			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>I Piss Poetry</strong><br />
By Tom Miller</p>
<p>© FREDInk Productions</p>
<p>Revised and edited by Tom Miller on<br />
Thursday, January 19, 2006</p>
<p><strong>Sloppy Drunks</strong></p>
<p>There’s a fine line between<br />
Socially lubricated and<br />
Drooling scum bag</p>
<p>I get funnier when I’m drunk<br />
Or at least it seems that way to me<br />
But I’m not a sloppy drunk</p>
<p>Like my friend over here<br />
Mumbling how he’d like to fuck<br />
Every woman at the bar</p>
<p>Including the one with<br />
Three tits and a beard</p>
<p>It’s okay, I tell him<br />
You’re drunk. That’s a good excuse for<br />
Everything you ever do wrong</p>
<p>And tomorrow I’ll ask him<br />
If he remembers<br />
Sucking my dick</p>
<p><strong>One Of Those Days?</strong></p>
<p>I want to fuck a jar of mayonnaise<br />
And shit in the bath tub<br />
I want to roll in a pile of red ants<br />
And sift through the ocean looking for feathers</p>
<p>It’s one of those days<br />
Those days<br />
Those days<br />
You know the kind of day<br />
One of those</p>
<p>I want to put my balls in a glass of vintage wine<br />
And open my eyes with my head in a bucket of bleach<br />
I want to ride my motorcycle into a wall<br />
And fart on a beautiful flower</p>
<p>Sometimes I just want to cry<br />
Alone in a dark room<br />
Cry about everything I fucked up in my life<br />
Cry and regret until my nuts swell up<br />
And then I want to beat off on my face<br />
And cum in a contorted position I’ll never be able<br />
To get out of</p>
<p>I want them to find me like that<br />
Twisted into a knot with feathers and cum on my face<br />
Mayo on my dick, shit in the bath tub<br />
Eyes bleached white, skin dotted with ant bites<br />
One dead flower</p>
<p>A puddle of tears and motorcycle parts</p>
<p>And a glass of vintage wine<br />
That my nuts were in</p>
<p>It’s one of those days<br />
Those days<br />
Those days<br />
You know the kind of day<br />
One of those</p>
<p><strong>On The Road Sucks</strong></p>
<p>When the bums pass me by without asking for change<br />
And say, “Hello, Tom Miller.”</p>
<p>I know I’ve almost made it to the top of the bottom</p>
<p>A few more poems and I’ll have my spot clinched</p>
<p>I never liked,<br />
On the road</p>
<p><strong>Dead Sucker Fish</strong></p>
<p>It was one of those black fish<br />
That suck on the sides of the tank<br />
With their lips </p>
<p>Sucks on the rocks and lets the water<br />
Roll over them suck up and down<br />
Sucking up the muck</p>
<p>When the tank turned green<br />
And the orange fish died<br />
The white one was still going<br />
But really really slowly</p>
<p>The black suckerfish seemed the same<br />
Just sucking it— but I noticed<br />
It was turning gray</p>
<p>A couple of weeks later when the<br />
Apartment started to smell, I asked my<br />
Roommate, Why don’t you do something?</p>
<p>Look, the white one’s dead now and the black<br />
One’s turning yellow.</p>
<p>Fish love bacteria, he said. They’ll be okay.<br />
The black fish kept sucking but it didn’t move very much<br />
Especially when the air filter gave out</p>
<p>A week later, the water was green, the black fish was<br />
White, but its eyes were still open, looking…<br />
Looking for something, I don’t know what</p>
<p>Maybe an air filter</p>
<p>The suckerfish is dead, I said, all the fish are dead.<br />
I’ll take care of it soon, said my roommate.</p>
<p>When the mosquitoes began to breed<br />
I moved out</p>
<p>I think of the suckerfish often. Think of how much<br />
It sucked to be that fish. We’re all that fish,<br />
Aren’t we.</p>
<p><strong>Violets Growing in Scum</strong></p>
<p>The scum is a cool green Fiesta-ware plate<br />
There is one violet in the center<br />
Somehow alive and trying to sing a song<br />
Trying to sing Vivaldi in the green scum<br />
Standing proudly</p>
<p>I have survived even this, she sings<br />
A butterfly lands on the violet and plants an egg<br />
I want to step on them both but I don’t<br />
Things take care of themselves</p>
<p>The butterfly drops into the green scum<br />
And flutters around until it pulls itself under<br />
And soon after, the flower wilts and sinks<br />
To the bottom</p>
<p>The scum is a cool green Fiesta-ware plate<br />
There is one violet in the center<br />
Nobody can see it anymore</p>
<p><strong>Rebel With Menopause</strong></p>
<p>I want to go to city hall<br />
And turn off the power main<br />
Right in the middle of a big meeting<br />
As if it will make any difference<br />
I want to go to city hall<br />
And take one screw out<br />
Every day for the next ten years<br />
As if anyone will notice</p>
<p>I want to go to city hall<br />
And plant marijuana seeds<br />
In the garden and call the police to<br />
Arrest all the commissioners<br />
I want to go to city hall<br />
Into the mayor’s office and pretend<br />
I’m Shelly Winters and start singing<br />
Show tunes until they come for me</p>
<p>I want to go to city hall<br />
Wearing only a cock ring and a<br />
Clothespin— you guess where I put<br />
The clothespin<br />
I want to go to city hall<br />
Up to the high security doors to the<br />
Meeting rooms and bang on them and<br />
Scream, “Let me in my building!”</p>
<p>I want to go to city hall<br />
And tie tampons in everyone’s hair<br />
Tampons soaked in blood from<br />
Manatees and Florida panthers<br />
I want to go to city hall<br />
With a protest sign that says, “I<br />
Protest!” And I want to shout, “I protest!<br />
I can’t take it anymore!”</p>
<p>I want to go to city hall<br />
And tell the media that I’m protesting<br />
And when they ask me what I’m protesting<br />
I’ll tell them, “Nothing. I’m just protesting.”</p>
<p><strong>Futility</strong></p>
<p>A snail was making its way<br />
Across the sidewalk<br />
Ever so slowly</p>
<p>And I watched for an hour<br />
The snail making its way<br />
Across the sidewalk<br />
Ever so slowly</p>
<p>And when the snail<br />
Finally made its way<br />
Across the sidewalk<br />
Ever so slowly</p>
<p>I picked it up and put it<br />
Back where it started from</p>
<p><strong>The Rules of Love</strong></p>
<p>Love is the most important thing<br />
In the world</p>
<p>But there are some rules to abide by<br />
To properly love</p>
<p>1.	Don’t make love with your friends. Friends<br />
Are for friendship. Lovers should be people you<br />
Can easily get rid of.</p>
<p>2.	Don’t say, “I love you.” It will ruin everything.<br />
Instead say, “Would you like to fuck?”</p>
<p>3.	When making love to your lover, be sure to<br />
Never tell them who you are imagining them to be<br />
When you’re having an orgasm.</p>
<p>4.	Try to flirt with other people only when your<br />
Lover isn’t watching you.</p>
<p>5.	When you cheat, try to keep it a secret so your<br />
Lover won’t dump you. You don’t want to lose all that<br />
Free money.</p>
<p>6.	Make sure you only steal thing your lover might<br />
Not miss. Don’t take all the bills in the purse, just take<br />
A few. This works better if your lover comes home drunk.</p>
<p>7.	Always make eye contact when you lie, and don’t<br />
Blink too much. Sell the lie.</p>
<p>8.	If things become so routine that you plan on<br />
Getting married, make sure you buy a ring that looks<br />
Expensive but really isn’t. a used ring is best, or a ring<br />
Stolen from your last lover.</p>
<p>9.	Don’t masturbate when your lover is around. You don’t<br />
Want your lover to know you need to get off without them<br />
Sometimes… lots of times.</p>
<p>10.	Remember the golden rule of love: What’s important is<br />
What people believe; not the truth.</p>
<p><strong>Whiskey Can Turn Anyone<br />
Into Someone You Can Fuck</strong></p>
<p>It usually only takes a shot or two<br />
But sometimes a bottle will not do</p>
<p><strong><br />
I Was Looking For You in the Library</strong></p>
<p>I checked under butterflies<br />
And planets and art</p>
<p>I looked in the science section<br />
And checked in the literature isle</p>
<p>I tried to find you under poetry<br />
But you were not there</p>
<p>I was sure you were a flower</p>
<p>I tried law and sports and<br />
All the books on chess</p>
<p>You were nowhere to be found<br />
Were you hiding from me?</p>
<p>Why?<br />
Why when I love you so much?</p>
<p>I went through Tolstoy, Einstein, Beethoven,<br />
Faust, the Bible, every periodical and magazine</p>
<p>Jung, Robert Frost, Rimbaud, I almost thought<br />
I saw you in Rimbaud but I was mistaken</p>
<p>Just as I had given up hope, I found you there<br />
Where I should have looked from the beginning</p>
<p>Crystal Clear: The Story of Diamonds<br />
By McKay</p>
<p>I haven’t returned it yet<br />
And the overdue notices keep coming</p>
<p><strong>Live at the Downtown Plaza</strong></p>
<p>After building and rebuilding the<br />
Downtown Plaza, they finally got it right</p>
<p>There’s a nice canopy over the stage<br />
And every Friday, a local band plays</p>
<p>But my favorite show is<br />
The two bums who sleep on the stage</p>
<p>Every night under their piss soaked quilts<br />
Two bums sleep. It should win the Tony</p>
<p>It’s so real, almost like they’re not acting<br />
Almost like two people trying to escape</p>
<p>Hell for real</p>
<p>Mostly nobody comes to the show because<br />
It runs so late and so long</p>
<p>But I’ve caught it several times and there’s<br />
No better performance in town</p>
<p>Not at the Hippodrome or the college theater<br />
Not even at the community playhouse</p>
<p>All that stuff is fake and the prices for the tickets<br />
Are so expensive</p>
<p>But this show is so real and free to watch<br />
Sometimes they turn in their sleep but mostly</p>
<p>They just lie there. It’s so avant-garde, I can’t stand it!</p>
<p>I’m going to invite all my friends and we’ll have<br />
Dinner and cocktails on the patio, watching</p>
<p>The two bums who sleep on the stage</p>
<p>Hell, these guys don’t even bow, they just<br />
Get up and walk around asking for money</p>
<p><strong>The Rat Had a Finger in its Mouth</strong></p>
<p>This hairy wet rat<br />
Came running by<br />
With a finger in its<br />
Mouth</p>
<p>Look at that rat, my<br />
Friend said, it’s got a<br />
Finger</p>
<p>A human finger<br />
Hanging out of its<br />
Mouth</p>
<p>How about that, I said,<br />
I’ve never seen such a<br />
Thing before</p>
<p>The rat had a<br />
Finger in its mouth<br />
And it came running by</p>
<p>Across the street and<br />
Down into the sewer<br />
Drain</p>
<p>Finger and all</p>
<p>I wonder whose finger<br />
It was, I said</p>
<p>Yeah, said my friend,<br />
Me too.</p>
<p><strong>Fight the Poem</strong></p>
<p>This thing almost wouldn’t let me write it<br />
It resisted with every ounce of strength</p>
<p>Throwing punches and kicks<br />
I was swollen and bleeding, trying</p>
<p>To get the motherfucker down<br />
On the page for the one two three count</p>
<p>Probably the baddest poem of all<br />
It must have been in training for months</p>
<p>To give me such a fight— jab uppercut right cross<br />
I stabbed with my pen hammered with my</p>
<p>Typewriter crunched and shimmied with my<br />
Word processor but the poem dodged</p>
<p>Flanked sidestepped turned played<br />
Rope-a-dope cussed and danced and stung</p>
<p>Round four I had the cut man open my eyes<br />
Blood poured down my face</p>
<p>This was one tough sonovabitch! But I had<br />
Seen all its fights and studied the moves</p>
<p>I knew what was coming and just when the<br />
Chips were down and it tried to clock me</p>
<p>For the knockout, I slipped around the blow<br />
And cold cocked it under the chin</p>
<p>It was dazed, and a one two flourish with a<br />
Screaming left hook dropped it to the mat</p>
<p>One two three… the crowd was on its feet<br />
Four five six… the shouts and cat calls echoed</p>
<p>Seven eight nine… get up! Shouted the corner man<br />
Don’t let this pussy have his day in the sun</p>
<p>Ten. It was knocked out cold.<br />
I had won another poem.</p>

<p>by tom miller</p>
<p>“Never confuse the author with the speaker.” &#8212; Professor Clay Arnold</p>
<p><strong>once</strong><br />
there was a maggot<br />
born with human<br />
intelligence</p>
<p>he wanted to be<br />
a butterfly, moth, frog<br />
anything but a<br />
fly</p>
<p>the maggot turned and<br />
writhed and turned writhed and<br />
pupated into a<br />
fly</p>
<p><strong>i get weird</strong><br />
on beer<br />
queer</p>
<p><strong>texas hole’m</strong></p>
<p>play poker? asked stan.<br />
sure, said dan.<br />
stan anteed, mounted,<br />
buttfucked stan<br />
in his man can hole</p>
<p><strong>when the drugs wore off</strong><br />
after i got the hair out of my mouth<br />
wiped the swastika off my forehead<br />
with soap and water</p>
<p>iced the bruises<br />
soothed the fresh tattoo on my ass<br />
that said, ENTER HERE</p>
<p>pulled the silver chopstick<br />
out of my urethra and the shampoo<br />
bottle out of my asshole</p>
<p>i thought how great this might have been<br />
with me and at least one other person</p>
<p><strong>what do you get when you cross an octopus?</strong><br />
a blessed octopus.</p>
<p><strong>love</strong></p>
<p>a roach came out of the darkness<br />
to get a lick of something i left<br />
melting on the kitchen counter</p>
<p>i smacked it with the palm of my hand<br />
instead of a rolled up newspaper<br />
it deserved that kind of respect</p>
<p><strong>love</strong></p>
<p>must have puked the most violently<br />
on that colt-45 than any other beer.<br />
goddamn good beer.</p>
<p><strong>love</strong></p>
<p>he was so beautiful, i offered a cigarette<br />
bought him a beer, he looked into my eyes<br />
can i read some of your poems? yes, i said.</p>
<p>wow, this is sick, beautiful, the extremes.<br />
we must have talked for hours. i’m a musician.<br />
really? i’m a musician too. i thought, i could<br />
be with him.</p>
<p>well, he said, i gotta go meet my lady. thanks<br />
for all the poems.</p>
<p>he went over to the other side of the coffee<br />
shop and sat down with the most beautiful<br />
guy i have ever seen.</p>
<p><strong>betty’s sweaty lip</strong></p>
<p>a girl named betty’s<br />
lip was sweaty</p>
<p><strong>the one</strong></p>
<p>i had been so lonely for so long<br />
and there was this beautiful girl<br />
sitting at the coffee shop</p>
<p>i thought,<br />
she’s not going to have me<br />
so there’s nothing to lose</p>
<p>i went over to her<br />
tried to say the most polite<br />
thing i could possibly imagine</p>
<p>hey fuckbitch, how’d you like me<br />
to jam my snot-stick in your dirty<br />
stinking nasty yellow yank?</p>
<p>she replied,<br />
do you have a place we can go?<br />
my god, i had found the one.</p>
<p><strong>good eating</strong></p>
<p>it went down good<br />
in three or four minutes</p>
<p>it came up bad<br />
in three or four days</p>
<p>in three or four ways</p>
<p>i barfed and shat<br />
and burped and farted</p>
<p>that’s good eating!</p>
<p><strong>the rose</strong><br />
has been abused<br />
literature has spread her</p>
<p>so thin as to invisible<br />
her flavor make<br />
the rose</p>
<p>coined, a phrase turned<br />
as a leaf, her much maligned companion<br />
scientists are making decisions</p>
<p>of her color, her fragrance<br />
that bees notice the absence<br />
of and thus begin to vanish</p>
<p>the rose clichéd&#8211;you gave me this<br />
piece of shit? how much was it?<br />
ten dollars? we could have bought</p>
<p>beans and rice for a week! the rose<br />
if you loved me<br />
you would be gray</p>
<p>you would die the instant<br />
eyes set upon you<br />
with only thorns to</p>
<p>remind me of your ghost<br />
by pain and blood as<br />
love demands</p>
<p><strong>rebel</strong></p>
<p>i swallow my gum<br />
always have<br />
i dye my hair<br />
the wrong color of blond<br />
big bird yellow<br />

