Good eats

Thanks for the big eats. /

I lick my face to finish. /

Better than a bird.

“No return”

No return

It feels good, Beth said. /

She snapped off dead lily heads, /

dropped them to the ground. /

This evening, I did the same, /

but she did not return.

“The Tong Dynasty”

The Tong Dynasty

King Kong and Godzilla met in a kitchen. /

King Kong heard Godzilla wailin’ and bitchin’. /

“My toast! My toast! I can’t get it out. /

“My toast! My toast! It’s stuck in that snout. /

Every time I reach in sparks fly out. /

Angry it is!” He stomped round about. /

King Kong reached forth with bamboo tongs. /

They grabbed that toast like a pair of thongs. /

Godzilla thanked Kong and went on his way. /

Thus, civilization was saved that day.
