The Man From Mars

"I'm with Zortox now!
Why can't you approve of our
Interspacial love?"

Solitary Game

On the bus, a girl
Played musical chairs until
There were no seats left

Procrastination III

Instead of working
Drink deeply from the nectar
Of cable T.V.

Procrastination II

Instead of working
Rank the synonyms for “laugh”
My fav is “chortle”

Dormant

Try hibernation
It's not just for winter and
It's not just for bears

Procrastination I

Instead of working
Figure out what cheese you are
I’m an Emmental

Greasy

Having a deep fry
We're going to Grease City
Baby, here we come

A Fixer-Upper

I am who I am
Am I who I want to be?
What’s the gulf between?

Fishy

I got a new fish
She's a beautiful fish whose name
Is Salmon Ella

Deep Fried

The Frings Festival
Cutting-edge play acted by
Fries and Onion Rings

Vast

Resumes sent out
Into the world like tiny
Boats into the sea

Not For All The Bananas

Despite best efforts
My cat will not be convinced
That she's a monkey

Wide Angle

His failed invention:
Bananapanorama,
Fruit's-eye camera

Hair Care Cuisine

Strawberry scented
Hair mousse is disconcerting
Eat it or wear it?

- For George.

The Mission

Much like spy letters,
Printers self-destruct once the
Warranty is up

Two Views on Spring

Modernists debate
Whether April's the sweetest
Or the cruelest month

Restaurant Pond

To not annoy the
Hoi polloi they can enjoy
Koi in the lobby

Delicious Incognito

What's the cold, creamy
Dessert an unknown chef made?
It's Anonymousse

News Spoilers

I read the paper
Months after because I know
How events turn out

Sparkling

Just how tired was I?
Instead of face wash I used
Minty fresh toothpaste