<p><strong>marriage</strong></p>
<p>(do you take his woman?)<br />
goodbye drugs, booze, frequent and arbitrary sexual<br />
encounters with men, women, men dressed as women, and<br />
all the crack that let to it, the freedom to burn everything<br />
you cook and leave it on the stove for the cat and the roaches,<br />
the internet porn, the absence of reason, spending money<br />
that does not exist on things which do not exist, the<br />
guy talk, the girl talk, the belief in no god, every man<br />
for himself, half of everything, the position of the<br />
toilet seat, TV dinners, the band, the art, the poems,<br />
smoking, up all night with the DVD player, jerking off,<br />
farting, snoring, a bed to call your own, the enjoyment<br />
and solitude of puking alone, washing dishes wearing only<br />
a tie, the meaning of the universe, crying in the fetal<br />
position, the feeling of disgust at pink dirty drooling babies<br />
and their endless shrieking, being right, choosing your<br />
own clothing for the party: a shirt with cum dried on it,<br />
gym shorts with cum dried on it, socks with cum dried<br />
on it, shoes with cum dried on it&#8230;<br />
(yes, i’ll take his woman.)</p>
<p><strong>squeeze out another&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>i think i can squeeze out another,<br />
i said</p>
<p>i was talking about a poem<br />
the metaphor is fairly obvious</p>
<p>this is the poem<br />
if i’d have written it on toilet paper</p>
<p>it couldn’t have been more perfect<br />
unless i flushed it</p>
<p>i’m not that good.<br />
his poems were crap</p>
<p>i knew this poet once<br />
who i didn’t like</p>
<p>his poems were crap<br />
crap about his girlfriend</p>
<p>crap about his life<br />
crap about his poetry</p>
<p>and i said,<br />
“dude, your poems are crap.”</p>
<p>and he said, “dude, my<br />
girlfriend is crap,</p>
<p>my life is crap,<br />
my poetry is crap.</p>
<p>what did you expect?”</p>
<p>i re-read the poem<br />
i was right about me.</p>
<p>i was exactly right.</p>
<p><strong>the result</strong></p>
<p>i was the result of<br />
drunk fucking</p>
<p><strong>little things</strong></p>
<p>it’s all little things,<br />
they say.</p>
<p>they’re always talking,<br />
giving advice ~they~</p>
<p>the little things<br />
freak me out</p>
<p>it’s easier<br />
to process a bomb</p>
<p>about to go off<br />
under my seat</p>
<p>then worry about<br />
keeping my job</p>
<p>because a customer didn’t get<br />
enough ice in their cocktail</p>
<p>i want to throw the last 40 years<br />
into the dumpster and start anew</p>
<p>but termites are eating my work<br />
it’s all throwing itself away slowly</p>
<p>without any help from me.<br />
who is this going to entertain?</p>
<p>it’s all little things,<br />
they say</p>
<p>i’m going to find them<br />
and I’m going to kill them</p>
<p><strong>i’m<br />
trying to scream</strong><br />
louder than the folks next door</p>
<p>they play war<br />
and yell all night long</p>
<p>they love me because<br />
i don’t care<br />
I’ve seen war<br />
been in it–doing it now</p>
<p>yelling is the least of my worries<br />
they yell because some computer warrior</p>
<p>got fragged</p>
<p>oops.</p>
<p>shit.</p>
<p>AHHHHHHHH!</p>
<p>i dig in the cat litter<br />
with my slotted spoon</p>
<p>dig out clumps of shit<br />
and put it in a bag</p>
<p>so it doesn’t smell.<br />
this is a battle</p>
<p>a battle I will win<br />
no matter your religion</p>
<p>i have a poem for you</p>
<p>you’ll love this one</p>
<p>it’s not about you but<br />
you’re in it.</p>
<p>bland… boring… bad form…<br />
this poem isn’t going to make it</p>
<p>into the so-called poetry magazines.<br />
why? don’t worry… it’s not your fault,</p>
<p>it’s me.</p>
<p>too many contractions.<br />
like a woman birthing</p>
<p>something she didn’t want<br />
to begin with.</p>
<p>they have no taste for the unborn<br />
ugly,</p>
<p>oh, there it is…<br />
find me a toilet or a</p>
<p>trash dumpster to get it<br />
out of my soul.</p>
<p>no, they don’t want to judge your<br />
unborn, born, thing nobody wanted.</p>
<p>it’s for madonna.<br />
she’ll love it.</p>
<p>and the cat barfs,<br />
wet, ugly, and on something precious.</p>
<p><strong>cat barf</strong></p>
<p>i heard<br />
a grumph<br />
two or three<br />
grumphs</p>
<p>then<br />
spat</p>
<p>wet<br />
gross</p>
<p>cat<br />
barf</p>
<p>found its way<br />
on something<br />
Precious</p>
<p>now, the video won’t play<br />
anymore</p>
<p>memories<br />
got barfed on<br />
gone forever</p>
<p>i’ll miss you,<br />
but that’s how stupid and ugly</p>
<p>and quick,<br />
these things go</p>
<p>my cat is a really good cat<br />
she just does it just like nature intended</p>
<p>with no regrets.<br />
nothing natural says, ‘i’m sorry.’</p>
<p><strong>church</strong></p>
<p>i came home<br />
took off my socks</p>
<p>the next morning<br />
i went to put them on</p>
<p>they were soaked<br />
with pee</p>
<p>my cat,<br />
one of the two</p>
<p>peed on my socks</p>
<p>why?</p>
<p>i thought about it<br />
picked up my socks</p>
<p>smelled them and said,<br />
“jesus christ!”</p>
<p>i said, “what the fuck?”<br />
and i said, “holy jesus!”</p>
<p>threw the socks<br />
into the closet with the other</p>
<p>dirty laundry.</p>
<p>i have a place for this.<br />
i’ve maintained a sanctuary</p>
<p>for my cats to pee in.<br />
here is the lesson:</p>
<p>no matter how kept the sanctuary,<br />
pets will find their own way to pray.<br />
i miss sleeping with you<br />
i miss holding you<br />
i miss kissing you<br />
i miss touching you<br />
i miss spending time with you<br />
i miss talking with you<br />
i miss listening to music with you<br />
i miss I miss I miss</p>
<p>i missed again.</p>
<p><strong>you’re psychic!</strong></p>
<p>he said,<br />
“you’re wearing a bonnet in your hair”</p>
<p>“no i’m not,”</p>
<p>“it’s green and is tied in a knot”</p>
<p>“no it isn’t”</p>
<p>“sure it is”</p>
<p>“no, really. look at my hair. there’s no bonnet in it”</p>
<p>“and it’s green”</p>
<p>“okay”</p>
<p>“yes, it’s green, and it’s tied in a knot.”</p>
<p>“sure, whatever”</p>
<p>“thank you, ladies and gentlemen, thank you”</p>
<p>(audience applause)</p>
<p><strong>no dracula, just blood</strong></p>
<p>my cats know how to love me<br />
better than you</p>
<p>i’m bleeding</p>
<p>i just got home from a show</p>
<p>you weren’t there<br />
that was expected</p>
<p>everything you do<br />
is a known quantity.</p>
<p>you’re old math</p>
<p>i don’t know if i poked myself with a guitar string<br />
or if your teeth got under my skin</p>
<p>either way</p>
<p>there’s no song, no dracula,<br />
just blood, cats, the end of the show</p>
<p>that makes me sad</p>
<p>sad and angry</p>
<p>angry and poetic</p>
<p>poetic and happy</p>
<p>look!<br />
another poem!</p>
<p>i should thank you for that, but so many<br />
people who I thought loved me,</p>
<p>have become poems i never ever<br />
want to read again</p>
<p><strong>dropping in<br />
to say hello</strong></p>
<p>hello.</p>
<p>now that that’s over with,<br />
goodbye.</p>
<p><strong>everything is a lie</strong></p>
<p>he had something to say<br />
and he said it</p>
<p>it came out differently<br />
than what he was thinking</p>
<p>but at least it was out there.<br />
the other guy heard it</p>
<p>but what he heard was<br />
an interpretation of what was said</p>
<p>which was not exactly what was meant<br />
and he interpreted it wrong</p>
<p>as he said, “i understand”<br />
the other guy didn’t believe him</p>
<p>and he was right. so was it a lie?<br />
nobody knew</p>
<p>but at least something was out there<br />
in one form or another</p>
<p><strong>Unidentified Flying Object</strong></p>
<p>These little things bother me.<br />
Like for example, the fact that</p>
<p>What is happening happens differently<br />
Than how it did.</p>
<p>Like if a butterfly goes by and you see<br />
A bird instead, who’s to say what it really was?</p>
<p>Maybe when you saw it, it became a bird.<br />
I’m pretty sure it was a butterfly, but I</p>
<p>Didn’t look so carefully. It might have been<br />
A cricket. Did anyone see a cricket?</p>
<p>Another little thing that bothers me,<br />
Is when you tell me you’ll be there if you can make it.</p>
<p>That leaves ambiguity and if you don’t show up,<br />
I can’t complain because you obviously couldn’t make it.</p>
<p>If you did show up, then you made it. Either way,<br />
You win. I think it was a butterfly.</p>
<p>At least when I was looking at it. Maybe it was<br />
Everything we all saw, a bird and a cricket too.</p>
<p>Another little thing that bothers me is when<br />
I want to meet someone. If our eyes lock, I</p>
<p>Look away. It’s my shyness. I’m thinking the<br />
Other person will notice my shyness and come</p>
<p>Over to talk to me. What actually happens is they<br />
See me turn away and figure I don’t like them.</p>
<p>That’s the total opposite of how I feel. There’s<br />
No way it was a cricket. No fucking way.</p>
<p>Or when I feel good but I just don’t show it on my face.<br />
Somebody passes me and says, “Smile!” which makes me angry.</p>
<p>Sometimes I don’t smile when I feel good.<br />
Sometimes I smile when I’m sad.</p>
<p>Do you know how lonely it is knowing you’ll<br />
Never see anything exactly the way someone else does?</p>
<p>How lonely it is that what you thought was love<br />
Might just not be love? It might be a UFO.</p>
<p>That what is happening happens differently<br />
Than how it did?</p>
<p>How did it happen?</p>
<p>Something flew by.</p>
<p>I don’t know what it was.</p>
<p><strong>Fuck Fish</strong></p>
<p>I took some pills<br />
I’m not a genius</p>
<p>I took pills like many of the great writers<br />
I’m not a great writer</p>
<p>I took pills like the greatest rock-n-rollers<br />
They died… I didn’t… I’m not a super star</p>
<p>I can’t River Phoenix or Jimi Hendrix or<br />
Janis Joplin or Jim Morrison</p>
<p>I’m doomed to be an interesting ordinary<br />
Who takes pills to forget he’s not going to change the world</p>
<p>Yes, many who are great didn’t take pills<br />
And they’re more important than me too</p>
<p>So now it’s between me and God<br />
Whom I don’t believe in</p>
<p>I can’t do anything with conviction<br />
Isn’t that right, God? I know you’re listening</p>
<p>I feel pain and pleasure and remorse and passion<br />
I have all the proper tools to be somebody</p>
<p>So why am I here? Why isn’t this poem any good?<br />
Why do I use the word “I” so much?</p>
<p>Why did I pop out of the womb at a particular time<br />
In a particular place with a particular nose?</p>
<p>I am a fish, like many fish, some get caught<br />
Some are in the news, some swim the wrong way</p>
<p>Who really cares in the end? I, I, I do. Me, me, me!<br />
Fish don’t take pills. Fuck fish. Fuck them!</p>
<p><strong>The Little Girl Who Was Really Mean</strong></p>
<p>There once was a little girl who was really mean. One day, she was playing in the yard when her mother shouted from the house, “Get in here! It’s dinner time!”</p>
<p>But the little girl, who was really mean, didn’t want to eat dinner. She wanted to play in the yard. So she went over to her mother and stabbed her in the brain with a rusty screwdriver.</p>
<p>The little girl, who was really mean, continued playing in the yard. She was playing with her cat by pulling on its tail and smashing it with a rock. “This is fun,” the little girl who was really mean said.</p>
<p>A little while later, her father came outside to see why the little girl who was really mean hadn’t come in for dinner. He saw his dead wife, and the bloody cat, and exclaimed, “God damn, bitch. You are a really mean little cunt! I don’t know where you learn this kind of fucking behavior.” Then he grabbed her by the hair, dragged her to the dinner table and jammed a leg of lamb in her face until her jaw broke off.</p>
<p>“I hope this teaches you a lesson,” said her father. “And the lesson is this: If you kill your mother and beat the cat with a rock, I’m going to shove a leg of lamb down your fucking throat until your jaw breaks off.”</p>
<p>And after the little girl who was really mean healed from her injuries, she shot her dad in his sleep and anally raped his dead corpse with a pitchfork.</p>
<p>And the moral of the story is: There are a lot of people in the world who are totally fucked up and they are written about in the mainstream news media, much to the horror of normal ordinary people who are just trying to make a living and enjoy their lives without pain and suffering.</p>
<p><strong>Poem Number Three Hundred and Seventy-Three Thousand Four Hundred and Sixty-Four</strong></p>
<p>I’ve written many poems<br />
Of this you can be sure</p>
<p>And most of them were failures<br />
And many of them poor</p>
<p>But still, I keep on writing<br />
For the best is yet to come</p>
<p>When I get to number three hundred and seventy-three thousand four hundred and sixty-five, hopefully I’ll nail one.</p>
<p><strong>Poem About The Nanotube</strong></p>
<p>The nanotube, a tiny thing<br />
No poem is written for it</p>
<p>And as I like to lead the herd<br />
My nanotube poem now is word</p>
<p>For there’s no other poet who has<br />
Dared to write of nanotubes</p>
<p>I stand alone in pantheon of<br />
Lesser lame-ass poet boobs</p>
<p>I’m proud to say my poem about<br />
These tiny worthwhile mini-straws</p>
<p>Is with no doubt a masterpiece<br />
That may elicit rude guffaws</p>
<p>To slight me, you may feel the need<br />
Though quite a tiny need it be</p>
<p>Apply a molecule of lube<br />
I’ll pass it through my nanotube</p>
<p><strong>Fuck Poem</strong></p>
<p>I like to fuck<br />
And fuck I do</p>
<p>Often and with<br />
Wild abandon</p>
<p>All I need is a<br />
Magnum condom</p>
<p>Roll it over my<br />
Shaft of wisdom</p>
<p>Then into your<br />
Void I go</p>
<p>In and out<br />
Ew, is that blood?</p>
<p>Barfing, to the<br />
John I run</p>
<p>You must be on your<br />
Peri-uhd.</p>
<p><strong>gurilla tacktics</strong></p>
<p>sometimes, you have to squeeze it out<br />
like a sponge, or the love from two people<br />
who pretend to be with each other</p>
<p>i can’t fuss with kites or puppets,<br />
or anything attached with strings to<br />
god, or whatever is controlling the weather</p>
<p>i walk under my own power in my own way<br />
from here to there or side to side going<br />
nowhere or somewhere as i see fit.</p>
<p>sometimes, you have to let your fingers go<br />
and do what they want, especially if you forget how to snap,<br />
clap, gesture, type, or fuss with strings on<br />
kites and puppets. sometimes you have to let fingers<br />
be fingers.</p>
<p>there was a really clever rat once, who<br />
got into the candy. if we put it in a box, he<br />
opened the box. if we taped up the box, he<br />
chewed right through it.</p>
<p>i admired his conviction even after i snapped<br />
a photograph of him in the trap with his head<br />
slammed shut forever. in death, he was as beautiful<br />
as in life. haven’t seen any rats since, and that<br />
makes me sad.</p>
<p>isn’t there enough candy for everyone?</p>
<p>sometimes, what is required is abandonment of<br />
the very idea of purpose. why do anything? if you<br />
think deeply on this, there is no reason. and that is the reason:<br />
to give you something to do before you realize everything<br />
you do has no purpose. so let go of purpose and do something.</p>
<p>letting go can be a powerful reminder that you<br />
don’t have to hold on. if you didn’t know that, you’d be<br />
stuck there, like that kitten in the<br />
hang-in-there-baby poster, which by the way,<br />
is a photograph in which the kitten will never, and<br />
can never, let go.</p>
<p>i’m pretty sure the kitten from that photograph is dead.<br />
but the memory lives on. you can get this poster in<br />
the mall somewhere. which one? i don’t know.<br />
i bet craig’s list has a few. that guy, craig, has so<br />
many things to sell.</p>
<p>sometimes, gurilla tacktics are called for. actions<br />
unexpected, startling explosions least expected,<br />
like in a fishtank, or a butterfly garden. i’ve never known<br />
a butterfly to expect an explosion. and fish, well let’s just say<br />
they have no idea what’s coming, and never did.</p>
<p>i wonder about fish. if i could feed all the flying termites<br />
in my house, the ones eating my poems, to fish, i would.<br />
but i could never keep fish going for more than a month.<br />
i don’t think about fish much, and prefer them outside<br />
the realm of my inaction. fish are as loyal as the food you provide.</p>
<p>this is why cats eat fish. they’re just like each other. fish<br />
are like cats and cats like fish. it’s a perfect circle. you can<br />
see an order in a relationship like this. i never saw any order<br />
in any of my relationships. cats, i can deal with. food, water<br />
and a place to shit. that’s all they need. cats are like me. i like cats.</p>
<p>don’t worry, it’s almost over. i was just letting go, taking a ride on<br />
a track that appears as you roll over it, never knowing which direction<br />
it may lead. it’s a fun ride. but like all fun rides, there’s a time you<br />
have to get out of the vehicle and wait in another line for another ride.</p>
<p>isn’t that right, cat? fish? butterfly? rat? puppet? kite?</p>
<p>when i let go of the string, the kite flies away and the puppet<br />
falls asleep.</p>
<p>but if you think this is the end,<br />
you got another thing coming.</p>
<p><strong>today i decided,<br />
i’m going to get you back</strong></p>
<p>i don’t care if you don’t love me<br />
or even like me</p>
<p>i’m going to get you back<br />
anyway</p>
<p>it’s not up to you anymore.<br />
it’s a decision i made.</p>
<p>now, how to do it:<br />
first, i’m going to inform you</p>
<p>i’m having you back,<br />
you’ll just have to accept it, and deal.</p>
<p>second, lunch and flowers.<br />
you can’t beat lunch and flowers when a decision has been made.</p>
<p>third, i’m going to make you feel good.<br />
whatever it takes: money, hugs, a big dick in the ass</p>
<p>whatever! i’ve got it handled. if i have to push an old lady<br />
in front of a moving vehicle, i’m having you back.</p>
<p>i’ll kill children in a schoolyard with a shotgun if i have to.<br />
you’re coming with me, bitch.</p>
<p>this was meant to be, asshole!<br />
cocksucker! most people just let love die.</p>
<p>i’m going to beat on love’s chest, cut love’s throat open<br />
and make it breathe with a straw, i’ll electrocute it, resuscitate it,<br />
blow life into it, WILL IT back from the grave.</p>
<p>i’m not a quitter. i’m taking a stand. the love we had will<br />
live again, and there’s nothing you can do about it, you piece of shit!</p>
<p>you dickhead. you asshole. you mindless soulless rotting garbage<br />
the cat threw up and the dog ate!</p>
<p>i’ll get you back so we can re-live the glory days<br />
when you lied and said you loved me, and i believed it.</p>
<p><strong>i got the fire.<br />
ever get the fire?</strong></p>
<p>it’s so warm.<br />
it’s so good.</p>
<p>when you have the fire,<br />
everything is in order.</p>
<p>you can see a path.<br />
you can find a way.</p>
<p>fire illuminates<br />
the path and the way.</p>
<p>fire warms the walk and<br />
ignites the soul.</p>
<p>let me tell you about fire.</p>
<p>imagine something from nothing<br />
that glows red, yellow, and white</p>
<p>a ghost that beckons you,<br />
‘stare into me and lose yourself’</p>
<p>it kills and comforts<br />
it controls and is controlled<br />
it cleanses and destroys<br />
it is the closest thing to love</p>
<p>i got the fire<br />
ever get the fire?</p>
<p>it’s so warm.<br />
it’s so good.</p>

