Get It: 107 |
Vol. 1, No. 81 |
TO MUSE: Or not to Muse ...
that was the question ... t'was nobler to let it pass
... the brain worthless, awash in pollen 'n sticky fluids
... electron microscope images of these relentless invaders
flashed through ... but little else ... lest you think
me mad it remaineth so ... thith theathon of brutal yellow
dutht ... AHHHHHCHOOOOO! ... 'scuse me ... don't move
... I'll get you a towel ... drugs are nice ... there's
jes' no way to remain in a stupor for a month ... (even
though some might argue that I've done it longer than
that) ... I return to my labors ... eyes puffed out like
a diseased Goldfish ... wheezin' cough punctuated by spasmodic
outbursts when mucous finds its way down the wrong pipe
... but I'm not contagious!

QUIET: Number one prankster
left the buildin' ... number two's like a puppy ... lookin'
for it's siblin' who got adopted out of the litter ...
the sound of one hand clappin' ... I can't count El Jefe
as a prankster ... (even though he's a closet one) ...
only a few of his associates know though ... maybe we
could do a show 'bout it ... he could 'nounce it at an
All Associates Meeting ... he could invite his parents
to dinner ... ask 'em what they thought of pranksters
... they'd heave a sigh of relief ... his father would
admit that all these years he thought his son was a gangster!
... but a prankster's a different matter ... there'd be
the support group where he went with his mom ... his dad
would show up later ... loudly proclaim "He's a prankster,
he's here, get over it!" ... wonder if I could interest
the networks in the idea ... I think it's fresh ... hasn't
been done before ... could really help boost some of the
saggin' ratings! ... but back to the lone prankster ...
we need to make 'im feel at home ... try your best to
do somethin' everyday to lighten his day ... any prank'll
do ... ya might try to remember some of his favorites
he played on number one ... do 'em to 'im ... a pleasant
diversion from the busy season plannin'.

WE'VE GOT AIR: 'N it blows
hard ... the new heat pump's really gonna make a difference
... it actually appears to blow air ... could make a radical
difference in the climate inside ... I was pleased with
how quiet the outside piece is ... it only makes wind
sounds ... like I think it could take off if the wind
was directed down ... it's got the cutest legs holdin'
it up ... they kind of look like elephant stumps ... the
unit in the house is bigger ... took away some o' my prime
storage space ... guess it's time for a trip to the dump
... 'cept now we're gettin' down to the core of memory
lane.
