Poetry By Committee Who is the Committee? We don't know and if we did, we wouldn't tell! These lines come from an In & Out item called Poetic Insanity. There you can enter the ending of a line of previous poetry (we use the term poetry loosely) and enter the first part of another line, of which someone other than yourself will complete. If you would like to participate in this living poem, please visit the site. Here is the location.
The "..." in the lines of poetry indicate the separation of what each writer contributed. And now....Poetic Insanity Book I Ah, Spring, when every young man's fancy turns to...reality And the ground lusts for…cow manure, But isn't it so ladies who always carry...mud, That which is lusted by…not very bright people, All hail to you, bright...light bulbs, Which give light unto...the urges of youth, Wanton wishes, left to self-conscious maniac…depressive ways, That will alter…my destiny, Which will eventually cause widgets to frim-fram in the…moonlight, But hark what light window doth…follow upon the muted lights of a runaway Ah, blast! What does "doth"…mean! Oh well, now I think I'll go...eat, For food fills my brain, and that's…when I know I've eaten too much...straw, Which upsets the delicate temperament of my delicate little...delicate thing, Which is so delicate it...must be handled with supreme delicacy, and It must be something like that other delicate thing that...I threw away. Oh horror of horrors, I should not have… Clowns to arrive and rejoice them with...games and songs And tales of derring-do that...were forever told around the campfires That melted the ice on their…shiny little Pekineses, Creating the worst kind of...rash, that spread quickly through the penguin community, Even until it reached their...head penquin who hated rashes so much That he hired a bunch of...hairless cats who loved to eat steel-wire rats Slow-cooked in…chicken broth to feed him a delicy That was made in the house of…Iamawinner,a megalomaniac Who wrote "DOVE'S SPEECH" n wanted to create a new form of…Government for the World Without Words Until his stenographer stops him and says..."Great Scott Jim, I'm a stenographer, not a Doctor! If you can't say something nice then... go eat a live cow!" he said, but was not understood Because of a sudden out burst of...phaser energy. so He said...”Typhlosion,” which quickly drowned all the world in a...Madonna concert tour, When she suddenly...fell over dead and was practically covered by fans Trying to grab...her, to burn her at a large funeral pyre And party session in the...Casbah, which rocked and rolled And fell atop a wicked witch with red striped songs. A young girl found her and said shocked to her little dog, "I don't think we're in...the way of anybody here, do you, Flotsie?" To which Flotsie replied with a wag of her left ear and said, "As if we care, sheesh, Humans are so...obsessive over trivial nonsense, Book II "I mean really!" Flotsie sputters as she licks her...I read the record of lodoss war And decided that even though I won the wounds of my friends may never heal!…Flotsie sputters as she licks her "Good thing you're not one of them. Boy if the humans ever found out you were a... Pink butterfly-like cheerio-eating... His list contained food items and furniture instead of…a list of stamps he needed to get For his extensive bird-tounge stamp collection…which had previously been traded to him By the earl of dungwich for a…pet vegetarian dragon, and 3 magical beans Which would grow to be…Eh...about yay high. Knee high to a grasshopper. But what he neglected to mention was the grasshopper in question was... really the King of Ghalir in disguise Who wanted to...marry the wicked witch whom he believed to be both alive And a Good Witch as he needed to...have someone to keep his more shady parts In line from ever appearing in front of the…picture window,where The nosy neighbours parked their lawn chairs to... get front row seats for the life of that illustrious grasshopper king, Which must be avoided at all costs or else the hideous truth will finally become publicized...in a Stories.Com Journal And read aloud at the Stories.Com...Convention, where too many authors to count are going to have fun, Get to know each other, and surprisingly...a few poor ones will not get to go And they will cry silently beside the kind, wise, and beautiful...frugal ants Marching in a line beneath the throne of eros…who gave The poor authors the chance to…strip down to just their loin clotnhes And have the battle of battles, while writing the worst campfire known to man, Offending the great... Zeus, who tried to strike the entire Stories.com server But was stopped by…the fervent prayers of faithful midget-tossing, zombie-stomping guerrila scribes At the Stories.com convention in the holy chamber known as...the water closet, Where the sounds of waste evacuation…can be heard for miles around, The sound ceases just before...the crack of dawn, But begins again...just after dusk, when the townspeople are all Gathering for the…Barmitsvah of the oldest unladden goat In all the village of the...one eyed, one horned, flying purplr PICKLE (:P) eater, Who shouted..."Thar she blows! Look to the starboard! Man the harpoons! It's a big'un!" But then there was a loud… Matterhorn, whose frosty peaks tantalized even the most grizzled…firemen of Watachooga. But, on the other hand, a mere pittance of...a wagging dog's tail, On a day when...life barked. Whoever let the dogs out, please step forward and receive your…just reward, A lifetime supply of pickles. Eat them in good health and make sure you Book III Hang garlic outside your door so the…leprechauns won't come on Halloween! But you'll have to be careful of those...gingerbread men, who like To throw big, heaping piles of…green jello at houses Painted...by western European Modernists. The only talent they have is at...swing dancing and proof-reading Which they only do because...their cat is curled up on the sports page, Which they want to read, due to the incredible picture of...a very cute football player, Who’s name is unknown due to the cat's...addiction to cat nip. So they took him to rehab with...the neighbor's llama, Who at at the time, was planningto take over the world but can't Because of his dehabilitating...addiction To the taste of a special frog called..."Special" who's long tongue will leave a line of drool on his counter, Which tastes EXACTLY like...marshmallow covered pickles, But only the ones from...Uyganda I won't tell you how I know that. Aaaaaaaaaanyways... The llama's plans were going well, when he his a snag in his 'Omega Ray M.7 cannon' prototype, And so he…danced on his ears until his brains came timble-tumbling out, which inspired...trash the woods, with red balls bouncing, Open up your life you...brain eating commie neofeminist.... Tickling down your spine, heavy beads of...rancid peanut butter Used to start fires in the forests of...oregano! Mm, and something like that Sounds good, like a…nutty salad, that only the turkey vultures would eat, Except for...that guy Jared who does subway commercial, because eating nothing but sandwiches has made him really hungry For...cotton candy ice cream and hot buttery popcorn, a big no-no for Jared, And for...me because I only eat olives And...pickle-sprouts (an odd organic food). Meanwhile, bouncing over puddles...Had been banned by local law enforcement, Which resulted in many...electric fences electrocuting me Until I would bleed like a...sweaty pig, who has so much...to offer another pig It's saddly...and downright immoral--especially when turkey was available For making that delicious recipe for…tuna fish surprise, yes the surprise is No tuna fish, just turkey, which was raised in...in a chicken hut instead of a turkey hut Which led to some confusion until...chicken tycoon, Frank Perdue, yodeled these words of explanation: "I'm really a woman", which left everybody...wondering if they were too, But then the great puma of grandian falls told them he was really a...Republican Senator from Rhode Island, Who studied nuclear photography with...an atom bomb, where he threw it out of planes and photographed the act, Book IV While people were...sunbathing, smack dab In the middle of...winter, Without wearing any...plastic pants the color of...overripe cantaloupe, Which is almost as bad as...killing chickens when you've only got a...weed-eater with a short string. But that's another story I'll have to tell later when...All of a sudden a purple cow started to bounced on the...dwarfs