<p>to the people who say i can’t write a beautiful poem<br />
fuck you!</p>
<p>you don’t know what beauty is.</p>
<p>when you see a guy like me, cursing, talking about poop, vaginas,<br />
pets that die, when you see a guy like me in a vulgar display</p>
<p>talking about my dick or sucking dick, or sticking a pumpkin up my ass,<br />
when you see a guy like me</p>
<p>drunk and puking and high, and maybe even on crack, rolling in the glory of all that is foul like a pig rolls in mud as if he’s cleansing himself at the spa</p>
<p>instead of preparing to be bacon at redneck farmer brown’s holy table of God, when you see a guy like me setting a bible on fire or hosting a local crucifixion</p>
<p>a guy who paints with his ass and writes poems about roaches<br />
a guy who’s possibly insane or drunk or a genius or maybe just pissed off</p>
<p>a guy who can shoot 151 without blinking and ask for a match<br />
a guy who can suck his own dick and ask for seconds</p>
<p>if this isn’t a guy who can write a beautiful poem, who is?</p>

like the 5 ways of love or 10 things to<br />
bring you happiness or how to get rich<br />
in 12 easy steps or 20 steps to stop smoking<br />
or stop drinking or 50 things your mother<br />
should have told you or 100 things i learned<br />
from watching mr. rogers neighborhood or<br />
10,000 things to do with your dick.</p>
<p>that last one doesn’t exist yet but i’m<br />
damn sure the one to write it.</p>
<p><strong>in twenty minutes, my teeth will be whiter</strong></p>
<p>i got one of those kits to brighten my smile<br />
from the green gnarled amphibian thing i<br />
do with my mouth which i think is smiling to<br />
what the beautiful people do with their mouth<br />
that looks like smiling but is actually frowning<br />
on the inside</p>
<p>i hope i can get depressed enough about myself<br />
to make this thing work so i can have a better chance<br />
of getting laid. now if only they made a beer-belly<br />
kit and a self-esteem restoring cream and a penis<br />
reduction pump. yeah, i said it.</p>
<p>then maybe i can find one of those pearly white smiling<br />
depressed beautiful people and convince them their<br />
value won’t go down if i jam my dick in their ass.</p>
<p>i tell ya, fuck these people! just fuck ‘em!</p>
<p><strong>there’s one thing, beyond all measure</strong><br />
that i love more than anything else and that thing<br />
is finding a roach broken in half in a cup of coffee<br />

like to feel emotion.</p>

<p>if it turns out that<br />
i’m not a very good private investigator,<br />
i refuse to hire me&#8211; although if i’m<br />

<p>i’m going to have to look into this.</p>
<p><strong>a shitty poem</strong></p>
<p>why<br />
do we have to shit?</p>
<p>what in indignity!<br />
i heard Arthur rimbaud<br />
liked to play with his shit,<br />
sexually</p>
<p>i also heard Hitler liked to<br />
put leaches on his penis<br />
but i digress</p>
<p>some defend the practice of shitting<br />
they talk about the earth</p>
<p>bukowski said something along the lines of<br />
to fully love, you also have to love the asshole<br />
and everything that comes from it</p>
<p>i paraphrase, naturally<br />
and naturally, i shit but<br />
i don’t have to love it</p>
<p>i don’t have to love</p>
<p>gay people tell me<br />
if something that big can come<br />
out of your ass, why can’t you take this?</p>
<p>do you know the kind of bacteria<br />
going on in shit?</p>
<p>if you eat it, you can potentially die.<br />
and some people who love each other<br />
eat that shit, and i reiterate:</p>
<p>i don’t have to love, but i have to shit.</p>
<p>which begs the question<br />
i began with: why?</p>
<p>this poem is shit<br />
but i had to do it.</p>
<p>there wasn’t any choice.<br />
i am going to use this poem</p>
<p>to wipe my ass</p>
<p>and then i’m going to<br />
fuck it and eat it.</p>
<p>who could worship a god</p>
<p>that could make a<br />
man like me?</p>
<p><strong>When you’ve done something worth remembering<br />
and people forget,</strong></p>
<p>there you are where you started.<br />
you begin as if you just came out of the womb</p>
<p>brand new, ready to do something<br />
people will remember</p>
<p>this is the god damned circle<br />
the Buddha spoke about</p>
<p>when he said, “life is suffering.”</p>
<p>in other words, you are eating your own<br />
ass, and it never ends.</p>
<p><strong>i met a guy,</strong><br />
and he thought i was a fucked up artist.</p>
<p>and i thought he was a fucked up<br />

<p>after we exchanged blowjobs,<br />
he wanted to kill me</p>
<p>and i wanted to paint him.</p>
<p><strong>ME poems,</strong><br />
i don’t like ME poems</p>
<p>every poem is a ME poem</p>
<p>it’s all about ME.</p>
<p>if you say it’s about you,<br />
it’s about ME</p>
<p>i’m the one reading myself<br />
into it</p>
<p>you wrote it so i would feel it,<br />
and to feel it, it has to be about ME</p>
<p>if a poem is good<br />
it is about ME</p>
<p>even if it is about you</p>
<p>in order for a poem to be good<br />
it must be about ME</p>
<p>you have turned ME out,<br />
ruined my ride</p>
<p>spun my head around itself,<br />
forced ME into your thing</p>
<p>but no matter how you try,<br />
all your efforts could fail</p>
<p>unless i approve!<br />
every poem is for ME</p>
<p>and if i decide the poem is<br />
about YOU</p>
<p>what business do i have<br />
bothering with your words?</p>
<p>it’s the thing between us<br />
that makes a poem</p>
<p>it’s the thing we have in common,<br />
the thing we fight over</p>
<p>you write you,<br />
i see ME</p>
<p>a poem about you is<br />
a poem about ME</p>
<p>and now, the dramatic ending<br />
of this you-ME diatribe:</p>
<p>sit in your shadow and beg for light.<br />
sit in my light and beg for words.</p>
<p><strong>life lessons that glow in the dark</strong></p>
<p>if you write on a sidewalk<br />
with the ass of a firefly,<br />
the firefly dies and the words<br />
glow in the dark.</p>
<p>the words were,<br />
“hello, world.”</p>
<p>they faded out the next day.</p>
<p>a little girl<br />
caught glowing angels<br />
and put them in a jar<br />
for a magic night-lamp.</p>
<p>the next morning<br />
the light was gone<br />
and the angels were dead</p>
<p>she did it a few more times before<br />
she realized what was really happening</p>
<p>and what was really happening<br />
was a number of things we will never understand</p>
<p>and the words were,<br />
“hello, world.”</p>
<p><strong>THE CRACK CRONICLES</strong><br />
(The words below have been influenced by Crack<br />
Cocaine, Zanni Bars, and three Draft Beers.)</p>
<p>I don’t want to stay in the middle of things<br />
Sometimes you have to get high<br />
And sometimes you have to get low</p>
<p>The way to get high and be low at the same time<br />
is Crack Cocaine.</p>
<p>I rarely do it. It’s got such a stigma.<br />
It’s supposed to be only for black people in ghettos<br />
Or white people who wish they were black<br />
Who live with their parents.</p>
<p>Honestly, both sides of that coin probably<br />
need a little crack. It makes everything smooth,<br />
Except for the mad sex, gunfire, and blood.</p>
<p>I have had moments stoned on crack where I thought<br />
I was the most brilliant person in the room. I demanded<br />
Attention, the attention of clowns or loud birds.</p>
<p>If a bird squawks loud enough, somebody looks for a BB gun.<br />
It’s not singing, it’s screaming. It’s bird squawk.</p>
<p>And clowns, nobody likes clowns anymore. Not after<br />
John Wayne Gacy. It’s so sad, because Marcel Marceau<br />
was the most beautiful clown, without sound you heard<br />
music. Without words, you heard conversations. The beauty<br />
of his hands&#8211;they made dragonflies and currents of water,<br />
the Comedy Tragedy face, the so many faces&#8230;</p>
<p>Nobody likes mimes either. They don’t like mimes worse than<br />
they don’t like clowns. What do they like? Crack. On crack,<br />
mimes and clowns are okay. They are birds. They are dragonflies.<br />
They are currents of water. Until somebody gets stabbed or shot.</p>
<p>I only do crack once in a rare while. I can count the number of times<br />
on four fingers. I’d do more of it if I thought it would get me a Nobel<br />
Prize. I’d do more of it if I thought love would burst into the room, instead of the cops. Isn’t a star something burned out, or burning out?</p>
<p>There is no argument of the beauty of stars.</p>
<p><strong>The “I” Poem</strong></p>
<p>I don’t want to read about you<br />
and what you thought.</p>
<p>What makes you worth a poem?</p>
<p>A poem should be firstly, not about poems or poetry.</p>
<p>It should be a way to see something that’s not<br />
been seen or read before.</p>
<p>A leaf as blue crab.</p>
<p>A stone as jaundiced eye.</p>
<p>Then comes, “I”.</p>
<p>I did this and that. I saw this and that.</p>
<p>Throw in an unusual color, to make it poetic.</p>
<p>I saw my room, indigo.</p>
<p>Put in a French word.</p>
<p>I saw my room, indigo&#8211;</p>
<p>Au Revoir.</p>
<p>Rearrange words for the academia and</p>
<p>throw in a fancy one or two:</p>
<p>I saw indigo, my room&#8230; Au Revoir</p>
<p>Euclidean eponymous ball sucking</p>
<p>Cunt scab licker.</p>
<p>Then, fuck it up at the end,</p>
<p>now you’ve got a “ME” poem.</p>
<p>You’ve got a Tom Miller poem.</p>
<p>I don’t have the time<br />
to think so deeply about my words</p>
<p>i’ve heard it said, Leonard Cohen<br />
crafts a song a year or more before<br />
he plays it to the public.</p>
<p>that’s Leonard’s way, I have mine.<br />
I want it raw, fresh, and now.</p>
<p>If not the prettiest stump on the log,<br />
there is a way to see every stump as<br />
beautiful. Even the one that popped up quick.</p>
<p>And from one difference to the next,<br />
this shape, that color, the way two ugly stumps<br />
are different, makes them all the more beautiful<br />
and each in their own way.</p>
<p>would we rather do one thing well, or one thousand<br />
things poorly?</p>
<p>Let us examine this:</p>
<p>I kill poetry well with bad poems, one thousand at<br />
a time.</p>
<p>Why would someone want to kill poetry? For the same reason<br />
Leonard Cohen puts so much time into a song; to render a work in such a way as to make it live on beyond him and remain beautiful.</p>
<p>I don’t know what point I’m trying to make here.</p>
<p>Maybe if I had put more thought into it.</p>
<p>For now, let’s just call this a bad Leonard Cohen poem.</p>
<p>Or call it, two ugly stumps on a log.</p>
<p>Did anybody notice the log, by the way?</p>
<p>I might have, but I didn’t have time.</p>
<p>I heard it was a great log that’s been loating there awhile.</p>
<p><strong>Not Quite Famous</strong></p>
<p>Not quite famous<br />
Not quite cute<br />
Not quite ugly</p>
<p>Not quite talented<br />
Not quite not.</p>
<p>Not smoking<br />
Not drinking…<br />
Or am I?</p>
<p>Why don’t you call me?<br />
I loved you, you fucking bitch.</p>
<p><strong>Time for some serious poems</strong></p>
<p>I’ve been writing<br />
Cheap dirty schlock poetry</p>
<p>Exploiting vulgar language for<br />
Vulgar people</p>
<p>I’ve done nothing for the poem.<br />
Forgive me…</p>
<p>It’s time for some serious work<br />
Something real, something from my gut</p>
<p>Something that when put on the page<br />
Might write me back, it’s got such balls!</p>
<p>And maybe not write me so well.<br />
Something that may come alive and</p>
<p>Absorb me into it<br />
Like all the loves of my life never did or could</p>
<p>Something that can call me out for what I am;<br />
A shadow, writing invisible ink on pages made of ash.</p>
<p><strong>Burn, baby.</strong></p>
<p>I wanted to set you on fire.<br />
But now, I really do.</p>
<p>Not in a poetic way,<br />
I just want to throw gas on you</p>
<p>And light a match.</p>
<p>When you wake up screaming,<br />
I’ll say, “Now you know what it feels like to be me!”<br />
My teeth are falling out.</p>
<p>My belly is hanging over my belt,<br />
Covering up my dick.</p>
<p><strong>I’m 43 just a week ago.</strong><br />
Worst birthday I ever had.</p>
<p>Nobody called.<br />
Somebody bought me a drink.</p>
<p>I can’t remember who.</p>
<p>I’m growing hair in weird places.<br />
The top of my ear, and one from a mole on my chest.</p>
<p>Cancer!</p>
<p>When it all comes tumbling down, and it always does,<br />
And it’s doing that now, and here I go…</p>
<p>What am I going to do?</p>
<p>My back hurts, I’m tired and lazy.<br />
If you ever came back to me, I’d be<br />
Too tired and lazy to fuck you.</p>
<p>That’s why you left me anyway,<br />
But you’ll be there, in time.</p>
<p>I hope not alone, like me.<br />
I hope not hungry and alone and scared,<br />
Like me.</p>
<p><strong>Shattered Glass Birds</strong></p>
<p>Poems with birds<br />
Have always turned my stomach</p>
<p>Poems with birds made of glass<br />
Have always made me wretch.</p>
<p>Poems with shattered glass birds<br />
Have always caused me to puke.</p>
<p>I think, how awful! What horrible poetry!<br />
And I think how much I’d like to glue those</p>
<p>Shattered glass birds back together again<br />
And let them fly away from every poetry reading</p>
<p>In the world.</p>
<p><strong>My Final Poem</strong></p>
<p>This could be the one.<br />
I’m feeling like I’ll either have a heart attack<br />
Or hang myself.</p>
<p>What can I leave behind?<br />
What grand few words of meaning<br />
Could I poke out on this fancy computer?</p>
<p>When a super charged flair up of the sun<br />
Erases all the hard drives in the world,<br />
Or maybe a nuclear war…</p>
<p>I want my final poem to be the best one ever<br />
To be erased from time.</p>
<p>This isn’t it, is it.</p>
<p><strong>Cheese</strong></p>
<p>My cheese poem is<br />
Perhaps my best</p>
<p>So lovely are its lines</p>
<p>A poem of cheese<br />
I wrote with ease</p>
<p>So fancy is my wine</p>
<p>And wine I drink<br />
While reading cheese</p>
<p>A poem I wrote while drunk</p>
<p>And read it, please!<br />
It stinks of cheese</p>
<p>I eat this nasty junk!</p>
<p><strong>r intrudes</strong></p>
<p>You play chess, but there is no queen. Instead, there is a thimble. You and your opponent agree: The thimble will be the queen. It will follow her rules. The pieces will regard her as the queen. It is a thimble, and it is the queen. On the board, between the two opponents, it is simply, the queen. It is no longer a thimble. It has all the powers, rules, and appearance of the queen. The thimble is the queen.</p>
<p>When the game is done, the thimble will figure prominently. It will have overrun pawns, knights, bishops, and castles. In the end, the thimble will corner the king, and bring it down. Was it a queen when he saw it coming, or was it the thimble he thought it was? Too late&#8211; he is lost.</p>
<p><strong>line from a Little Rascals short feature film:</strong><br />
“i gotta’ stay home, and grease Wheezer.”</p>
<p>sick bunch of fucks, the Little Rascals!</p>
<p><strong>i would have made out with Orson Welles</strong></p>
<p>i would have watched his magic tricks<br />
if i knew the secret, i wouldn’t have told him</p>
<p>i don’t care how fat he got, or whether or not<br />

