It’s

natural

to

want to

rub two

nickels

together 

I was thirsty and I

wanted a glass of milk,

but I didn’t have a glass.

***

But then I remembered

the classic magic trick.

***

I rolled up

a newspaper

and poured the

milk inside.

***

But when I went to take a sip–

all the milk had vanished!

***

Then it occurred to me–

maybe the secret to the

disappearing milk trick

was only the willingness

to attempt it.

I don’t eat

bubble-gum ice cream

because I can chew the

same piece of gum for

two-days straight. And

by then, the ice cream

has melted and my hand

and wrist are all sticky

.

 

I guess if

you’re a

nudist

you just get

used

to finding

pubic hair

on

every-thing

---

I feel like

the cat who ate

the canary.

No longer hungry

The small town

I grew up in  

was like a

ghost town.

Very scary!

You’re never

too old to

get arthritis.

There are over

a million ants

for every single being on this planet.

That’s enough to

keep us all in

ants for

a long, long time.