head,who squeaked, "I'm not as dwarfy as you think!" Which left many onlookers...to say, "Oh yeah! Suuuuuuuure! And If you're not a dwarf, my name is…Mrs. tinklebee, But you can call me...Ray, or you can call me Jay Or you can call me...Johnny Cash, because I dress in black And carry a...HUGE stick for bashing in....ice creams Filled with...re-fried beans, That go delightfully with...fritters dipped in blue applesauce, But only if I drink...the red wine Of a diamond goblet, halo over…paws who used his groin cup as a scratching board the back door, For over the front is a...poster from a 1980's Pat Benatar concert, where he met his one true love, A beautiful young woman named...Willamena, But that's really an alias for...Bartha,who sold doughnuts from her house Made of the freshest...Gingerbread, she was really From the fairytale...land of xanadubia, Near the country of...Spain, known not only for bullfighting But also...men in pink underwear Listening to the hard rock stylings of...Tom Jones, especially his duet With Opera-singing sensation...Roseanne (of Star Spangled Banner fame) Who is nuttier than a Pay Day bar eaten at the end of a seven course meal consisting of… hot dogs and Jim Morrison, A man known widely for his strange use of...peach marmalade and egg whites, While disguised as...Susan Lucci, famed soap actress Who made her debut on...04-17-02 @ 4:53pm with five fingers and three teeth. A blown up picture of her face lead to the destruction of...all the chickens, Turkeys, puddle laws and anyone famous, So of course all the mags based on stars just went out the window and the country...which was previously under a no liquor law, Sold lots of...cigarettes instead, But at least it wasn't marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy or...those little drinks with the umbrellas. They are so addicting to...anyone with fetishes for pretty things. So beware of decorated drinks and...bringing mice near elephants, Last time that happened...Antonio Banderas actually sang well, and Madonna finnaly learned to...dance. Book V Has anyone seen my...amazing technicolor dreamcoat? In the middle of...winter, It was red and yellow and green and brown and...ripped right up the front And down the...back was a big stain From...where it got buried deeper than I. My brothers did that because...the previously mentioned Mrs. Tinklebee instructed them to do so, but in following typical drag queen behavior, She...painted portraits of presidents on her toenails, And then demonstrated silly walks around the...public library, Where the police were investigating a bizarre homicide of a midget who was killed by a...green giant Who had an addiction to vegetables, green vegetables, and perhaps green fruit, which only would account for...his yellow teeth and his purple urine On his loin cloth which was made from peels of the ripest bananas from the Asian country of...Chapanoglia. The footprints suggested that it was a case of missing...wine glasses. According to the coroner, the midget died of a single...stabwound to the groin area Resulting in...a small packet of midget eating jellybeans chewing his nose off And throwing it...at a man with blue hair called Bill Who had a...swollen pinky finger Due too little slaming in the door to...raise his consciousness of The Swartz, Which we all know is a little...bald man named Alvin who doesn't vote, Just complains about...the kids these days And how they always...eat those nutra-grain bars And burp the...gas from the coca cola, which is better than farting, Like from beans and...hot chocolate flavored jelly beans Which go good with...pita bread which has been soaked over night In rancid...dill pickle juice Which was a year older than the the wine from...Mother Hubbard's cupboard. Why, she didn't even have…a pint of soured goats milk, Used to make...sour goat cheese, well all goat cheese is sour When...sent to Maldon High School for sewing classes. All they do there is sit and pick their...teeth, wait can cheese sew? Makes no sense but it does at the same time, because...we're all insane here. Well all of us except the old...before the shipment is sent to Maldon, Little appendage-making fairies give them arms, but sometimes they goof up and give them...tails, which they use to swat At little gnats flying around their...piles of elephant dung, Which are really army bases for...ants, fighting against crickets, like in the movie Antz, Because...everything that's cute has to be evil And anyway they've been killed now by...lady bugs. Who would have thought that those cute little things that smell so bad when they're dead would...come to life Book VI And dance the "Macarena" on Broadway to a massive audience of...hermit crabs. That was a spectacle of grandest…proportion, literally. The ladybugs were humongus, while the hermit crabs were tinier than...Calista Flockheart, Who eats only ice cubes and...celery, but she barely eats celery because it's fatty and gets stuck in her teeth, eats it, it won't be attractive, even though she loves corn, But sometimes she will eat...green peas, as long as they are boiled, And not…fried in car grease, which is a meal more prefered by Marlin Brando And...that dude from duece bigalo, Which inspired lots of teens in the town of...rancho-cucamongo to start rollin up their dirty socks and smokin them, Resulting in...barefoot boys and girls Walking upside down in the rain under the...immense canopy of trees That shelter both man and...Elvis impersonators who were playing their guitars And yodeling to Sam Whitman songs while…snogging each other's noses, Deliciously slurping up...coca-cola slurpies That were starting to drip stickiness down...just like you always coming down on me, Something I’ll never understand is the way you…can't see that piece of brocoli stuck between your teeth, But anyways...broccoli is the least of your worries, Because the guy in the cubical next to you is trying to catch a glimpse of your...lemon meringue pie, With its mounds of luscious…mashed carrots, just like mama used to make, Except she would add a pinch more of...salt, Because only the visa card holders think "the soup is too salty" but...most of the rest of us Put our heads in…trash bags and dance the tango with wild horses, A tradition started by...some very drunk people While they were having a brain-storming session, trying to find a better way to...lick the last bits of cake frosting Before throwing the empty container all the way to...Kalamazoo, singing "Where have all the cowboys...put their horses?" The horses in question went missing after the huge...rock fell from out of the window at the no-okay saloon, Crushing...millions of innocent grilled cheese sandwiches. The tragedy sparked a riot and subsequent civil war in...Kitty’s saloon Where all her girls screamed...and cajoled with barn owls, Taking them out to get a drink of…hot chocolate spiked with tequila, which is considered a delicacy in Phoenix, Because all the...Glen-Campbell-impersonating teddy bears who are paranoid enough to think that Elvis is alive, well, And married to…circus clowns from Florida Book VII And does tricks with elephants but watch…out, because Elvis is actually A trainer of handicapped elephants now because...elephants are just so cute in blue suede shoes, Especially when...they are a bit tiffed from those Jail-house...jigs, just like the movie Where the prisoners danced with the...voodoo dolls from Boston with wigs Made of the finest...gold strains and braided streaks of ruby red With...Neddals going through them and people beat their dolls with knives While crying out "you lied to be you son of...a feathered boa! Grr, how I hate wrapping…my legs around your throat When we wrestle or play...blind man's bluff in the minefields, The explosions really ruin my...day! So why don't we play it instead in...a cave where bats bite you until you bleed a lot And scream for...your neo-feminist grandfather, Who has a problem...with turtles, because they ate his parents when he was a mere child of thirty. When he sees a turtle he...HE PEES HIS PANTS AND BREAKS OUT IN RED BUMPS AS HE PICKS HIS NOSE DRIVING HIS MOPED TO...Botswana where the great white sharks Always seem to…eat, I mean, greet people warmly with a handshake And a firm...stalk of celery, which is great For dipping in...odd items in the fridge And...drinking week old milk, But only if the cows...are drinking chocolate milk and vanilla cookies With...grape-colored swans, Shaped like effervescent…poodles, Eating pink colored...hot-puppies, better known as