<p>i would have kissed him<br />

<p><strong>boone’s farm</strong></p>
<p>one time my high school buddies and I drank so much boone’s farm wine that we destroyed the entire golf course behind my house: the stand where the water fountain and the ball cleaner is, four posts, a roof, a bit of shade, let’s knock that motherfucker down!</p>
<p>we pushed this way and that and the posts gave out. the whole thing vanquished by drunk teen assholes. and then, we went to the green with a pick axe, and carved a tic tac toe into the moist soft grass. we made our Xs and Os out of upside down empty bottles of boone’s farm jammed into the dirt. i don’t know who won, but that game was highly regarded the next morning by somebody… i’m absolutely sure of it.</p>
<p>sorry, but i only liked the golf course when i was getting hurt, running scared, or when i could make it my adventure, which had nothing to do with golf. it had only to do with boone’s farm, youth, and destroying everything the rich covet with their dirty balls.</p>
<p><strong>i’m confused by boone’s farm</strong></p>
<p>the label reads:<br />
boone’s farm – American original</p>
<p>then it says, ‘sangria flavored grape wine’</p>
<p>the more i drink of it, the more i realize<br />
that label don’t know what it am talking about</p>
<p>a grape wine flavored as sangria<br />
can not be an American original</p>
<p>if sangria is from Spain!<br />
and on the re-think, maybe</p>
<p>that’s just what makes it an American original:<br />
the lie.</p>

hair, it looks like a praying mantis</p>
<p>i can write a poem about a particle of crap on the floor<br />

<p>there’s barf down there, and sand, and mold,<br />

<p><strong>Pissing Beetles Out My Dick</strong></p>
<p>I read some stuff. I read this kid had maggots or something growing in his nut sack and he’s pissing beetles out his dick. Read about how kids with pin worms scratch their assholes in their sleep and the eggs get under the fingernails and they put their fingers in their mouths and that’s how them things keep their life-cycle going. Read about the worm the doctors took out of that guy’s eyeball. It really happened. Heard about the dude who was picking scabs off his wiener to spoon cocaine into the wound, habitual, and how the wound kept getting bigger and bigger over time until now he’s got a big bleeding lady gash. He can get a whole lot of coke in there, too. It’s not like he cares at this point anyway. He has to jerk off with a toilet plunger handle. Read about the fellow that fell out of the bed and his night-time boner fractured on the floor. Read about the girl who has got stuff coming out of her doughnut and the doctors can not identify this fluid. Repeat: Can Not Identify This Fluid. Then there was the guy who exploded in the morgue from a build up of gas. Some of that guy got in somebody’s mouth on that one, I heard. So, weird shit happens all the time is the best way of putting it. Okay, true story this next one. Guy’s got some kind of rare bacteria in his shit and I kid you not, they have to do a fecal transplant–that’s a transplant of shit–using donors. In other words, he’s gotta’ have his shit ripped out and have shit from other people put inside of his hole. Grossest thing about this predicament is that the dude’s wife got to examine the processed donor feces, feces made up from several people who, I guess, got paid to produce charity dumps, and she said it was, like, clear, and didn’t have a smell. Fuck me, dude. Fuck me. If I start shitting clear shit that doesn’t smell, that would gross me out worse than what I have coming out of there as it is. Or if it was yellow, could you imagine how fucked up yellow shit with no odor would be? I’d freak out and die if my shit was yellow and didn’t have a smell. Here’s the next one. This kid, I forget his name, he got a bite from a Brown Recluse spider and didn’t know it. It started itching and he was scratching the poison all around in there, spreading it around. Before he figured out what the problem was… well, let’s put it this way. He’s got no mouth and there’s no skin where his ears were: Just holes. Red wet smelly holes. Seriously. Alright, here’s the last one. This is a doozy. All of this is true, by the way. You can look it up on the Internet. Two year old girl has a parasite twin growing in her abdomen and the doctors decide it’s in her best interest to cut this thing outta’ there. So they give her knockout stuff, you know, the stuff that killed Michael Jackson, and start cutting into her pouch. They get to the parasite twin, which sort of looks like a row of teeth and a patch of gnarled kinky hair and some of a nose, and the fucking thing starts screaming! Screaming, man! Fucking screaming! And it sounds like a cross between a horny Tomcat and a brutally loud tea kettle whistle. Doctors can’t believe it, and they stab it in the partial nose area and mouth a couple times to put it down. And just before it gives up the fight, it says two words, two words clearly pronounced with no question among those who were there to hear it. It said, “Tom Miller”. And then it died.</p>
<p><strong>Tasteless Poem</strong></p>
<p>I have to write a tasteless poem<br />
For David Maas’s reading<br />
It shouldn’t be too challenging<br />
Since now my dick hole’s bleeding</p>
<p>It must be gross and quite offensive<br />
Sick on every level<br />
So here’s my take on tastelessness<br />
My dick hole’s really bleeding</p>
<p>Wait a minute here while I<br />
Diverge to get a napkin<br />
There’s so much blood that’s pouring out<br />
That Jesus Christ would maybe doubt</p>
<p>I’m bleeding more than he did<br />
When they nailed him on the cross<br />
At least I didn’t shit the cross<br />
When people die, their sphincters toss</p>
<p>The contents of the bowels right out<br />
He may have shit on Mary’s snout<br />
I’m warming up, I’m almost tasteless<br />
Pissing beetles masturbating</p>
<p>Blood and beetles, Jesus poop<br />
Grab a tampon, let’s make soup<br />
I know I’m going straight to hell<br />
But by that time my dick will heal</p>
<p>I’ll pick the scab ‘till it’s infected<br />
Pissing pus through my erection<br />
Pus from which the beetles crawl<br />
From maggots buried in my balls</p>
<p>All this talk has made me hungry<br />
I hear beetles are eaten in Hungary<br />
From my dick they come with sauce<br />
That’s red and green and David Maas</p>
<p>Is hosting shows of tasteless prose<br />
Is this poem good? I think he knows.<br />
Throw up in your panty hose?<br />
Does that taste good? I think it’s gross.</p>
<p><strong>The Gay Buttfucking Old Man from the 70’s meets Little Billy</strong></p>
<p>It was dark and smoky in the Brown Flower Lounge and the smell of diarrhea was in the air. The closer you got to what they called, The Back Room, the smellier it got. There were wet sloshing sounds and Little Billy was almost sure this wasn’t where all the kids were supposed to meet for the field trip to the local pool. But curiosity got the better of him and he ventured forth into the darkness to see what all the sloshing sounds were all about. “Maybe the pool is back in there,” he thought to himself.</p>
<p>Little Billy turned a corner and was suddenly shrouded in darkness. Then, he heard a voice call out from the void. “Hey kid, help me get this brick into my bloom!” He said.</p>
<p>“What’s a bloom, mister?” Said Little Billy. Is that like a flower?”</p>
<p>“That’s right, kid.” The man said. “When your rose has been forced open for so many years by bigger and weirder objects over the course of two decades, what you got left where your asshole used to be is what we gay buttfucking old men from the 70’s call, a Bloom.”</p>
<p>“Uh, mister…” Said Little Billy. “I’m only six years old.”</p>
<p>“Kid,” said the voice, “I ain’t gonna’ fuck you. I just need you to ram this brick up my ass.”</p>
<p>“But is there a pool in here,” Asked Little Billy, suddenly becoming aware that the sloshing wasn’t the right kind of water.</p>
<p>“Let me explain something to you, little boy, that you’re gonna’ learn something from. Sometimes in life you get in a circumstance where you’re in the darkness, it smells like shit, there’s an anxious bloom plumping out of an old man from the 70’s ass, and he’s gonna’ need a little help getting a God Damn brick stuffed up in there. So the way I see it, you got two choices. You can either run-the-fuck out of here and be a normal kid for the rest of your life, or you can guide this greased up brick into my big blooming A-hole. Now what’s it going to be kid?”</p>
<p>Little Billy thought about it for awhile. He remembered what his parents had told him about not talking to strangers and staying far away from 70’s leather-man bars. Then he remembered all the good advice he got down at the Catholic Church from Father, Diabolical Suckadingy. And from the confusion of the completely mixed messages, Little Billy was going to form his very first decision all on his own; a decision that was going to be uniquely personal, and one which would set the course for the future of his life.</p>
<p>“Sure, I’ll help you out, mister. Where’s that greasy brick at.”</p>
<p>It took several thrusts for Little Billy to jam the brick into the gay buttfucking old man from the 70’s ass. But once it was finally in, the gay buttfucking old man from the 70’s took a deep breath and then power-pumped his colon, blowing out the brick which flew through the air and entered another old gay buttfucking old man from the 70’s asshole. Then that gay buttfucking old man from the 70’s, in turn butt-chucked his brick into another gay buttfucking old man from the 70’s ass. And so it went back and forth down the line of leather bar-slung sissies until everyone finally blew a hot steamy load.</p>
<p>There was a group-grunt followed by sighs and moans of pleasure. The slings stopped swinging on their chains and the odor began to gently clear away as the mop man came in with his bacterial disinfectant spray cleaner.</p>
<p>“God Damn! Best action I seen in years,” Said the gay buttfucking old man from the 70’s. We owe it all to this kid, men. Let’s give him a big enthusiastic hand of support.” The men all spontaneously broke into applause, which sent ropes and spatters of semen flying all over the room.</p>
<p>“Little fellow,” said the gay buttfucking old man from the 70’s, “You helped us out real good! So now we’re going to help you out too. We’re going to help you get exactly what you need.” There was a long, thick, hard, angry, purple, wet, uncomfortable pause.</p>
<p>Then he said, “The public pool is right across the street. Go out the door you came in, look both ways &#8211; which is real good advice for a kid, and then cross the street and you’ll surely find all your little school buddies over there having a great time swimming.</p>
<p>“Gee, thanks mister,” Said Little Billy. He ventured out of The Brown Flower Lounge, across the street and to the public pool where all his classmates were laughing and playing in the water. Little Billy dove into the pool, splashed innocently around a bit, and found a perch by the ladder at the deep end. Suddenly, Little Billy formed a second big decision of his very own, a decision that would affect him and all his little friends for the rest of their lives. A course was set. A path had begun. The future looked gay and rosy. The world was filled-up-the-ass with possibility. And in the glory of that one liberating moment of reflection and independence, Little Billy closed his eyes, smiled brightly, and began to shit the pool.</p>
<p>The End</p>
<p><strong>I’ve been killing the termites</strong><br />
That fly around my apartment.</p>
<p>They’ve been eating at my greatest works,<br />
The archives of my poetry and tape recordings and paintings.</p>
<p>I pulled out a cassette tape and saw where the tape had been food<br />
And wondered what words or music they might have consumed.</p>
<p>Maybe when I smash them, I’m smashing small pieces of my history<br />
And I’ll be lesser the man for it in the memory of time.</p>
<p>But no matter, I annoy myself to death anyway.</p>
<p><strong>Where It Came From, and Where It’s Going To</strong></p>
<p>for 15 years. She was never very good at it, from what we could tell. We used to say to her, “Gina, you have to get out of it.” But she’d never listen. She just kept cooking those horrible cookies and trying to give them away. Everyone knew they were turds.</p>
<p>Later, when she was cast in the play as the pregnant daughter, nobody thought it was funny but her. We couldn’t figure out why, especially after her—what was it? 5th abortion?—she would covet such a role for herself. Who didn’t know it all? Hell, the administrators knew, and they encouraged her.</p>
<p>Her dad was at the show. Embarrassing. She had this way of smelling things. Now meanwhile, Dan hadn’t even finished the book by the time this happened. He wasn’t really reading it anyway. There were unusual shadows that crossed the wall every so often, but he didn’t buy it. Nobody believed that ghost shit. I mean, seriously, who would? The stories were absurd. Going to the well for water and, oh oh, there she goes. Patently absurd!</p>
<p>So the play begins. There’s total silence. Everyone’s giving Gina a chance. She clamors out to the lip of the stage and</p>
<p><strong>grandmother smell</strong><br />
the feel of wood</p>
<p>unnatural colors posing as poetry<br />
when it’s put on a bird</p>
<p>how fancy can you make your words?<br />
fancy enough for people to care?</p>
<p>mosquitoes hover hungrily before my eyes<br />
and all I can do is slap my face</p>
<p>first of the new year</p>
<p>no poem comes<br />
too many poems about poems</p>
<p>about writing<br />
about not paying the rent</p>
<p>about craving something new<br />
for the new year</p>
<p>but only the old remains<br />
and grows older</p>
<p>chasing the tail<br />
boring myself</p>
<p>wondering if at the same old poetry reading<br />
i’ll read the same old poems</p>
<p>about writing<br />
about not paying the rent</p>
<p>about craving something new<br />
for the new year</p>
<p>but only the old remains<br />
and grows older</p>
<p>chasing the tail<br />

