“Limn”

Limn

Street light and shadows, /

the evening limns the ramp, /

silent and waiting.

“No popcorn, no pets”

No popcorn, no pets

No popcorn, no pets,

No baseball, no regrets,

Rapture to heaven

Is no Seven / Eleven.

No Slushies, no Mars bars,

No pizza, no beer bars.

In heaven, the best

Beat their bloody chests

And sing hosanna

At the absence of fauna.

Nothing to make you sneeze

As you fall to your knees.

Fluffy’s on Earth

About to give birth

And if you want us to care,

Put your money there

On the web site line,

So Fluffy will be fine.

When to heaven you go

But your pets are a no-no,

We will watch them with love

While you’re in heaven above.

We atheists who remain

Or Hindus or Jaynes,

Or Jews or Buddhists

Or even the occasional nudist,

We will take care of your pets

So you’ll have no regrets,

No guilt on your soul,

Because you will know

Your Fuffy is fine

As long as your dimes shine.

Saturday silliness: “Unloose the Zeus”

Unloose the Zeus

upon these Olympic games.

Make room for his use;

to leave him out is our shame.

He’s the reason for the season,

be it winter or be it summer.

To ban him is but treason

and nothing short of a bummer.

Unloose the Zeus.

Do it now, I command.

And don your birthday suits,

play the games as originally planned.

Saturday silliness: “Snowpocalypse”

The snowpocalypse has begun. /

We can no longer see the sun. /

To the stores we must run: /

White bread, beer, milk — until done. /

Oh, snow is so fun. /

The snowpocalypse has begun.