butter flavored pancakes, Eaten by the famous...Adolph Hitler impersonator known only to his friends as Norris, Ever since he was...fired as the over weight Elvis impersonator at the Dew Drop Inn Patio Lounge In downtown...Timbuktu, where the fountain in the center of the town square Spouts...crisco and lemon juice, a fine combination especially when you're in need of A good...shower on the run. And always remember to wash behind...your ears, especially if you’re an elephant, and brush your tusks With...meringue, Since it'll give them a nice, lustrous…skin condition, which could only be cured By scratching with...chickens. How quickly and quietly and cluckingly, they...inspect each other's bottoms As the yellow dung beetles bake in the...sun, While the chickens turn into fried chicken and buffalo...wings of humungous proportions. Book VIII But then again, that's typical of chickens from...Canada. And if you eat it then you'll...die from spiciness, Because hot sauce makes you...think you're a small purple frog From t'ir na n'og, land of the…mentally infected and home to Spiffy, The mysterious magical...ferret, which looks like a big rat and a cat, very different animals? No and...then you start spinning in circles And repeating the word..."Megahertz!", which is fine for those of us interested in improved relative application performance, But not of much interest to those concerned with...baking cookies, Smelling fresh with that perfect hint of…nuthatch, which is a really a bird, You should get one, they're great for...companionship and will keep you entertained for hours Trying to impress you with…its rendition of show tunes and and snappy comebacks Reminding us of why...Liza Minelli sat on that pin and deflated. It was because she...consumed a walrus composed in fluff; It had look so moist and tender she couldn't...ignore the surging veins in my arms, instead mistook them for a sign of affection And then…got out her whips, chains, handcuffs, and other kinky items such as a cooking-oil-greased…pigs, Who danced jigs during her gigs and...and sang the lovely ballad "I Want To Be Your Soggy French Fry" From the hit Broadway musical...rubber baby buggy pushers, the soulful show about drug dealers Who spend their Saturdays going to...kiddie matinees where they sit in the balcony To throw popcorn down on sweethearts who threaten to…convulse, do speed. Then beat the hell out all of those dweebs…but the guy who runs the film, Larry, A misfigured ex-circus clown, returns fire with...a handcranker special loaded lizards And…reptiles and the ill famous Molly the crocodile Who does not...look very useful for luggage, But with her tail can...paint reproductions of Hans Muller's, the Nazi artist, painting of the Hiney brothers, Big Red and Thor. However, Molly had a handicap that...caused her to belch toxic gas That created...giant jello green clouds That circled around her...left arm, which was garbed in a brown paper bag from...Loblaws With elastics firm around the…wrist, yet one claw still poked through making a scratch pattern on the floor That looked vaguely like a...rodenderon, But surely not because...bug, Book IX With a ugly big fat...ring around his finger thrust it into the air and yelled "One Ring to Rule them all", Then passed out on the for looking like...a sad, sad prairie dog, standing on his hind legs, looking far and wide for the dreaded killer jack rabbit and the evil Bambi. Then he shouted the warning that sounded like..."Gurf!" Then a boy came over and stood there doing...absolutely nothing As he was in complete...remission From damning contrition left to...(whaat?) molly the crocodile, my creation, to clean up all the dishes After the big...Cinco de Mayo celebration, where we used aluminum softball bats to beat the huge piñata, Shaped like the head of...Crocodile, Which had Molly so upset she...pulled out a transistor radio, a paperclip, a rubber band, a foot of duct tape, a #3 pencil eraser and a hair pin And ingeniously made a...three-masted schooner to rescue the castaways on Gilligan's Island. Now to find a map she could...have a stuttering problem, Which always seemed to happen right about when…she thought thought of that gorgeous Gilligan. But no matter, it was time for her to...sail away And see what she could do to...get a killer whale to bite her foot off to finally get it to stop itching, Which would finally allow her to concentrate on...reading War and Peace, but we know she'll give up because That book is...being banned for not having enough innuendo or sexual related subjects Involving...pot-bellied pigs, Which are notorious for their nasty habit of...dancing in church. Dancing is not the problem but the loud oinking when they see someone sleeping. One time Cooshaw, king of the pot-bellied pigs, said..."Slap me in the oven and call me roast! I think preacher fell asleep!" And then he pointed at...that ugly man That always steals from the collection plate, sitting next to...the crumbling statue of Mary, Bacon is my favorite…party favor, And the king of Istanbul is a...tyrant who loves to cannibalize while eating pig's tongues and laughing to himself. And wouldn't you know, that this is also the kind of person to…push little children in front of speeding snails while torturing them with music from the eighties Boil cockatoos and galahs with garlic and rosemary to feed to his slaves who dye his hair blue and clip the talons of his hobo-eating...fish that dances the cha cha cha on tables in strip bars and plays eighties music Book X While...yelling, "Ich bin Deutcher", yet It's obvious he is Portuguese by the color of his...boxer shorts, which are red and green And have the Portuguese crest emblazoned on the...behind, yet Strangely it still had a certain dignity because...it doesn't like dancing alone. In fact it has some strange...dance steps that include standing on his big toe and yelling "YEE HAW!" However, it is a little know fact that he is...a brit!!! Who would have thought- he’s such a good impersonator- Actually he does awesome impersonations of...Kirsty MacColl, especially when he sings "In These Shoes", Which sounds especially funny since he's wearing...black socks which are worn through where each toenail pokes out to view the world, And oddly the toenails are painted...red and white, to show that really, he was Canadian - not Brit, nor Portuguese. Now if you pulled his mustache/beard thing hard enough...to the right, find You will, reveal...a large egg, speckled orange, That shakes when you...jump on his toes. So I recommend that The next time...you jump on his toes; also take the time to jump on his egg because- Can you keep a secret? Its a...an alien, only on their planet men have the children, Don't...ya know, While women pee while standing at the urinals that are located…in sycamore trees where you climb to the third limb and stand on your head to use them. Nevertheless, thousands of people come to observe the annual...air show, displaying all the new flying saucer technology And...they would climb into the flying saucers, to see if they could learn to fly them. Once they had that info, they would...try to take over the world from the currently ruling Anteaters Who have their capital in...Daytona Beach where they spent their time ogling the topless bathers And shopping in the local leather sex shop for…bondage materials to captivate the nation with, making them easier to capture, But for the rest they had...black plastic handcuffs and orange rubber whips to subdue the cats And their...strange owners- then, -sigh- they will go on a journey never experienced by anyone but them- to their planet zifnockle Where their leader...hopelessly captivated by all this paraphernalia and morphed into a poodle dog. Unbeknownst to his subjects he enjoyed...P&J sandwiches in his spa with a glass of red wine with green grapes- but that’s not all! He also...liked Daytona Beach so much that he decided to go back for more. Book XI As he strode down the beach in his...blue suede shoes, holding a pair of zircon encrusted tweezers in his hand, Everyone thought he was...picking his nose. But really, he was picking the sneezklies from...his nose hairs. Sneezklies are parasites known to attach themselves to nose hairs and...eat away people's brains who enjoy things like this And who also do idiotic things like...put on his favorite saddle oxford shoes and socks and run naked through Kroger touching as many fresh fruits and veggies as possible in 90 seconds, A hobby that has...swept the countries of Canada, Portugal and