<p>wondering if at the same old poetry reading<br />
i’ll read the same old poems</p>

about not paying the rent</p>
<p>about craving something new<br />

<p>repeat until merciful death</p>
<p><strong>Another Magic Trick<br />
By Tom miller</strong></p>
<p>The magician puts a volunteer<br />
Into the box<br />
Grabs a sword</p>
<p>He stabs one in<br />
Then two<br />
Three, four, there’s no way…</p>
<p>The phone doesn’t ring tonight<br />
With your voice<br />
I drink alone but it’s okay</p>
<p>He must be stabbed!<br />
Six or seven swords<br />
One must have hit his heart</p>
<p>I hoped you would come back<br />
If I was wrong, I was wrong<br />
If not, maybe we’d see each other again</p>
<p>He opens the box<br />
The subject has vanished<br />
A dozen swords, crossed over emptiness</p>
<p>The magician bows<br />
The audience applauds</p>
<p>I wonder where he went</p>
<p><strong>the end after the end</strong></p>
<p>i saw you through the window</p>
<p>we had some times<br />
but was it real?</p>
<p>did you lie and get scared?<br />
are you who i thought you were?</p>
<p>i don’t care if you saw me back.<br />
yesterday, yes, today, no.</p>
<p>i moved quickly away<br />
to get here to this typewriter</p>
<p>and put you down<br />
like old yeller.</p>
<p><strong>dionysus drinks boone’s farm</strong></p>
<p>in my greece, dionysus drinks boone’s farm<br />
anyone dares text-message or take a call during oedipus rex<br />
is killed and raped</p>
<p>aristotle masturbates to the climax and the critics are doused with oil<br />
and burned</p>
<p>immortals</p>
<p>the gods look down and say,<br />
“tom, you’ve had too much to drink. here, have another.”</p>
<p>i drop to my knees, spit the butt of my clove cigarette<br />
into the face of god and say, “sure, why not.”</p>
<p><strong>sucker</strong></p>
<p>having never enough money<br />
for anything i want<br />
i take what little i have left<br />
and spend it all at once as if i’m rich</p>
<p>i dine in the finest restaurants<br />
buy all my friends round after round<br />
pick up some weed and some blow<br />
and smoke and snort and toss my seed</p>
<p>when all the money is gone<br />
i am unwelcome in the finest restaurants<br />
my friends offer no easy drinks<br />
and my cock retracts back into my brain</p>
<p>where it most certainly does not belong<br />
and my brain says, “get the fuck outta’ here,<br />
you BUM!”</p>
<p>i wait for the next student loan check<br />
to bail me out; i am getting an education<br />
after all&#8211;</p>
<p>if you are wondering where the money went<br />
the government stole it from you and gave it<br />
to me. i am a 44 year old college student and<br />
i’m as smart as a</p>
<p>tick.</p>
<p><strong>the sun singles me out I COULD NOT FIND</strong><br />
from table to table A SHADY SPOT IN THE PATIO<br />
baring down with her cancer OF THE COFFEE SHOP AND SO<br />
they tell me I WENT INSIDE</p>
<p>scientists<br />
with each new study<br />
love and hate her<br />
but always awed</p>
<p>settle in to<br />
a piece of shade<br />
that dissolves<br />
when her eyes set upon it</p>
<p>leaves me naked<br />
exposed like Dracula<br />
to light the stake<br />
death of the immortal</p>
<p>death<br />
i shelter myself<br />
inside the coffee shop<br />
air-conditioning and darkness</p>
<p>cancer, yes, but also<br />
good things come from the sun<br />
but not in here<br />
where it’s safe and sad</p>
<p>she stalks me<br />
she waits and burns</p>
<p><strong>blood on the typewriter</strong></p>
<p>above the ‘()* keys<br />
blood on the typewriter</p>
<p>spilt in the service of poetry<br />
as if a murder has been done</p>
<p>as if menstruation had occurred<br />
as if a baby had been born</p>
<p>screaming and wide-eyed and<br />
been smacked on the ass to life</p>
<p>to breathe, as if old man<br />
coughed up the blood from his lungs</p>
<p>just as his metaphor flew over the<br />
mountain like a bird, a bleeding bird</p>
<p>a reminder of the pain, a symbol of<br />
the struggle, a monument to the flow</p>
<p>we dare not clean it<br />
typewriters are not for museums</p>
<p>as love is not for poems<br />
it is the other way around</p>
<p>to know what is inside us<br />
and bring it out into the world</p>
<p>there is blood on the typewriter<br />
good dark rich red blood.</p>

MONKEY</p>
<p>By Tom Miller<br />
(C) 1993 FREDInk Recordings</p>
<p>Touch The Monkey<br />
By Tom Miller</p>
<p>This was my chance. Koko Anna, world renowned clown was in my bed and ready for action.<br />
     &#8220;Remember, you have to use protection.&#8221; She said in that goofy clown voice. And so I produced a Trojan Maxi-size and somehow managed to fit it on. Koko Anna then convulsed and tied my dick into a poodle. Maybe she thought it was funny when she popped it. I don&#8217;t know.</p>
<p><strong>Floatilla, the Beautiful Moth</strong></p>
<p>     Floatilla was the most beautiful moth in the whole world until the day she flew into a torch flame and her wings caught fire, and she ended up on the ground crawling around like the worm she used to be.</p>
<p><strong>John the Smoker</strong></p>
<p>     John loved to smoke, even after the bypass, even after the cancerous lung was removed, even while on permanent oxygen supplement, even when they removed his tongue, even when his lips swelled up like a frog and he was little more than a heaving empty shell of a man.</p>
<p>     Fred was tending the garden as he always did on Thursday when suddenly a bee came and stung him on his eye. &#8220;God damned bees!&#8221; Fred screamed aloud as he beat on his eye with his fist. &#8220;Teach you to sting me!&#8221; As he was struggling to crush the insect, he stumbled over a pebble and landed back first on a discarded soda bottle which crushed under his weight and cut him in several places. &#8220;Bottles and bees!&#8221; He said. &#8220;Every time I garden&#8230; I&#8217;ll be damned.&#8221; Fred managed to get to his feet, crush the bee, and began pulling bottle shards out of his body when he looked down and noticed the neighbor&#8217;s Chihuahua playing with his now mangled and bleeding ankle.</p>
<p>     &#8220;If a cow didn&#8217;t shit on my head!&#8221; Fred exclaimed. &#8220;Here&#8217;s this little rat biting my leg now. Teach you to bite.&#8221; And Fred cast the dog into the air with a swift kick. Coincidentally at that moment in time, a scruffy black bird who felt her territory was being invaded flew down repeatedly pecking at Fred&#8217;s peeling head. Fred looked up in astonishment and angrily yelled, &#8220;Bird coming at my head now. Saint Peter in Hell, if I ain&#8217;t seen such a sight in all my life.&#8221; Suddenly, the ground opened up and swallowed Fred to the bottom of a sink hole where his efforts to escape only proved to be fruitless. In frustration, he sat down to be disgruntled and he hardly could have noticed the rattlesnake family nesting where his ass was now heading. Moments later, Fred&#8217;s cry of, &#8220;Snakes, and they bit me!&#8221; could be heard blocks down the street. Then from above, the back end of a pickup truck peered out over the ledge. It was Fred&#8217;s neighbor, Blind Ernie. &#8220;He don&#8217;t drive&#8230; he don&#8217;t drive&#8230; &#8221; Fred said to himself as the truck passed the halfway point and proceeded to drop quickly to the bottom.</p>
<p>     &#8220;Jesus Mary Mother of Bloodfuck!&#8221; shouted Fred, and then he was gone.</p>
<p>Got me a lizard<br />
Sink that bastard<br />
String taught around<br />
The green pulsing waist</p>
<p>To the other end<br />
I tie a stone<br />
And sink that bastard</p>
<p>A thin envelope<br />
Of air surrounds<br />
The writhing reptile</p>
<p>His blurry image<br />
Through the ripples<br />
The lizard stills<br />
With the surface<br />
Of the water</p>
<p>Once I had a tiny puppy<br />
Furry ball of love<br />
Blew some dope smoke in his face<br />
He begin to cough</p>
<p>Put some sugar on my dick<br />
Make him lick me good<br />
Keep him in a tiny cage<br />
Never give him food</p>
<p>When he die I exercise<br />
My necrophilia whims<br />
Yay for bestiality<br />
My favorite of sins</p>
<p>This is my poem and isn&#8217;t it great<br />
Some may love it but others may hate<br />
You may think me quite irate<br />
But nevertheless, this is my poem</p>
<p>I think my poem is really dumb<br />
I just wanted to write me one<br />
Write a poem that would eat some time<br />
In this little book of mine<br />
Would you like to drink some wine<br />
Fine Rhine wine from Spain</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t care if it doesn&#8217;t rhyme<br />
I don&#8217;t care if I write too many lines<br />
I don&#8217;t like you anyway</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think you like my poem<br />
I think you think my poem is dumb<br />
Do you think you can do better<br />
Write a poem, it doesn&#8217;t matter</p>
<p>Eat a peach and bake a pie<br />
Stick a BB in your eye<br />
And now my poem is done<br />
Wasn&#8217;t that fun &#8211; fuck you</p>
<p>A bug I see<br />
Alight on me<br />
Squishy squashy<br />
Little bee</p>
<p>Nary a stinger<br />
Shall invade me<br />
Not with my<br />
Integrity</p>
<p><strong>Clumsy Waiter</strong></p>
<p>     One day, I was walking down the street when my stomach began to growl. &#8220;Boy I should feed that periodically.&#8221; I thought to myself. Looking up, I noticed a quaint little diner just up the street and to the left. Sure, it looked a little fancy, but as I always say, &#8216;Indulge now, for tomorrow may never come.&#8217;</p>
<p>     At the door, I was greeted by a very well dressed food service professional who escorted me to a lovely table next to a window with a view of a pristine duck pond. The waiter, introducing himself as Raplo Burgerman, poured me a glass of water with the flair of a top surgeon and presented me the menu. I was aghast at the phenomenally high prices, and yet a cultured patron would never indulge in such trivial matters as the price. He would instead be concerned with the service, the quality of the food, and the dynamics of the atmosphere. Raplo returned carrying a pristine white towel over his forearm. He used no pad to write the orders. He relied instead on his uncanny memory due to his years of training as a master of service. I ordered the Vienna Chicken and a small garden salad on Raplo&#8217;s suggestion and as he disappeared into the kitchen, I began to drool in anticipation.</p>
<p>     Several minutes later as I was looking out the window admiring the view of a mother duck and her children following her like a chain of little yellow cotton balls, Raplo Burgerman came through the door leading into that patio and began, suddenly, to chase the mother. I wasn&#8217;t sure what he was up to at first, but when I saw the cleaver with glints of sunlight firing off of it like lasers, I reeled back in my chair in horror. He flung the weapon as the ducklings scattered, and caught the tail of the mother which fell from the bird in a bloody spray; Her craning neck stiffening with her God-fearing bird screams of terror. </p>
<p>     Still she ran to escape the carnage leaving her tail still writhing with autonomic convulsive muscle reflexes. As she passed on Raplo&#8217;s right, he kicked at her, sending her up into the air where her clipped and useless wings flapped to no avail and feathers fell like rain. She landed in a clump on one of her own ducklings, killing it. And then with violent kicks of her duck legs, she had righted herself and was running again.</p>
<p>     In the meantime, Raplo had secured purchase of his cutlery and was after her, his face a scowling mask of tight determination. He threw the cleaver and it spun through the air slicing off the mother duck&#8217;s beak. She fell in shock and quivered aimlessly in a circle on her side. Raplo neatly crushed her with his boot, picked her up by the face, and de-feathered the bird as skillfully as any chef could. The mother, barely alive throughout the ordeal could only gasp in wheezy bursts as the blood from her torn flesh rolled down her neck forming a puddle of bird blood below her.</p>
<p>     Raplo left the way he came, through the door holding the bird and after about fifteen minutes, I was presented with my meal. I studied it for some time, thinking of the horror I had just witnessed, and having anticipated a high quality of service was disappointed to say, &#8220;I ordered chicken, not duck.&#8221; Raplo&#8217;s eyes filled with fire and his face flushed red.</p>
<p>     &#8220;Are you saying I have made a mistake?&#8221; He shouted. &#8220;I rip your fucking face off!&#8221; And with that, he thrust his hand into the cavity of my chest and tore out my heart, showing it to me as I slowly died. Like I always say, live now for tomorrow may never come. I should have just eaten the duck. And what of the orphaned ducklings, you may ask? Raplo went out there with a net, threw them in oil, and made chicken nuggets.</p>
<p>     One day in the Woodsworth Forest, Billy Bob McGinnacutty was out shooting the neck things out of lizards and poppin&#8217; the balloons of various toads when suddenly there came a whirring sound from above. Billy looked up and saw a large cigar shaped flying saucer that landed just ahead of him in the clearing. He ambled over to the site taking cover in the trees, his gun poised for action. Then another whir sound as the metal alloy door slowly opened and out stepped a small French Poodle, it&#8217;s coiffure dusted to a powdery white. The poodle stepped off his metal runway, strolled up to a tree, lifted his leg, and began to pee.</p>
<p>     Out of sheer panic, Billy Bob began firing lugs into the creature&#8217;s body until it was blown to bloody bits. &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry&#8230;I&#8217;m sorry&#8230;&#8221; he said with each shot. Then a dead silence filled the air. Loud footsteps could be heard coming from within the ship and there at the hatchway was a small boy with a tear in his eye.<br />
     &#8220;Why&#8217;d you kill my dog, mister?&#8221; He said. &#8220;Why&#8217;d you kill my only friend?&#8221;</p>
<p>     Billy bob walked up to the boy and tried to comfort him. &#8220;I&#8217;s so sorry, boy I thought aliens had come to take over the earth. I thought your dog there might be an alien and so I shot it to protect the United States of America. But now that I see&#8217;s you&#8217;s just a kid and that your dog is just a dog, my heart aches with sorrow.&#8221;<br />
     &#8220;It ain&#8217;t a perfect world here, is it mister?&#8221;<br />
     &#8220;No,&#8221; replied Billy, &#8220;It ain&#8217;t, but by God, it&#8217;s the only world we got.&#8221; Shortly thereafter, the boy sped off in his space ship and Billy Bob went home for supper. As he peered out the living room window reflecting on the mistakes he had made that day in taking for granted the power of man to destroy life, a couple of seven foot poodles stormed the house and peed on the bed.</p>
<p>     &#8220;I accept this punishment on behalf of America.&#8221; Billy Bob shouted out, but the poodles didn&#8217;t care, they just needed to pee. In recognition of this great day where Billy Bob McGinnacutty saw aliens for the first time in his life, he wrote them a little poem and buried it in a time capsule. The poem reads as follows:</p>
<p>Sky poodle from the great beyond<br />
Make my bed your personal pond<br />
Bring your liquid wrath to bear<br />
Pee into my underwear<br />
Pee so much that I don&#8217;t care<br />
If the pee smells in the air<br />
Pee Pee Glorious pee<br />
From a space poodle dog weenie<br />
Blessed be a poodle&#8217;s pee<br />
Oh sky poodles,<br />
Accept my apology</p>
<p>Are You For Real?</p>
<p>     Judy had been eyeing the over-sized groin box of Mr. Beasley Myerson who in turn was eying and admiring the protruding cannon balls of Judy. As the night went on and the drinks went down, Judy and Beasley came closer and closer together until they were almost touching and then, in an attempt to appear sophisticated, Judy said, &#8220;So, how&#8217;s it hanging?&#8221;<br />
     &#8220;Beasley replied in complimentary fashion, &#8220;About as low as them melons dangling from your chest.&#8221; That was all that needed to be said, and they left the saloon arm and arm for what each of them thought would be a night of shameless passion.</p>
<p>     When they arrived at Beasley&#8217;s house, he immediately stepped out of his pants and Judy removed her blouse. The excitement was building. She just couldn&#8217;t wait to feel the length and girth of that Porterhouse tenderloin and he just couldn&#8217;t wait to gurgle and shake his face between her billowing cleavage.</p>
<p>     &#8220;Show me!&#8221; She insisted, &#8220;Show me your stuff.&#8221; And Beasley lowered his underwear in such a way as to cause the rolled up sock he had been flaunting to flop out on the floor and reveal that he had not a Porterhouse, But a Vienna Sausage.<br />
     &#8220;What is that?&#8221; Shouted Judy, astonished, but not before her bra came tumbling off and the bird seed filled pantyhose balls she had been using to inflate her fundillacutties fell away revealing two tiny berries.<br />
     &#8220;My God!&#8221; Beasley exclaimed, &#8220;Those aren&#8217;t boobs, those are bird seed pantyballs. You got the tits of a bird.&#8221;<br />
     &#8220;Well you got the dick of a mouse.&#8221; Judy retorted. She turned to leave, but she spun with such force that her prosthetic leg twisted off with a deadening thunk. Beasley, his eyes wide with the realization that things were not as they appeared to be, began yelling at her while she hopped around trying to regain her balance.</p>
<p>     &#8220;You fake bitch! I got you up here cause I thought you was a woman, and now I find you&#8217;re just another one-legged bird booby just like the rest of them.&#8221; By this time, Beasley was so enraged, and the sweat of his brow began to loosen his toupee until it slid askew. Then, as he tried to correct it, he inadvertently wiped off most of the Bottle-O-Tan he had applied to his face earlier in the night. Judy saw Beasley struggling with his hair and looking like a bald white nightmare, and began laughing.</p>
<p>     She said, &#8220;Well, it looks like your not the man you used to be.&#8221; Then her dentures fell out and she began to drool while fumbling for the teeth. Needless to say, she fell over and Beasley slipped on her saliva pool and fell to his head. This popped off the steel plate he had, put on in a recent operation. &#8220;My head plate! My head plate!&#8221; He shouted.</p>
<p>     In their respective grasping and clawing activities, they bumped heads and Judy&#8217;s glass eye popped free, rolling across the floor to the cat, who batted it down the stairway.</p>
<p>     Several months later, there was a knock on Beasley&#8217;s front door. He went to answer it and was surprised to find Judy, all in place and looking as lovely as the day he first met her. He invited her in and they chatted over tea and cookies.</p>
<p>     &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry I have to tell you this.&#8221; Judy said through streaming tears, &#8220;But somewhere during the course of our struggle, you must have impregnated me by accident.&#8221; Under the circumstances, Judy and Beasley got married and later at the hospital, the baby came out in pieces. They named it, Scraps.</p>
<p>The End</p>
<p>   <strong>  Tough Guys</strong></p>
<p>     I was in this bar in Philly checkin&#8217; out the boobs on dis chick I seen, when I figured she was hot for me. So I slid over and gave her my line that works every time.</p>
<p>     &#8216;Hey sugar cakes, if you got the buns, I got the wiener. Let&#8217;s light a fire in your asshole and have a cookout.&#8217; She looked at me like she wanted my stuff, but then this guy gets in between us. &#8216;Dis is MY girl,&#8217; he says to me. &#8216;You got five seconds to clear out, or I&#8217;m gonna&#8217; give you a knuckle sandwich.&#8217; Well, he don&#8217;t look so tough to me. My arms is bigger, my chest is bigger, he ain&#8217;t got no tattoos&#8230; he don&#8217;t look so tough to me. So I raise up my dukes and I say, &#8216;The lady looks like she wants a man, and you don&#8217;t look like no man to me. You look like a cryin&#8217; sissy boy to me.&#8217;</p>
<p>     He moves up with his pissed off face and says, &#8216;I don&#8217;t fight for no girl. She loves me &#8217;cause she knows I can satisfy her. See, I got what she needs. What you got, tough guy?&#8217;</p>
<p>     I &#8216;taut about it. What&#8217;s this guy askin&#8217; me? Is he asking me to a dick off? Now I don&#8217;t like showin&#8217; my stuff to no man or nothin&#8217; but this was for a hot booby chick here. So I said, &#8216;If you think you got something, then step right here in the shitter and let&#8217;s settle this man to man.&#8217; </p>
<p>     He said no. That we was going to do it right there in the bar, in front of God and everybody. With the girlie watching so&#8217;s she could be the judge. Fine with me. I took my shot O&#8217; whiskey and then pulled my pants off. When I lowered my drawers to my knees and Old Smokey rolled out to its twelve inches hangin&#8217;, I began to laugh with pride. &#8216;What you got?&#8217; I asked. &#8216;Bring it on, fucknuts.&#8217;</p>
<p>     Tough guy dropped his pants and starin&#8217; me in the face was a full on pussy! &#8216;THIS is what she needs.&#8217; he said. And the girl, Pearl I think was her name, she drops her dress and she&#8217;s got a two foot thick hard baseball bat of a penis.</p>
<p>     &#8216;What are you people?&#8217; I shouted. What kind of twisted shit is this?&#8217; I got so scared that I ran all the way home. Maybe I was a sissy after all. I sure wasn&#8217;t tough enough to look at that man&#8217;s pussy and that woman&#8217;s fat dick hangin&#8217;. I was so upset that I stayed in my room and cried.</p>
<p>The End</p>
<p>     My family went to the Drive Thru Zoo, and as we passed the monkey exhibit, a small chimp got on the roof. I rolled my window down to reach out and bat him away, but he quickly entered the vehicle and bit up my young daughter&#8217;s face.<br />
     &#8220;Enough of your monkey business!&#8221; I shouted as seriously as possible, but I couldn&#8217;t help laughing at my pun, and my funny looking daughter bleeding like a stuck pig.</p>

