Pliny the Elder,

must have been

feeling like 

Pliny the Younger,

when he went

and tried to jump

that juniper bush.

I think it is time I got some closure

on that

open

windie

I suspect

the only thing

that will

with-stand

a nuclear winter

will be the

cockroaches

& those

smart enough

to earn

their trust.

my girlfriend

had an

hysterical

pregnancy.

***

But I guess

you had to

be there.

I’m going to go

out on a limb

and ask, why am I

always getting

stuck in trees?

“Land sakes!”

Cried the old woman.

***

High-up in

the crow’s nest

the old woman

squinted through

her spy-glass

***

Some-thing lie ahead, alright.

***

“Land sakes!”

she cried again

***

Below her the ragged

crew gave out a cheer.

***

Granny had

discovered America

The early bird

gets the worm

but the early

worm dies

When God closes

one door

He opens another.

It’s the same thing

with windows

& cabinets

  

‘happybirthdaypapa’

The guy to

avoid at a

nudist colony

is the

stilt-walker.

The only game

I was ever

good at was

peek-a-boo