Britain, But not...Iraq, because SoDamn Insane rules there, and he insists that his citizens join him in another kind of recreation Which is wearing nothing but a dirty diaper and…a pork chop around your neck so that neighborhood dogs will give you some attention, Granted the diapers give rashes and...animal hair cause wheezes, But animals have...the same problem with Insane, Because his looks send them running for the trees south of...the Mississippi river where all the Dutch dam boats go through, and that’s where the dogs hitch a ride, But as there's washerwomen on board, they get…their fleas washed away. Which really sucks for the fleas, because then they get…lice themselves, and they scratch and scratch And yell...hallelujah, ouch and "what is going...on here?! They float down the river only to be caught up on cows’ legs who are wading among other things, Which are black and white and owned by...Bill Gates, the other computer guru, Who is working to corner the market with...a fuzzy mouse that talks back. His other unusual idea is to take...3 bottle rockets, a coffee can, a needlepoint set and a Sony Walkman to create a replica of the Eiffel Tower, Which everyone says is...an impossible task to complete with the assistance of mild mannered reporter Clark Kent of the Planet Newspaper Who at this very moment...is typing away at his keyboard And placing a call to.....his physician trying to locate A chill...wheel to become the paddlewheel on his miniature riverboat for his fuzzy mouse to pilot. However, the fuzzy mouse suddenly decides to straddle a bottle rocket and...fly away with a tiny violin hanging from his tail And…snarkfue, whose wings are almost bald and also likes to bathe in the rancid vats of pickle juice Held in great honor by...his ears. They are purple with polka dots. They do it up right there and that nose could stop...a volcano's lava from running rampant Down...traffic because it wears an orange vest and blows a whistle. Book XII The screech of the whistle, serves to remind us of...all people get to play in the traffic. It's kewl dude, and why not homey. Take a little time to smell the...trashy thingies in your garden? Afterward, you could...baloney. But that's ok and that's all right because, I am a bit daffy and you're a bit...wacky, So both go hand in hand so...bite your lip And pick your nose and...always remember that anything goes "The kingdom for a dime!" was what he said, but we all know he meant...A dime we spent, just a minor dent, But...he knew he had to earn the rent. So off he went to...the general store where me happened upon a wild boar who asked him for the baseball scores, Which were...up and down like the yoyo of a clown, yeah, A clown dressed in green, with a face ....of a mace. With hair as tangled as a three-legged Cyclops in an abstract sort of way, Yet all the while...he kept grinning that crazy smile. He walked for a mile and then...he stopped and said where was. Walking again, and who...was that masked man! It was like a turnip with a glaze of…fine silver, Twisting and turning as it dreams of the...underground turnip railroad, Saving...The silver, For a sliver of...that fine apple pie. He liked it a' la' mode, don't cha know, and...those drinks With the little umbrellas, sent directly from...Umbrellata, a small island in the South Pacific, where the natives worship a rusting flamethrower left over from WWII which they claim is a sleeping dragon, All the while...that dragon is adding, because they say he was mad that day And so...he does long division in his head and calculus while he eats dinner. Dinner normally consists of…6 chocho's, a piece of toast, a cocktail with an umbrella and a stick of jerky on the side but you should see his tea! It was blue and green and yellow and red and purple from the country of...Ula Ula just off the continent of Asia in the fourth Latitude of Lumbar Where the native girls are actually guys who dress up in their ceremonial...muu-muus for the upcoming Luau. While they are there, they will beat the drums and also...live la vida loco all the while a little bird runs down the street yelling, "The sky is falling, ya know!" The natives refer to the bird as a...a big fat spam making machine Used for the people in...in Mississippi where Spam is a delicacy served on crackers with RC cola, turnips and creamed rutabagas. Book XIII Bubba of The Whine & Cheese Co, makes Spam in seven flavors among which are...bar be que, and the ever popular bubble gum, which doesn't taste like bubble gum at all, but say that so kids will eat it. It really tastes like...turpentine that has been put through the grind, 'moonshined', but never you mind, It has been left to...the elements to 'mature' just tastes worse, but all the better to help the natives in their ceremony im becoming alligator men like they do in some other islands, where the women...tand on their heads in the moonlight in hopes that the great stork will come and roost on their toes, Which according to native customs, will ensure she'll have a strong girl child who will...grow up to resent her mother ever standing on her head so will go and catch the stork herself, But then no children can be delivered unless...stork is offered the third flavor of spam from the Whine & Cheese Co., which is called Almond Jalepeno, But oddly tastes more like...bubble gum, because they alone have made a product other than the great chewing food that actually tastes like it, But their pimento loaf, unfortunately, tastes like...squishy human waste, Which is actually a delicacy in...in the mind realms of some, who for no other reason than a wish to 'space out', Have conjured up the idea that...Texas is a large state when in fact it is located between Rhode Island and Delaware and contains only one town, However President George Double-U Bush claims...regal dominion. Although when he is on his ranch and working with the animals And Gorbachev comes to visit...’make no mistake, we will hunt them down' and then gives a frown, Cos...he feels so down. The horses, cows, and chickens on the ranch then feel like...they are in a trance, For the time cometh...when chicken toes are tasty And cows give green...horns the willies. But these are special cows they moo to the tune of...oops, I did it again, then make up their own lyrics whenever they go into the milking shed Which actually saves the farmer money from not having the radio on but try and shut them up again...and they will snort and call you a cad While dancing on your hat which they have thrown...onto the mat and bawl at the moon Which is...Spamsville a spammy spammy sort of place Which, contrary to popular belief, is not green, because...the spam hasn't molded yet Due to the past five years of...the heat has killed all the grass and other vegetation, leaving as a crusty brown color That...matches all decor and fashionable wearings, But does absolutely nothing to improve upon the...personalities or moods of the good happy people who travel by stage coach Book XIV To shop in the town of...Bora Bora, outside of Angora. Where small children huddle to…keep warm by the fire and play on the wires, So hot with desire and...bogged down in the mire, like a drunken town crier, Roasting pigs on the fire...while the choir sing up in the church spire, Oh how I admire...those who read the paper, From a skyscraper…the clowns on the wire! Except for the one who looks like he got too much sun, The one whose teeth...won't stay inside, because he eats too much crackers and dropsy snide, however his breath smells like formaldehyde, Which means...she should stop sucking on toads. Unless they are kicking, which means that tomorrow, The frogs will...turn into Venus Flytraps, snapping at me with their wiry little teeth all the while staring at me with their beady little "all knowing" eyes, But I'll show them when I...douse them in gasoline and ignite they're little gonads Causing them to…break out singing "there's gonna be a hot time in the old town tonight," Meanwhile there's Gailey bringing hot chocolate for all the spectators who are...all there to visit Tornado Day's freak show, Which has in it's cast this year is the fantabulous...Hairless Sasquatch named "Peep" and his dancing monkey "Jo Jo", who does a funky dance called the... moo, moo, The monkey thinks he’s a...big ole pile of squash, lightly seasoned And served with flambéed...but smells like dead fish. And in the back there is a convention Where the highlight is about authors who…are called Starrs ask questions about eyeballs popping out while