<p><strong>Bad Dog</strong></p>
<p>     One day, Edith Beasley was cooking dinner for her husband and children when Rex, her small Terrier, came into the kitchen and began to pee.<br />
     &#8220;Rex!&#8221; Shouted Edith, &#8220;No! Bad Dog!&#8221; Rex looked up at her, his puppy face carrying an expression of: I&#8217;m sorry&#8230; my mistake, but I&#8217;ve already started and I just can&#8217;t stop&#8230; but when I&#8217;m done&#8230; I won&#8217;t do it again. When Rex had finished his relief, he wandered back into the living room where Mr. Beasley was watching soap operas on TV. Rex, crouching over Mr. Beasley&#8217;s house slippers which were laying next to the recliner, began to release several eggs of poop that fell to the shoes forming the classic spiraling dog poop shape and ending with a point like the tower on a brown ice cream cone. At that moment, Mr. Beasley decided to fetch himself a beer and, stepping into the slippers, was dismayed at the squishy, between-the-toes-melange, of texture and sand.<br />
     &#8220;Rex!&#8221; He shouted, &#8220;Bad Dog! Bad Dog!&#8221; He administered a kick to the abdomen of Rex causing him to run into the children&#8217;s room and throw up in the fish tank.<br />
     &#8220;Rex!&#8221; The children screamed. &#8220;BAD DOG!&#8221; By this time, Rex had become so incensed by the constant and repetitive shouting in the house of this phrase that he simply snapped. Running for the window, he took a flying leap through the glass and two stories down to the cement bottom of the empty pool. And this is where the story gets weird. One would think that a dog in such a state would just splat open like a watermelon, but this is not what happened that day. Rather, Rex bounced. The neighbors who had coincidentally observed the incident would swear Rex attained a height of at least one hundred feet before the fire that expelled from his butt like a rocket engine sent him shooting away at miraculous speed. Rex was never seen from nor heard from again.</p>
<p>     Perhaps there is a lesson to be learned from this tale. If you are going to shout at the dog again and again for pissing and pooping throughout the house and then kick him in the abdomen, for God&#8217;s sake, cover the fish bowl.</p>
<p>The End</p>
<p><strong>Poor Curser</strong></p>
<p>     I wasn&#8217;t going to take any poo poo today, no sir. If them surly fandangos fuck me on the road today, I&#8217;ll curse them vigorously and bring shame to their mothers. I pulled out of my drive way and into the road that would lead me to work. Sure enough, some silly dummy is driving like he just got out of traffic school kindergarten.<br />
     &#8220;Diggity split!&#8221; I angrily shouted to myself. &#8220;I knew it. I knew it! Diggity split!&#8221; My cackles raised to their zenith, I was bound and determined to show this stupid dog person that you don&#8217;t cross Stan Phladinski. Rolling down my window and pulling beside him as he posted his Plymouth before the stop light, I gave him a piece of my mind.<br />
     &#8220;You dumb man!&#8221; I shouted. &#8220;You drive like caca balls. You&#8217;re a silly coconut boy, you silly Sally man! Your mother is a big fat thing, mister. Your mother! Your mother!&#8221; That would show him who&#8217;s boss of the road. But to my amazement, he didn&#8217;t succumb to my insulting and cower as I had expected. Instead, he leaned over, rolled down the passenger window and said, &#8220;You say something to me, motherfucker?&#8221; I was stunned. Nobody had dared before to retaliate against my scathing and revered tongue.<br />
     &#8220;You think you&#8217;re just a jolly boy, don&#8217;t you.&#8221; I replied. &#8220;Well, you drive like a slobbering fool!&#8221; That would show him, I thought to myself. And just to put a punch on it, I said, &#8220;And don&#8217;t open up your mouth again, freak, or your hot air will come out.&#8221; Clever clever, I thought. My put downs are so clever that they baffle the darned old simpletons.<br />
     &#8220;Eat me, you fat piece of shit!&#8221; He shouted back, throwing food on me and screeching his tires before speeding through the red light.<br />
     &#8220;Law breaking dummy!&#8221; I said, marveling at his utter audacity. I&#8217;ll get him and tell him how dumb his mother is, yes sir. I floored the accelerator and plowed head first into the side of an ambulance. In my state of disarray, I prayed the Lord forgive me for screaming the vilest thing I have ever said.<br />
     &#8220;Gol dong dingity doo!&#8221; Oh the tragedy of my shame.</p>

<p>     One day while the vampire was at rest, Little Billy Baxter slipped in to the castle and sanded his pointy teeth down to nubs with a power file. When the vampire awoke and tried to feed on one of the village whores, he found his bite ineffective. Shortly thereafter, he died of blood starvation. See what happens when you don&#8217;t think of the consequences of your actions? You starve an innocent vampire who was just trying to survive like the rest of us. My God, the abhorrent misery of Vladimer&#8217;s pain.</p>

<p>     Bill was walking along the street when suddenly he was struck by a stray bullet fired by a small boy experimenting with a .22 caliber pistol he found in the woods where Ed the bank robber had stashed it after his successful theft of one hundred thousand dollars. Bill died.</p>
<p>     That day in the swamp, the Gopher Turtles found a way to get even with the alligators who had invaded their swimming area. While the alligators were sunning, they dug tunnels underneath them and planted small bombs. At a precise moment in time, the plunger was pushed and the alligators became airborne as a result of the ensuing explosion. They landed respectively on the Gopher Turtles, killing them. No gators or Gopher Turtles were ever seen again in the swamp. The other animals avoided the swamp in respect to the courageous Alligator Gopher Turtle Bomb Initiative that occurred there that day.</p>

