’t even try
picking it up.
Because, that
stick —
ain’t going nowhere
I used to drink so much hazelnut creamer that I would think coffee-mate would want to acknowledge me somehow
The dixie cup company
only wanted secession
from boring predictable
paper cups
Grift giving
I wrap all my christmas gifts
in garbage bags
to save a step
The frugal assassin
To-days assassin
always uses three names
just in case, one
of the name’s jams
.
Still there
My parents
abandoned me
as a child
at Disneyland.
I was raised by
animatronic wolves
The fighting duckpins
At the end of the Civil War
the ‘smart’ cannonball factories
immediately switched over to
bowling ball production
As one day I would
You would listen to
the Nutcracker Suite
differently if you
were a walnut,
or knew some walnuts.