little David plays his tuba in the half time show trying to revisit his past Because...he forgot where he put his ba-ba. Someone found it and sent it to... a little old lady in Pasadena because the "voices" in their head like to sing beach boys tunes, A psychological condition called...old man bad band psychosis, and you just know This is the fault of...growing up in an era of sex, drugs and fantastic rock-n-roll. From there life’s contradictions whirled you...into a life of powerpuff girls and chocolate Easter bunnies. But you should never combine the two when...you are entrusted to watch small children on a school night For...their parents who are out rock'n'drug'n'rolling, but at least you get your homework done, Which is not fun…so you grab a gun that shoots eyeballs out of it because it's fun And it confuses the…neighbor's dog, because he loves popcorn and trigonometry, which you have in abundant supply, Book XV While watching...the writer, but then again the parents left some drugs for the writer who is talking...through the window at the writer next-door, And together they will...with mischievous laughter wage a war against each other with limericks as their only weapons leaving a wasteland of balled up paper between their two houses at it's end, Which...contains All the wordities, absurdities, non-conformities, abnormities, maladjustments, maladjustments, non-alignments of every phrase and sentence ever...known to man, woman and child. Oh it is WILD! Join one and all in the crudities…or as Hans Solo said, "Pull out your blaster and blow them away!" Enough of this mumbo jumbo force be with you and another thing...never play poker with an aardvark For he will...always have at least two aces of spades and one ace of diamonds tucked away in his snout, All the while...Stealing your money off the table when you look away, So don't...ever play with pickle sandwiches either. Especially bread and butter, Because then the chipmunks say...watch where the pickle chip land, 'cause that is where you'll find the smoke house band. But mostly we ignore the chipmunks because...they drink too much wine, which suits them just fine, And they call out your name...really loud and form a crowd, Then, with their little teeth...they'll only eat beef, Though they hide their fleas under the slices of cheddar cheese...and put on you the blame, but, Hey, it's all the same because they...think it's funny that you eat garlic with your chocolate. They also laugh at you because…they know that you wear your underwear upside-down and You show your rear all over town...but hey, what else are you going to do When you have had too much...joking about chipmunks in one evening while failing to mention their fine cousins the squirrels, Who...hoard plastic nuts and fruits, imitation corn chips, broken down spatulas and microwave ovens and Then mid-winter complain about the…cost of ice cream at the local grocery store Where they...advertise local ho-downs that are held in farmer browns barn Which everyone attends and has a jooly pop and organic chicken burger with their…tour around the town. But, alas, there sounds a beat that gets folks to their feet and Hallelujah they all get down to a...fine musical treat, played by the chickens with banjos. You can't get much better than the chickens in leather, so come on and tickle my rear with a feather, The crazy lady sang, but...cheese was not in season at the time. Book XVI Apparently, the cows, goats and sheep all decided to go to…Oudacyte for the erudite, cryptonite might be right, sure helps to ease the blight, But then suddenly in the night...there was a fight as they strived for the light, and with all their might, They...sat on a radioactive hamster while singing "I wanna hold your hand," so they found the light after all-they glowed in the dark-and, As a result, began to...go to every forum I can think of to say...THANKS for the costumicon, Whoever you are! What fun…to flow along the Avalon, on down stream past the Mafia Don who secretly drew his gun, bye bye Sweet Avalon, Until there is...nothing left this very day, 'Cept a cow, a sheep and a bail of hay...and in the bale of hay I found a coconut, a porcupine and something round, But what it is I cannot tell...although it weighs just short a pound. That porcupine did hurt a bit...but, it beat the smack out of that cow that the squirrel had broken up with, Because the cow had...unleashed hell, a frightful smell that everyone involved could tell Came forth from its…left ear, Which is why it couldn't hear when it spilled it's beer...in the path of that oncoming space ship and There are more…penguins dancing on the hardwood floor, Singing..."We are the world... We are the penguins,” at which point they were destroyed by blasters And in walked a...flying squirrel! But O my gosh, look behind him, It's...Admiral Byrd, riding in the gondola of an antique balloon just like the one in The Wizard of Oz, Except this one is propelled by...actual winged monkeys from the Wizard of Oz, and a big blue elephant with a flatulence problem Which leaves a cloud of...grey mist in the sky and then the braying donkeys come by, but We can't keep them at bay because...they love our lemonade. Made with only the freshest lemons, sprinkles with...pigeon droppings, But only for flavor, of course...and French onion soup Added for a rich, hearty…warm fuzzy feeling. The kind that squishes when…you stick it between your toes And wade through vinegar with...alcohol and H2O, Ah but let's not forget the tulips...as they grow, taller, eating everything that crosses their paths, Oh wait, those are...the sufferin' 10-foot sunflower seedlings! They bear down on you with their...large, sharp teeth. Ready to devour you as...you skip through the strawberry patch trying to evade the resident elephants Book XVII Before you get trodden on and look like a strawberry…jam--an elephant’s strawberry flavored toejam— Which is believed by the I wanna Toelicki Tribe in the Congo to possess the power of...of the Jedi. So why ask why? Come on over to my place, and thanks for stopping by. Gadzooks! She cried...I ordered broiled chicken, not fried!" "No you didn't," the waiter lied, in a voice that was quite snide. This really hurt her pride, so she left the restaurant and...cried. In the streets she wandered far, in search of her car, But instead found a bar full of...aliens trying to master the use of credit cards and video games, As they pass through…puberty, which is 132 years. On Orkah that's only 132 minutes, But with the galactic time-shift you take the square root of the hypotomuse and plant it in the droppings of the great Poda among the yakyak bush on Remuli III, it is...considered to be quite a culinary delicacy on Dreboss V And is usually served with...fried earthworms in a succulent sauce made with lark's vomit And other crude Monty Python jokes so...4 Am, most of the aliens had inhaled some glue, drank some beer And they seem to be okay but...they were singing "The Stars Spangles Banner" in their no-nonsense language Which sounds like...Three twigs drifting through the vastness of space, Like a rodent with no nose to twitch...which brings us back to the hamster that started this all, A chap by the name of…oggly doogly Jim. But if you think that is a nifty name, check out his sister, Who was named...after the noise of a coin hittin the floor : chin chuin chon but her last name I still don't know It starts with...an f or a ph I never can tell, So...I just call her Joey...but she can't do the "Whooooooa" thing, So I don't know why I call her that, instead of...Dumbo, which would fit her so much better, Though she is kind of...small to have those big ears, but don't mention 'em Because she's almost as sensitive about her ears as she is her...mother who had big front teeth. And a big butt. They called her bumpy bucky in high school causing her to...kill 333 people in one week, then... she kill 333 more people the next week and if we add those numbers, we get the number of the beast 666…but let's stop talking about diabolic nonsense And let's get back to where we left with the aliens in Krypton talking with Jor-el about...that goofy flying squirrel, who bounces back from heartbreak And is dating the most beautiful...smurfs and lasagna, but then, Book XVIII This is normal on...some occasions and even in some states like Utah (smurfs Claire? and you had me getting anal probed in another in & out! ACK!), But this just so happens to be illegal in Texas where they will...hunt a trash page like this one we