Photo finish Friday: “Fellini K”

Large cow in parking lot of Fellini Kroger in North Knoxville, TN

Large cow in parking lot of Fellini Kroger in North Knoxville, TN

There’s a ghost in the machine-y
down there at the Fellini.
At hours day or night
you might catch a little fright
next to the freezer door
glass shattered on the floor.
Chicken flying through the air
frozen and landing without a care
down there at the Fellini
a sight just a little seamy.
Come down if you dare,
watch the show beyond compare.
The ghost may try to kill you
or someone may try to shill you
down there at the Fellini
down there at the Fellini.
A man with a two-foot sausage
squeezes it like a little hostage.
A large cow in the parking lot
says, “Take the udder slot”
down there at the Fellini
down there at the Fellini.
It has a Facebook page,
a Google listing all the rage.
Type in Fellini Kroger
or watch the show, if your bolder
down there at the Fellini
Fellini, Fellini,
down there at the Fellini,
Fellini, Fellini.

Photo finish Friday: “Unmentionable”

The tchotchke side of town

The tchotchke side of town

Bosom babe met the elephant
down by the merry-go-round.
Bosom babe asked the elephant
if he’d like to see the town?
Replied the red elephant
lifting his trunk high into the air,
“I’ve seen all I want to see
and much more than you care.”
She wondered what he meant
until she looked up high.
Then she spied her unmentionables:
dainty white against blue sky.
Let this be a lesson to you:
ladies don’t hang around
a shiny red elephant
from the tchotchke side of town.

[Editor’s note: Yes, this poem is Fourth of July suitable (pardon the pun). It mentions the colors red, white, and blue.]

Photo finish Friday: “A penny….”

What did the big penny say to the little penny? What did the little penny say to the big penny?

What did the big penny say to the little penny?
What did the little penny say to the big penny?

Big to little:

A.: A penny for your thoughts.

or

A.: And you thought there was no career advancement.

or

A.: I penny you.

Little to big:

A: Pass the buck.

or

A: So that’s what inflation does.

or

A.: Are you my penny, auntie?

Photo finish Friday: “Honestly”

Ol' Abe and his axe.

Ol’ Abe and his axe.

After years of chopping down trees, Abe came to his first flower garden and, honestly, wasn’t sure what to do. It was the first time in a long time he had had to axe himself a question. So, he stood and stood and stood, and waited for the answer.

Photo finish Friday: “To the point”

The mustache disguise.

The mustache disguise.

In order to escape a man named Stan, who said he only wanted to give her a glass unicorn because it reminded him of her, Stella the Unicorn started wearing a mustache disguise.

Stan said the glass unicorn was only a metaphor, nothing more.

Stella said it was a mixed metaphor, as well as a mixing of plays, which was something Stan didn’t understand.

More’s the pity, Stella thought, because Stan was kind of cute in that lumpish way human males were. But that wasn’t the point.

Stan, unlike her fake mustache, could grow him, but Stella knew it wouldn't lead to anything lasting. It never did with humans.

Photo finish Friday: “Love on the rocks”

Sometimes love is literally on the rocks. Or, at least spelled out on them.

Sometimes love is literally on the rocks. Or, at least spelled out on them.

With something like this you could “fall in love.”

Or, love is just a stone’s throw away.

Photo finish Friday: “Sign of the times”

Would you buy a yard (of anything)  from this "man"?

Would you buy a yard (of anything) from this “man”?

Does this mean that all the best buys have already been “picked clean”?

Photo finish Friday: “Bone to pick”

Unable to go to sleep before a big anatomy test, the veterinary student got up and mapped out the horse bones ... on the side of a horse.