<p>     A guy named Jim theorized that if he were to remove his shoes, he would actually be walking about half an inch off the ground where the sole of the shoe used to be. His theory, in application, proved to be correct. And shortly thereafter, he was hailed as the new Messiah until being crucified by irate Elvis impersonators.<br />
     &#8220;There can only be one king!&#8221; They shouted.</p>
<p>     Stanley Donavon was so excited to have been fortunate enough to ask the most beautiful girl in the school, Stella Alexandria, to the prom and have her say, yes. He had been grooming himself since early in the afternoon and now the moment had arrived. Stanley checked himself in the mirror one last time to be sure his hair was perfect, his tuxedo was unwrinkled, and his shoes were shining like diamonds when he suddenly noticed a small yellow zit in the middle of his forehead. He moved in for a closer look and was dismayed at the pustule peeking out like a third eye. But looking as insignificant as it did, Stanley felt sure he could pop it and have it not be noticed. He reached up and, centering the deposit between his thumb nails, began to apply pressure. But the thing was tough, like steak.<br />
     It seemed to Stan that the harder he pushed, the more it resisted. After several minutes of this, the effort only resulted in breaking the skin around the hard small follicle pellet which now seemed to have swollen with aggravation.<br />
     &#8220;I&#8217;ll be damned,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Now I look like a suited cyclops!&#8221; Resorting to stiffer measures, he dragged his plastic Bic razor across the offending bump in an attempt to shave off the tip. Sure enough, after repeated effort, a small nodule protruded through the coagulating discharge of blood. &#8220;Now we&#8217;re getting somewhere!&#8221; Said Stan.</p>
<p>     Grabbing a pair of tweezers, he delicately pinched and pulled the offending mass and with each new tug, a larger and larger chunk began to emerge. Feeling confident that he should now be able to easily force out the melange of compressed biology, he began again with his thumbs. Out shot a perfectly formed eyeball which bounced off the mirror with a splat and landed on the floor.<br />
     It was moving&#8230;<br />
     It was looking up at him&#8230;<br />
     &#8220;Daddy.&#8221; It said.</p>
<p>     In the horror of the moment, Stanley crushed it with his boot heel and began searching for a patch or something to cover his bleeding hole. He found a square bandage and after affixing it to his wound, he put on a layer of Bottle-O&#8217;-Tan, effectively masking the evidence.<br />
     The doorbell rang. He ran to the door and opened it revealing the subtle contours of Stella Alexandria&#8217;s supple body.<br />
     &#8220;Hello, Stanley.&#8221; She said.<br />
     She doesn&#8217;t notice, Stanley thought to himself.</p>
<p>     That night at the dance, they were the envy of their peers. She danced like a princess and he like a prince. They gazed at each other like lovers in the new fallen snow beneath a rainbow with beautiful violins and butterflies&#8230; and to spin. They strolled out into the patio and beneath the full moon, he embraced her and began to move in for the kill&#8230; I mean, kiss.<br />
     &#8220;Will it be like mother said it would?&#8221; She thought to herself while secretly removing her tampon with her right hand and casting it aside where several years later, it grew into a big red tree. Their lips touched, Stan&#8217;s tongue teasing its way into her delicious cherry mouth, and that&#8217;s when the blood gushed from the zit well like a waterfall, down Stan&#8217;s face and between their working lips.</p>
<p>     &#8220;Your saliva is so warm and salty,&#8221; Stan said.<br />
     &#8220;And yours is sweet with copper overtones.&#8221; She replied. She went to stroke his hair and two things happened simultaneously. Thing one was her thumb accidentally pressed through the tape and lodged in his head. Thing two was that she saw the blood gleaming with light from the full moon and she began screaming and running with Stan trying to keep up behind her yelling, &#8220;My eye hole! My eye hole!&#8221; Stella tugged again and again with her arm, jerking Stan&#8217;s head from side to side, doing more harm than good.<br />
     &#8220;You&#8217;re pushing on my rain-bluh-bluh.&#8221; He cried. Stan&#8217;s speech became garbled and parts of his body began to spasm uncontrollably. With a pop, the thumb came free and a flurry of eyeballs fired out of the socket.<br />
     They were looking&#8230;<br />
     And screaming&#8230;</p>
<p>     There was a flash&#8230; a jolt of electricity&#8230; and Stan bolted upright in his bed. His breathing labored&#8230; his pulse, ramped&#8230; sweat pouring from him as if from a soggy sponge. </p>
<p>     It was all a dream.</p>
<p>     Reaching up to feel his forehead, Stan found no blood, no hole, not even so much as a pimple. He breathed a sigh of relief, stumbled on his way out of the bed, and fell tip-first on his boner propelling it out through his asshole, out the window, and into the street where a passing dog got it in his mouth and strolled away.</p>
<p>     So the next time you&#8217;re feeling low and lonely, sad and blue, fear not! For we may all be but the dream of a butterfly.</p>
<p><strong>Unforgiven Birds</strong></p>
<p>     One day, Edith was walking down the street when suddenly a bird flew down from its nest and began pecking her head with strategic and technically advanced air maneuvers. She reached up to swat the bird away and broke the mother bird&#8217;s wing. The bird toppled uselessly to the ground, a twisted ruin.<br />
     &#8220;Teach you to peck at me.&#8221; The woman shouted. And she got a long stick and tipped the nest over, spilling half a dozen baby chicks. Then she jumped up and down on them as the helpless mother bird walked in circles. She pulled out a .45 caliber from her purse and blew the mother bird away in a spray of feathers and blood.<br />
     &#8220;I&#8217;m gonna&#8217; kill any bird I see. You hear me?&#8221; She peered into the trees. &#8220;Any bird tries to peck at me, I&#8217;ll kill &#8216;em. Any bird shits on my car, I&#8217;ll kill him, his wife, and the horse she rode in on. You hear me? I&#8217;ll kill ALL you birds. I&#8217;ll kill every one of you sons-o&#8217;-bitches!&#8221;<br />
     Then she walked quietly into the sunset.</p>
<p>Hey pretty girl<br />
Why don&#8217;t you unfurl<br />
Your pair of pearls<br />
Yo Pretty mama<br />
Don&#8217;t you wanna&#8217;<br />
Meet my iguana<br />
Listen sexy thing<br />
Why don&#8217;t you bring<br />
Out your love thing<br />
Hey mandango<br />
Did I see<br />
Your funky mango<br />
Googlianna<br />
Me wanna&#8217;<br />
Humana humana</p>
<p>She has a flat butt<br />
Let me tell you what<br />
Flatter than the desert sands<br />
Flatter than a pancake pan</p>
<p>Where should be a crack<br />
There is only a line<br />
She certainly has<br />
The flattest behind</p>
<p>Turn her over if you&#8217;re able<br />
For a unique coffee table<br />
And a place to put your pen<br />
In the center of her end</p>
<p><strong>Karate School</strong></p>
<p>     One day, Little Billy was walking to school when suddenly from behind a cluster of trees, Stinky Ed, the neighborhood bully, appeared.<br />
     &#8220;I&#8217;m going to beat you up, you little turd! And there ain&#8217;t nothing you can do about it.&#8221; Little Billy tried to run away but before he could get into gear, his head was already pummeled and bleeding. He fell to the ground, skinning his arm on the hard concrete, and began to cry. &#8220;That&#8217;s it, cry.&#8221; Said Stinky Ed. &#8220;Cry like a baby, you little maggot. You little sack of pus.&#8221; And then the bully grabbed the back of Little Billy&#8217;s undershorts and gave him a wedgie that pulled Billy&#8217;s ass crack up into his neck. All the children that had gathered to see what all the commotion was about, pointed and laughed at Billy&#8217;s shame.</p>
<p>     Several days later, Billy had saved enough money to get a private lesson with Sensei Dick Long, who was a black belt in Karate. The Master studied his student for some time, peering into his eyes, examining his balance and character. And then he spoke, his voice calm and serene.<br />
     &#8220;Perhaps you are unaware of the deeper sense of the martial arts, young Billy. You see, Violence only begets violence. What we put out, we receive. Instead, our philosophy at the Dick Long Academy is that we create strength through peace. To fight is only a last resort. Why don&#8217;t you try love instead. Love thine enemy, so says it in the Bible.&#8221; Billy took these words of wisdom to heart as he handed over his only twenty dollar bill. The next morning, he was walking the path to school when suddenly from behind a cluster of trees, came Stinky Ed.</p>
<p>     &#8220;Hey maggot boy. Didn&#8217;t you learn your lesson? I&#8217;m going to tear you a new asshole.&#8221; The voice of the Master rang in Billy&#8217;s head. Peace&#8230;love&#8230;peace&#8230;love. Billy mustered up all his courage and strength and with phenomenal conviction, he said, &#8220;I love you, Stinky Ed.&#8221;<br />
     Stinky Ed said, &#8220;So you ain&#8217;t just a maggot, you&#8217;re a faggot!&#8221; And he proceeded to wedge a rock in Billy&#8217;s mouth and repeatedly bang on Billy&#8217;s chin until his teeth were chipped, and he ran away.</p>
<p>     Billy returned to the Master. Sensei Long studied the morose face of Billy, and also the blood. &#8220;My boy, &#8221; he said, &#8220;Let us perform some breathing exercises which will strengthen your Ki. Ki is your internal life force that surrounds and protects you with light. Little Billy and the Master performed the exercises for several hours until Billy was absolutely convinced that he could triumph over his adversary. The following morning, Billy passed before the tree cluster and sure enough, Stinky Ed made his traditional appearance.<br />
     Billy confidently said, &#8220;Try as you might, oh vile boy, you shall find yourself unable to penetrate my Ki.&#8221;<br />
     &#8220;Penetrate your Ki?&#8221; The bully said, sarcastically. &#8220;I&#8217;ll penetrate you with a key.&#8221; And he toppled Little Billy and scraped him across the chest with his own house keys until he cried.</p>
<p>     Later that night, a knock came on the door to the Dojo where Master Dick Long was meditating. He slowly opened the door to reveal the battered and dark form of a small boy named Little Billy; His breath condensing in the frigid air, his eyes staring out in the night like those of a wounded animal thirsting for revenge. The Master said, &#8220;Have we tried the imposing Crane Stance yet?&#8221; Billy&#8217;s rage could be contained no longer and he charged the Master with a lunging claw for the throat. Unfortunately, you can&#8217;t just go up to a martial arts expert and perform this type of technique successfully with little or no experience. Sensei Dick Long easily sidestepped the attack, pulling Billy&#8217;s heart out of his chest, followed by a reverse kick to the groin sending it propelling out of his asshole, and he died.</p>
<p>The End</p>
<p><strong>Epilogue:</strong><br />
     Stinky Ed enrolled for classes at the Dick Long Academy using money he had stolen from his victims. He studied karate and Zen breathing techniques, and became serene and peace loving.</p>
<p>     What you are about to read is no ordinary story with fleshed out characters and a compelling plot winding up in a tidy finale. This is a story written purely from the heart with no editing, no contrived dialogue that is rewritten again and again to a dull zenith of perfection. Instead, this is a story of pure and unadulterated love. It is an exercise in futility and a compendium of mouth vomit. In essence, this is the personification of why you should go fuck yourself with a six foot double-headed dildo, and my name is Max Fundillicutty.</p>
<p>     The air was smelly and olfactory in its smelling, and from the depths of the trees that lined either side of the highway, there came a scream of such horrendous maniacal horror that it chilled the animal life that normally sang there to a dead silence. Then the trees parted and a gargantuan naked woman of three-hundred pounds came like a bulldozer, her amorphous gonzillos swinging in the wind like crushing balls used to level buildings. She stood centered over the broken yellow line of the highway and waited for the coming of the car. Sure enough, the rev of the engine sounded on the breeze, and the low sparkle of light peered over the horizon of the hill. She tensed her girth and began to run forward, slowly at first with a low growl, then faster and faster until she clomped along full steam ahead at thirty miles per hour. The headlights rose from her feet to her outcroppings and then the driver of the vehicle saw her, his mouth a frozen O of horror. He had meant to put all his strength into his outstretched arm to lay on the horn, but things were moving so fast&#8230; she came like a meteor&#8230; her boobs!<br />
     The collision was a sight to behold. The car literally split in two around the behemoth. And the driver of the car, a Mr. Stan Obromowitz, flew forward into her cleavage where she compressed him between her bosoms with her mighty hands and flailed her body from side to side, whipping the poor man around like Sunday taffy. Shortly thereafter, a rip at his torso caused his lower half to be cast aside and what was within the body cavity was flung to the surrounding pavement with several slaps resembling the weak applause of a small audience. What happened next, I can not tell for the sheer vileness that occurred. Let it just be said that she needed to feed, and the primal carnage I witnessed was so gruesome that I might have laughed in hysterics had it not been true.</p>
<p>     Little Ed was reading in his comic book when he came to a catalog page filled with magic tricks and practical jokes. &#8220;Neat-O!&#8221; Ed said to himself. The page was a child&#8217;s paradise. It displayed everything a little boy would want: Stink-O-Bomb, See Through the Dress Glasses, Itching Powder, Sand Gum, Disappearing Puppy, Knife Through the Hand, Rubber Doody, Burn Face Makeup, Butt Stick Toilet Seat, Brine Shrimp illustrated to look like fish with poodle heads, and every kid&#8217;s dream, the four dollar fully functioning Submersible Nuclear Submarine.<br />
     Ed sent in his order form and anxiously awaited for his package to arrive. Two weeks later, the mailman brought the goods, and Ed immediately took to the streets to enact his sinister plans: Trick number two-hundred and thirteen&#8230;Dart Bird. This was a rubber bird with a dart affixed to it so one could propel it from a dart gun at a passing car. Ed hid behind the bushed and waited as a car approached.</p>
<p>     Inside the car were Phil Phillips and his wife, Edna. Their two children were seated in the back and they all were singing The Old Rugged Cross on their way to church. Suddenly, Phil saw the glimpse of a flappy feathered thing heading straight for him.<br />
     &#8220;Jesus, save us!&#8221; Phil shouted as he swerved to avoid the bird, and he ran into a tree killing his family and himself. Ed chuckled as he ran from the carnage.</p>
<p>     Next, Ed walked up to an elderly woman who was waiting to cross the street. He told her he was a boy scout and he needed to do his good deed for the day. So the woman, whose name was Elma, stepped forward into the road reaching out for little Ed&#8217;s hand. She hardly could have noticed the Joy Buzzer poised to go off at the slightest touch. When she made contact, the effects of the toy scared her so much that her heart gave out and she dropped to her knees, a heaving clump of humanity. Ed ran away, giggling, as a car barreled over the old lady&#8217;s tortured frame.</p>
<p>     Little Ed found a small frail boy that all the school children teased and called Wheezy, because of his asthma.<br />
     &#8220;Hey,&#8221; said Little Ed, &#8220;Wanna&#8217; be friends?&#8221;<br />
     &#8220;Friends?&#8221; Wheezy replied. &#8220;But you usually beat me up.&#8221;<br />
     &#8220;No, no&#8230;&#8221; Little Ed reassured him, &#8220;I like you. I want to be your friend. Look! I have some candy.&#8221; And Ed offered some delicious looking blue confections.<br />
     &#8220;Gee, thanks.&#8221; Wheezy said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve never had a friend before.&#8221; He began to eat the candy, which tasted quite delicious, and he never took notice of the blue melange foaming from his mouth.<br />
     &#8220;Ha ha!&#8221; Said Little Ed, Pointing. &#8220;Now you got blue shit on your lips. Now your lips are blue!&#8221; And then he beat Wheezy until he wheezed and ran, dropping his breather.</p>
<p>     Little Ed found a spot in a cluster of bushes and made what he later referred to as a war camp. He began breathing the breather and getting high off the fumes. He found this pursuit to be helpful in giving his mind the incentive it needed to create and execute bigger and bolder plans. Like the Push the Girl Off the Mountain Trick, or the Machine Gun Into the Crowd Trick, or the Exploding Rectal Pet Thermometer. He began to expand, butting together his own catalog and comic book and got thousands of children to buy his products. Soon, he had a well organized army and they set out to conquer and divide the entire free world.</p>
<p>     Fortunately, their efforts were thwarted by the atmosphere somehow catching fire. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, &#8220;To the dull mind, all nature is leaden. To the illumined mind the whole world burns and sparkles with light.&#8221;</p>
<p>I am trying<br />
Let me in<br />
For some tea<br />
And company</p>
<p>Let me in<br />
In your arms<br />
In your grasp</p>
<p>Hold me hold tightly<br />
Do not let me<br />
Slip away</p>
<p>Together<br />
We are one<br />
And alone<br />
I am no one</p>