do, It is mocking my insanity trying to decipher what's literally there...in the trashcans of other's computers. But in Arkansas, you shouldn't...insult flying squirrels because they may get even in another in and out, So as I apologize to my favorite squirrel, he...keeps telling me to put the horse before the cart 'cause that increases the horsepower, But spark plugs are so cheap now’ days ya might as well...just plug yourself into your toaster and hope for the best, Though...that's what Albert Einstein did, and now HE'S DEAD! So, just grab that orange and...peel it with your toes While shouting..."Rama-a-lama-lama-lama-dama-ding-dong-do..." Because those are your happy words which you always say when...you think you have run out of papers but find an old pack that has five leaves left, Which was the name of your favorite Nick Drake album back when you were...hitchin' time zones, dodgin' nursery rhymes, paintin' museums dedicated to alabaster thread, And generally wonderin' about...the meaning of life and Contemplating what that strange sign you found in your cereal bowl might mean...everything and nothing at the same time, Yet hoping all will at least…be a prize to send back to the company And receive a coupon for a free day at...work out for the best for someone, somewhere, But you feel sure that...it won't work out like that. You know if...you add a pinch of salt when making ice cream, it brings out all the flavor, Especially when making…hominy grits ice cream with a pinch of cheese. It attracts...all those spoon-poking badgers we've seen around. New to the kingdom, but still...very old and wise, Though in a strange way..they remind me of Alan Alda, during those years between M*A*S*H and his role in "Murder at 1600", Which stunk like...a skunk fresh out of his bunk, he was a hunk who ate a chunk of Cadbury chocolate which was the nicest thing he's ever eaten he said But he preferred…to eat gravy-covered dog biscuits with a fine Merlot and creamed corn on the side, While for dessert...was a choice, "Pecan Carmel" topping Over Ostrich lymph nodes or...maybe just simple apple pie He was American after all. Now Canadians, they eat...the same odd things That we Puerto Ricans seem to be in love with…back-bacon and split pea soup, although Book XIX This would be considered an offensive culinary experience in...most countries, eh? But you gotta love those Canadians. No one else knows how to...play hockey as well, or kiss yaks as well, But then there are the Egyptians who...also known for their ability to kiss yaks and then eternalize those moments with mummification, A process that takes...It takes a strong stomach and lots of will power to eat this mess up like It was a desert…fit for a king, unfortunately the king was Tut And the dessert was...poodle a la 'range. He would set them on fire, run them around the temple then...destroy it with his chariot of fire!! What kind of woe was this he'd been dragged into? One of many moons and monsoons, which were not so rare in Egypt, but no one knows about that now, because...it was all written on a manuscript that eventually found it's way I Into an outhouse never to be seen again UNTIL...all Cleopatra’s men in waiting had to empty out the outhouse, And while sifting through the wheelbarrow for useful remains they found it and now it lies in a water tray in Auckland museum…only to be mistaken for a piece of ordinary paper, and used to make an airplane, Which was shipped to...the writer of fine words dressed in linen with the inkhorn and pen in his hand and who stretched his hand upon the fine parchment And wrote...his resume!! How was he about to pass up the chance of a lifetime to begin his journaling career! Just as his hand began to touch the paper though...the phone rang and it was his half-brother's mother-in-law's ex-husband trying to entice him to invest in a penny-stock gold exploration company that was a sure thing to hit it big, If he would only loan him $10,000 he would gladly repay it by...Tuesday for a hamburger today, coke and fries are optional with a diversified stock portfolio And then his mutual funds...would multiply like a bunch of guppies, But on march 3 3003, these stocks split, causing mass...hysteria and malaria, heartrending, goaltending, soft sell fare-thee-well, cash and carry commentary And…a partridge in a pear treeeeeeeeee! However, if you read between the lines you will notice that...everyone here is completely insane So there is no pain in...being a banana, But if you spill something on the rented suit, you will have to...Cry cry babeeeee, cry cry babeeee out out Damn…aunt Dee, you drive me to distraction, For you are crazier even than...(I don’t know what song we’re singin' here) aunt Margereie who wears her hair in ponytails and wears a red and yellow spotted dress- Book XX She has 16 actually- and has 1 child, who is like…Pippy Longstockings except not as annoying mostly Because she's been dead for several weeks now after tragically getting run over by a ...out of town adverb not knowing it's way around, Till it finally found...Runaround Sue, But then the problem is that you must asceranahan your…whole stock of chocolate ice cream to your third cousin, 4 times removed, And dance around...daisies and tiptoe thru the tulips, playing the ukulele Just like Tiny Tim while also...kicking at the dog whose riding your left leg Hoping that Joe next door will...pftttttttttth and pftttttth and pftttttth some more till he blows the house down, or circles around, looks outta town, says that's where I'm bound, And gathers up steam to...do the limbo nice and slow While his horse…drops dead Then look up, stand up and see…it galloping below But wait there is something in the…local fire truck being stolen by the neighborhood dogs again? Now they'll be visiting all the fire hydrants and that siren is...saluting the general Who is …drunk once again, but no one really notices, Because his *loving* (witchy) wife is...dancin' and prancin' and swayin' to the siren And stayin' near the hydrant and...crying like a fire in the sun to keep her batteries of the vibrator charged So she can…quiver up the river on a blow-up doll Throwing kisses to the…"Hey, isn't that a shark!" she exclaimed. A shark in a river is really out of place except in...case of fire, Jettison the cargo and swim to…the nearest island, where you can hang out with the Survivors and teach them how to actually make fire. After that, you can...pound sand and rub your belly With jellyfish until it gets a nice red color and swells really big... then find a nice spot on the beach and sunburn your back real good So that...even aloe won't cure it. After we build a lookout tower, we'll...count the blisters and call the trees sisters Cause the shade's gonna disappear real soon if we don't…find someone to give us our medication before we go out on a killing spree again And…really blast those filthy Klingons who killed Kirk's son, and now we'll make them pay for all the evil deeds they've done, because we're the Federation, and we're number one! So nobody's gonna tell us how to...shake our booty, shake our booty, Make a pancake out of…cooties, those biological terrors that will send those nasty Klingons back to the prehistoric age And then we'll be able to sit around joking about...choosing up sides to smell armpits Book XXI But I have a hunch that…grasshoppers are attempting to take over the world, or at least my shopping cart, Which teems with…the whole state of Delaware falling off the face of the planet. Poor Delawareans, known for their…peculiar mannerisms and polished impressions of forgotten artists, Who graced our days and nights with echoes of... madness that was brought on during the fight with the Klingons. So off we go, on another...Magic Carpet Ride, Sorry for the poor taste but I was blinded by…the way we were, but those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end, however, the ax fell, We were fired and now we are Klingons, or is it the Delawareans who...inducted President Clinton, and enabled the "No use of the word no" act. But that backfired, because...He never used the word himself, For fear it would burn his lips and set the tone for...are forced to read this twaddle If this is a poem I had better phone home to get this thing back on...schedule so I shall retire to a monastery And write no more…sipping wine instead Oh, my head it feels like someone just…screwed the whole thing up, but I will take some aspirin, a bottle of milk And go to bed with...Alf, oh yes Alf, the alien of my dreams!

Well, not usually, but I have poetic license, and I can write what I darn well please, especially In this rubber room of poets crazier than…two frozen biscuits in the middle of the Sahara Desert, Which actually happens a year around...Johnny Angel's birthday on February 24, which makes a lot of sense to me, Because…I am standing on my head in Tucson Arizona Looking for…the top of the world, But alas all I see are…coconut palms and banyan trees, coral sands And…a '56 Ford with four flat tires And in the front seat a…well-used condom and a blow-up doll with The personality of a…wet blanket but who knows This may be…hell or it may be heaven how will we ever know the difference When... there are demons dancing with angels, and the sky is rainbow above the yellow submarine.

Granted, this wouldn't normally be considered that strange except also In the pile was a...striped bass, which breathed the air, and was named Harry. Harry liked cigars and…plucked his banjo. At that moment he was playing Stairway to Heaven, while dueting on his tuba Which played…duet-ing tubas? But while he was at it, he couldn'a had it, because He was…4-F and had the mumps.

Of course, the seals ate too much, and came down with…indigestion, but we're guessing that was from the sardines they had for dessert. So the Coast Guards airlifts a crate of tums to the seals as well as...books teachin' them how to train their minds to overlook discomfort since things are always spillin' out and They can't keep chugging down Tums and Pepto every time a...little acid attacks and that is a pain because They can't play My Country Tis of Thee on their horns and clap their…flippers. The seals would rather make combat with the evil gnomes or even Harry's…Poetry Club, which comes up with stuff like: "Which way is up? Which way is down? How can I escape being eating by a clown?

Heck, they missed the food they had the pleasure of endulging in while kicking things around In South Louisiana while…while they, themselves, were being kicked around and, eventually kicked right into A rubber room located on the outskirts of…Insanityville, where all the loonies like the hang out Book XXVI And talk about...Pardonmepal,Texas. The crapiest town this side of Cesspool Acres, But the best is…the lights never being turned on in the asylum, But then that nasty little kid isaminda took all the...jelly & jam and started singing, "Sam I am! I am Sam!" And soon after that...Neil Diamond poped in To say…how about a Doctor Pepper? It sure beats a case of...Nightingale Blues. So, where are my shoes, the alligator sighs...they're on my feet, they reply, tapping their way to…see Ginger Rogers Anyone fancy a broadway singalong with...Fred Astaire and Bing Cosby, oh heck, Let's throw in Sammy Davis Jr. too, along with the Wizard of Oz munchkins and...a remake combo of "Hair" and "Cats"; as "Oklahoma" plays in the background, Kid Rock and Hank Williams Jr. mix the music and...To a shopkeeper's feet, And promptly recieved a kick to his..seat! As well as a bite from the owner's dog, Pete, who had teeth like…teeth of the dog is what's needed after a night of surprise, so go on down to the…barber shop on the corner and Get your ear, chin and nose hair trimmed by the great...Houdini who clips while he escapes from a straitjacket like wet tortellini And shouts out to all…"You bunch of meanies!", then with a smile, He stares for a while, and...goes to his bag of tricks And waits until Halloween to do...what he has been waiting all year for; Go trick or treating with his mother and her pet…armadillo whose dressed up to be Boba Fett, but he can't leave just yet for his mother announces, Boba, your pants you did…get in a muddle! I know you try to please, but that way, You'll surely freeze, and then...you'll sing, like Donkey did, I'm so ALONE...with no one here beside ME...I need someone to ride me. So a young lady appeared with a sadlle and a whip, And proceeded to...strip right out of her slip with a come hither look on her face And a…depleted bank account that needed some moolah and a smile on her face like a gorilla; She teased and pouted and…waved around a rubber chicken with rabies, And the men all…started whimpering like born-again babies, at the sight of the chicken and the beautiful wench, who...fanned the chicken, oh what a stench, she threw the fowl to the masses And cried…I wanted a broiled rabid chicken, not fried! So she stormed away with...peanut butter and jelly that sure was smelly but she didn't care because she had a big belly Ad would...anger in her eyes, and left her rabid chicken surrounded by flies, While the crowd…fandangoed and fiddly-fied in much the same way as a lullabye, but heavier on the garlic and mayo Oh my...but too much garlic could make you cry, especially when it's been soaked in rye, Book XXVII Until then we can all eat…all the fish we can fry as the barman says here's mud in your eye And hands us a…petrified horse fly.

"What's that Lassie? The old miner is trapped down the pit with only 2 hours air left in it." Gawd, could that dawg communicate! Ours says sh*t all. We were robbed while he snored in the hall, I'd hate…to debate the merits of Lassie and Timmie compared to Rusty and Rinnie not to mention Orca and Shamou, how about you? And if you wish...upon a star. Makes no difference...to dogs who hog the eggnog with their eyes All agog.Why, they even...hang around the mall, wearing crappy band shirts of linkin park, secertly Listening to briteny spears in their... sharkskin suits and elevator boots, passing the kouchie on the left hand side, While taking...a walk through the great divide. I stand and stare...at the riptide that echoes my feelings inside - that ball wasn't offside! The referee's cockeyed! Where's he reside? He should be shanghaied hogtied, whipped with rawhide plied with cyanide freeze-dried and then tie-dyed. His face is…full of fear, his eyes wide as he tries to hide...

Here I am Let the games begin...Taa-rye! Incipient nuclei!" and he'd gonned! and then it dawned - you've been dogonned conned! He only fawned and pretended to bond so he could abscond that golden wand of which he was so fond and he has by now pawned. Oh!

When he gets this bad, we tell him he's bad and then ignore him a tad and Then we...tie him out back where there's a lack of things that are black. Coming over the mat are…a cat in a hat and a rat with a bat. The rat says "Play ball!" and hits a line drive through the dining room hall, While the cat...licks his lips and sharpens his claw tips thinking of the little rips he'll make when the rat trips and flips or maybe not; He could...grab out his heart with the speed of a dart and then go to K-mart for a cart to wheel out his prey for the end of the day He will...get the attack of the munchies, and his cupboard can't be bare, in his lair. For what would he do if the badger and...a goat went to the track to wager? A horse is a horse of course unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed (teehee). But I digress, the badger and goat...put on the same coat and promptly fell into the moat that had been filled with cresote; what a smelly bloke they were When the butterfly...ate all the slime that they had left behind Book XXXXIX In their hurry to find...the treasure. They were told it was beyond measure and that filled them with pleasure. *Sigh* The contests almost through, What are we to do...RedWritingWHO, please don't be so blue.

Calloo, callay, O, happy day...happy birthday to stories, happy birthday to you, you where born in a zoo, with A jaded monkey and a...a kangaroo. But enough of this cheering, get the story back on track, lest we all be fired and put on the rack, so Where are we now, back in the…living room, we were sitting on the sofa drinking our cinammon latté's (well I was) when all of a sudden, The door flew open and in stepped...a dashing young panda with white flakes of dander Who wanted to pander with the salamander about...the commander of the the army. Let's fly away Whee! To sunny Miami! Or maybe...such things as why he could walk on hot coals of fire, but everytime he tried to, he just got his fire singed.

The mushroom's glow was so bright that It attracted the attention of...the local sherriff, who called in his deputies to Do the deed of...love. With a glove from high above. Then he...climbed up on his silver steed, and flew away at amazing speed, until He reached the land of...Bizlflixzit, where a git is not a nitwit, and a bird is not a tit.

When all of a sudden he lost Fred. The poor yeti started to...howl, quite abominably, for he was in great pain, abdominally. I fear it's the worst, his appendix has burst! So off to the doctor's we flew like a flash, and...when in rushed the nurse with a smash and a crash, the instruments went flying, the yeti was crying - in even more pain now - there's a scalpel stuck in his brow! But the doctor...came in, rubbing his chin, and quieted the yeti with a stiff shot of gin. The scalpel came out, with a stitch in its place, and the appendix was taken without leaving a trace. "A Yeti who eats spaghetti, " started doc, "never...saw such a thing, a great snow-ball of string! Then he cleared up the pasta and dealt for Canasta…(of which he was a master) to try to win the fees he'd forgone, fearful of compensation setting in, and the Yeti was soon forlorn cos the doctor performed a -what do you call it? - Caesarean section of the wallet – He should have known…his health insurance, would begin to do the exclusionary dance, so he was stuck with the bill and pain, and decided to rob a train, but The days of Jesse and Cole were gone, so he chose a…buster frame, and bogged off to Spain, but homesick he became and came home to go to prison, Unlike Ronald Biggs who preferred Brazil, until he did get very ill...from a bug bite late one night. He was so angry he...took a little pill, a 'yeti's little helper" if you will, and all his troubles went away, so he took this abominable Prozac every day, But he didn't like the side effects, that...curdled up his brain, so he took another remedy, standing in the rain, but he didn't see the danger, and that was that he'd melt, until his phone did ring and He found that it was…dealt with by an enemy with a name like Mcmenamy, Who wanted to kill him with a…abominable-otamy procedure, but he just responded 'see ya!' and in a flash off he did dash Thus evading his fate e'en though...his mate (for whom he did not wait) took over his estate which He discovered at a later date upon the…gate of the arrival to heaven, when he turned eleven, He died but his...ghost could never rest and so the Yeti felt driven back to his old haunts on Everest where they serve the best spaghetti and jambalayas in the Himalayas and have a high old time drinking vodkas in jodhpurs and Making passes at…the ladies who Hike up that mountain, and...like to drink from that fountain that ensures eternal youth (though I'm not so sure that's the truth) - but Book LXVIII Them lasses have real nice...asses, too bad he was dead, but he had heard it said that There were…girls down in hell, But you never could tell…because of the echo from the well where all the lost souls dwell, and Now the tolling of the bell foretells...a boxing match between the yeti and a, medium-sized giant panda, it's the opening round, The yeti's been downed…he was clowning around and the panda caught him with a left-hander - but He's up off the floor at a count of four, ducking and weaving…then the panda said 'I'm leaving, I've hurt my paw; for I'm a registered S.Com aufor, (no this isn’t a joke, its the way he spoke) - and if I can't type I'll be in distress, So I'm off to tell the Story Mistress" so…the yeti's trainer was so enraged at this stage he roared "Forget the Queensbury rules for that fool" (He was really going round the bend) "Twist his arm off and hit him with the soggy end! That'll teach him to…tell me I need a fur-cut. With that the bunny lopped off and...did a pirouette across the floor then leaped into the air and kicked open the door; in the meantime, the large yeti, while holding a stainless steel machete, put on a large pot of spaghetti Then said with a French flair…zis 'ere spaghetti’s c'est plus bon pour une panda bear - (I was always messin' during my French lesson - and I don't care tho I'm sure it shows!) - but The panda then wrote a yeti-review that really got his goat so...that was all he ever wrote, until the day he discovered the gem buried in the sand, declaring, "My what a wonderful man I am.", in a voice totally...like Vincent Van Gogh, (the artist that cut off his ear, you know?) He was quite good at French Impressionist impressions, and even held special sessions, Where he...said "You say van Go, I say van Goff" So the yeti (whose name was Joe), just called the whole thing off…and left, saying with a leer, "C'mon so, move along, you've no right 'ere." (He didn't say it to their faces, but he admired how 'Dreamland' had covered the bases.) "I surmise the Turner prize will be won this year by…one legged jaded monkey with three eyes. He will burst through the door with…his pants down, swinging around his ankles with no hint of surprise.

Here comes a gopher, coughed up on the sofa, then…wait for this, you’ll laugh - he coughed up a giraffe saying "How's that for a lark, I'm a veritable Noah's ark!" Laugh? I cried kegs until the tears ran down my legs, "You should be on the stage" "Yes…as Willie said, we are all actors upon the stage, unfortunately we are all not on the same page; you picked a fine time to leave me Lucille, so pass me some booze and give me a pill, Cause...never mind the good Will, you only have to look, to see some of us aren't even on the same book, But leaving that aside…let's all take a ride on that famous Magic Bus, to a place where some of us, may get lost in time instead...

Through bleary senses, he'd have to think quick. So he jumped some fences and came upon a...stick, but this stick was in the mouth of a fierce bear. But since Yoda was a Jedi master, he had no fear (even though the bear was drinking bear). Yoda just looked at the bear, and said..."what's thought you've got inside your head? a stick you say, I’m supposed to dread?"