<span style="color:#0000ff;font-size:x-small;">end of the year</span></p>
<p>i</p>
<p>haven’t written much lately</p>
<p>but there is still drinking</p>
<p>smoking cigarettes and</p>
<p>marijuana</p>
<p>all the poet’s vices</p>
<p>and idea makers and shakers</p>
<p>with the split pea soup</p>
<p>on the pot</p>
<p>and fingers on the run</p>
<p>pecking out more of a</p>
<p>ramble than a poem</p>
<p>this poet enjoys the gold</p>
<p>in cuervo especial</p>
<p>and me in only a towel</p>
<p>my neck cracks</p>
<p>like a machine gun</p>
<p>the blinds are closed</p>
<p>the light is out</p>
<p>heading into next year</p>
<p>right after christmas</p>
<p>1999</p>
<p>seems like a song i heard yesterday<br />
<BR><br />
<span style="color:#0000ff;font-size:x-small;">resolutions for the new    year</span></p>
<p>it&#8217;s a new year</p>
<p>and i resolve</p>
<p>to continue drinking</p>
<p>smoking</p>
<p>writing</p>
<p>fucking</p>
<p>trying to fall in love and failing</p>
<p>fucking</p>
<p>avoiding creditors</p>
<p>staining my teeth with coffee</p>
<p>fucking</p>
<p>and i resolve to</p>
<p>check out</p>
<p>at my appointed time</p>
<p>maybe this year</p>
<p>maybe the next<br />
<BR><br />
<span style="color:#0000ff;font-size:x-small;">poetry and dingleberries</span></p>
<p>some poets</p>
<p>remember every word</p>
<p>they ever wrote</p>
<p>and can read their work</p>
<p>anywhere</p>
<p>off the cuff</p>
<p>as for me</p>
<p>I’m not that</p>
<p>bright</p>
<p>without paper</p>
<p>I’m nothing</p>
<p>but at least</p>
<p>I don’t</p>
<p>walk around the</p>
<p>town</p>
<p>with a</p>
<p>dirty</p>
<p>ass.<br />

<span style="color:#0000ff;font-size:x-small;">another cigarette poem</span></p>
<p>the</p>
<p>smoke from my</p>
<p>smoke</p>
<p>is young and old</p>
<p>together</p>
<p>floating off</p>
<p>into the air</p>
<p>like snow</p>
<p>the ashes</p>
<p>grow</p>
<p>out and off</p>
<p>down and gone</p>
<p>up goes the smoke</p>
<p>down go the ashes</p>
<p>out go the</p>
<p>2 girls</p>
<p>the skin head boy</p>
<p>watches after</p>
<p>he wants to</p>
<p>fuck them</p>
<p>once</p>
<p>and then</p>
<p>hate them for being</p>
<p>sluts</p>
<p>I had better</p>
<p>put this out</p>
<p>before the</p>
<p>filter burns</p>
<p>and the stars</p>
<p>wink out</p>
<p>and the moon</p>
<p>drops into</p>
<p>the sea</p>

<p>into the dust.<br />

<span style="color:#0000ff;font-size:x-small;">I monster</span></p>
<p>I am the dirty thing</p>
<p>in the closet</p>
<p>under the bed</p>
<p>in your underwear</p>
<p>I have no love</p>
<p>for you</p>
<p>you’ll open the door</p>
<p>you’ve been</p>
<p>expecting me</p>
<p>and my cock</p>
<p>will fuck your ass</p>
<p>with no mind…</p>
<p>animal!</p>
<p>Fuck you</p>
<p>like an object</p>
<p>and you are a thing</p>
<p>like me</p>
<p>you’ll say</p>
<p>thank you</p>
<p>when I leave</p>
<p>my cum on your face</p>
<p>and marks where</p>
<p>my claws have been</p>
<p>you’ll think about me</p>
<p>every day but</p>
<p>I’ll forget about you</p>
<p>like money you give</p>
<p>to a stranger</p>
<p>never expecting</p>

<p>a trip</p>
<p>down the toilet</p>
<p>in the shit of a priest</p>

<span style="color:#0000ff;font-size:x-small;">Things You Can Do &#8211;    1999</span></p>
<p>1. Bring helium balloons to an old folk’s home and tie    them into everyone’s hair.</p>
<p>2. Pay for City Hall to close down a street for a parade    you’re planning. On the day of the parade, walk down the    street.</p>
<p>3. Go into the library and shout at the librarian, &#8220;I     DON’T HEAR VERY WELL! WHERE DID YOU SAY THE HUSTLER MAGAZINES    ARE?&#8221;</p>
<p>4. Kill a mosquito with a needle.</p>
<p>5. Pull the wings off of an Africanized honey bee and put it in    a red ant pile. That’ll show that motherfucker!</p>
<p>6. Tell your boyfriend or girlfriend you’re from Mars, and    then anally probe them with a kitchen utensil.</p>
<p>7. Try to get a cat and a snake to fuck each other.</p>
<p>8. Fondle a parrot, but don’t repeat yourself.</p>
<p>9. Pull a fish out of the water, and when it opens and closes    its mouth for air, put a little chewing gum in there.</p>
<p>10. Fill a squirt gun with milk and shoot cows in the mouth    with it.</p>
<p>11. Go into a church, and when everybody is silent for a moment    of prayer, shout, &#8220;I DON’T HEAR SO WELL! WHERE DID YOU SAY    THE HUSTLER MAGAZINES ARE?&#8221;</p>
<p>12. Go to a hospital and find the maternity ward. Switch out    one of the babies for a porcupine.</p>
<p>13. Go to the most expensive restaurant in town and order the    steak and lobster, to go. Eat your food in the patio of the    Homeless Shelter. If any of the hungry homeless people ask for    some, say, &#8220;Get away from me. Can’t you see I’m    eating?&#8221;</p>
<p>14. Ride on the public bus system with a turkey neck hanging    out of your pants.</p>
<p>15. Next time you’re out at a club, try the following    pick-up lines and see which ones work the best:<br />
<BR><br />
· Feel like gerbiling?</p>
<p>· Anyone ever tell you you’re buttfucking ugly?</p>
<p>· So, what’s it gonna’ cost me to get you into bed?</p>
<p>· Nice tits. Where’d you buy ‘em?</p>
<p>· You’d love me. My dick is shaped like a starfish.<br />

<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#0000ff;font-size:x-small;">Football &#8211; A Play for 2 Male Actors</span></p>
<p>Ed and Bob are sitting on a park bench, talking.<br />
<BR><br />
<span style="color:#ff9999;">Ed</span>: I was watching you last    night.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Bob</span>: Really?</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Ed</span>: Yes. Out there on the field.    At the football game.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Bob</span>: We kicked their asses.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Ed</span>: I know… but YOU were    great.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Bob</span>: Really?</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Ed</span>: The way you threw the ball to    the receivers?</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Bob</span>: That was the easy stuff.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Ed</span>: But then, in the last few    minutes of the game, you ran it in</p>
<p>for a touchdown.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Bob</span>: Just a lucky play. But we    sure kicked their asses. What a</p>
<p>game.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Ed</span>: The way the coach patted you    on the butt…</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Bob</span>: What a game.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Ed</span>: …and then, all the    players patted you on the butt.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Bob</span>: Yeah. They were    congratulating me for the touchdown.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Ed</span>: And I wondered if maybe    later…</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Bob</span>: Now wait just a    minute…</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Ed</span>: …maybe later…    YOU’D let ME pat you on the butt.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Bob</span>: Hey… um…    that’s just a football thing. It doesn’t mean</p>
<p>anything.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Ed</span>: It means something to me.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Bob</span>: No… that’s    okay.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Ed</span>: Bob?</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Bob</span>: No.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Ed</span>: Do you think I could…</p>
<p>Bob: No way, man.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Ed</span>: …just pat you on the    butt?</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Bob</span>: No.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Ed</span>: Just one time? Just one little    pat on the butt?</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Bob</span>: Listen man, are you queer or    something?</p>
<p>(There is a long pause.)</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Ed</span>: Can I pat you on the butt?</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Bob</span>: Maybe if you played football,    but you don’t.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Ed</span>: I could learn. I could learn    the rules. I could study the plays.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Bob</span>: It just… wouldn’t    be the same.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Ed</span>: But we’re friends, Bob.    Friends! Not like those guys on the</p>
<p>field, who you see just for practice, and for the big games.</p>
<p>We see each other every day. We eat together; go to the movies</p>
<p>together, laugh together, and yes, sometimes even cry together.</p>
<p>So I’m asking you, not as your team mate, but as your friend.</p>
<p>Can I pat your butt?</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Bob</span>: Are you sure you’re not    gay?</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Ed</span>: Just one time, and I’ll    never ask again.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Bob</span>: If I do, you won’t tell    anybody, will you?</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Ed</span>: I promise. It’ll be our    little secret.</p>
<p>Bob: Well… okay. Just this once. (Bob offers his ass.)</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Ed</span>: (Pats Bob’s butt a couple of times, like a little girl.) Thank you, Bob.</p>
<p>Friend! My best and only friend! Thank you!.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Bob</span>: Don’t mention it.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff9999;">Ed</span>: Can I suck your dick?</p>

<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"> </p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"><strong>#1 &#8211; A Double Dirty Girl</strong></p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"> </p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     Little Wendy Snapsnatch was crawling along in the dirt when she noticed her dress was dirty.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     “Oh, look at my dress,” she said, “It’s dirty, just like the writer of this story said it was. Fuck him!”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     “Well sorry, bitch!” I exclaimed, “You get put down the way it’s happening and there ain’t nothing you can do about it. Now crawl in the dirt and get to the next bit before you bore the reader. This isn’t all about you, you know.”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     She continued crawling through the dirt just as written, but soon revolted again.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     “No! I won’t do it. I reject your writing. I don’t want to be a dirty girl. I want to be a princess. Why can’t you write me as a princess?”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     I told her I don’t do that kind of writing. I write hysterically gross shit. Starting a story called, ‘A Double Dirty Girl’ with a girl crawling around in the dirt is what I’m all about. I told her she had as much of a chance of being a princess as she did of not using dirty language, which would be the second play on the title of the story, ‘A Double Dirty Girl’. She’d not only be dirty, she’d talk dirty. That’s two! That’s double! Hence, the title! And then, I wrote this dialogue which is exactly what she said next.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     “You can suck my shit! You can eat my balls, fucking vomit-whore cunt-monkey! You cock sucking faggot-fucking cock-sucking…”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     And I said, “The mouth on you, bitch! You talk like a dirty girl. Hence, the title, just one more time. Now who’s got the upper hand? And besides, your dress is covered in dirt. That’s two ways I got you; your dirty mouth and your dirty dress. There’s no place left to go. Give it up. If I made you a princess, you’d still be covered in shit. This is what I do for a living. Don&#8217;t fuck with me, slut.”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     And in chapter two, she&#8217;s a princess covered in shit and there was nothing she could do about it.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     Later in the story, I gave her a set of amphibian gills and two assholes.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">The End</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"> </p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"><strong>#1 &#8211; The Second Story in a Series of Stories in a Book I Titled, Stuff I Wrote That Gave Me Crabs, by Tom Miller.</strong></p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"><strong>Mub</strong></p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"> People didn’t like Mub. They didn’t like his name, they didn’t like his boils, and they especially didn’t like how he sang.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"> He was a Karaoke regular and always sang the same song, sometimes three times a night. He sang the song, Jingle Bells; always, Jingle Bells.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"> And we’d yell from the back, “Mub! Stop singing that fucking song. We hate Jingle Bells. Nobody sings Jingle Bells for Karaoke unless it’s Christmas; Christmas in Japan. What the fuck is a Jingle Bell?”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"> And he’d yell back at us, “Mub!” That’s all he said. “Mub mub mub… mub mub mub MUB MUB!” Jingle bells would be playing in the background while he was trying to make his point. This would make us laugh because he kept saying the word, ‘mub’, instead of singing the song. So we’d taunt him and tell him how dumb he was. And he’d have no option but to assert himself so as to avoid being picked upon. But his response only made him look stupider because all he would do is say, “Mub mub mub,” over and over again while the music of Jingle Bells was playing in the background. It’s the only way we could get any worthwhile entertainment out of the guy because when he sings the song, he just sings:</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">Mub Mub Mub<br />
Mub Mub Mub<br />
Mub Mub Mub.. Mub-Mub</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">Mub Mub Mub Mub Mub Mub Mub<br />
Mub-Mub Mub Mub Mub Mub Mub… Mub</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">And that makes people not like him.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">But I gotta’ tell you, he was a lot better than Bloob.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">Bloob always sang Jingle Bells too, but who wants to hear;</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">Bloob bloob bloob<br />
Bloob bloob bloob</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">Bloob bloob bloob bloob bloob…</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"> </p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"> </p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"> </p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"><strong>#1,<br />
#2,<br />
#4 &#8211; Bloob  (Not a Limerick)</strong></p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">There once was a guy named, Bloob<br />
Who only sang Jingle Bells<br />
He sang better than Mub,<br />
But worse than my mom,<br />
Who’s crawling around in the dirt, cursing.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"> </p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"><strong>#1 &#8211; Further Picking on Mub</strong></p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">Some guys tried to pick on Mub, but there’s no way to do that and avoid picking the scabs on his numerous boils, which all sing Jingle Bells with their little pussy mouths. (It’s funny how in writing, one means to pluralize the word, ‘pus’, the leaky response from the body to infection, vs. the word, ‘pussy’, which is a female’s leaky response from the body to infection or also infection). And I believe, if both definitions are correct, that a pus-pussy can also sing the words to Jingle Bells, and you can put a Jingle Bell inside one. But it won’t ring anymore and it will be infected.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"> </p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"> </p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"><strong>#11 &#8211; Words That Are Spelled Differently but Mean the Same Thing</strong></p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"><strong>Mom:</strong> One’s Mother.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"><strong>Mom:</strong> When a person moans but they have a cleft palette and their N’s and M’s sound alike; as in, “Mom. Yeah, hot. mom. Fuck me. mom. mom. I’m moming, mom. Oh God, mom. mom.” And they’re saying, “Moan,” but it sounds like, “Mom”. That’s the wrong impression to be giving unless you moan when you fuck your mom. In which case you’d be saying, “Mom, yeah, I’m moming for you mom. Good, mom. Mom, mom, oh mom mom mom,” which is completely different.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"><strong>Meow:</strong> When a person moans but they have a cleft palette and their OW’s sound like M’s; as in, “Meow! Fuck yeah! Get that hot cock in there. MEOW! God, mom that hurts. MEOW! MEOW! Now feed me some cream. Meow! Meow! Eat that sushi off my tits. Meow! Meow! Where’s my kitty litter? I have diarrhea.”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">For the record, meow is spelled exactly like mom, which means to moan.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"> </p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"><strong>#7 &#8211; Misunderstanding</strong></p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"><strong></strong></p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">I said to him, “You are insulting me.”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">He said, “You mean, when I called you a pinga muncher?”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">“Yes,” he replied. “I know that in Spanish, pinga means penis. So you’re saying I munch on Penises.”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">“You’re not Spanish,” I protested. “You must munch on dick.”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">“So now you’re saying I’m not Spanish? I am in fact Spanish, sir. Another insult!”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">“Well if you’re Spanish,” I barked, “Then you can’t munch penises. You have to munch pingas. Otherwise, you’d be an American.”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">“Now you’re insulting Americans,” He said.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">“Only if they’re pinga suckers,” I replied.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">“I’m a Spanish American, an American who is of Spanish decent.”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">“Oh, I’m sorry,” I said. “Why didn&#8217;t you say so in the first place. We must have had a misunderstanding.”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">And then we blew each other in the bathroom and were arrested for being Senators from two countries; Mexico and Miami.</p>

<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"><strong>#6 &#8211; Story #8</strong></p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     Story #9 was so poorly written that a deal was struck between story #10 and story #12 that story #11 would proceed story #10 and become story #9, if and only if story #11 agreed, in which case story #9 would become story #11. To make a long story short, story #9 and story #11 changed places with the permission of story #10 and story #12 who both agreed that story #9 as written was so poorly written.<br />

<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"><strong>#7 &#8211; This is Not Story #9</strong></p>

<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     Once upon a time, there was a man who not know English good and sucked as many pingas as possible until he was arrested for being a Senator from two different countries; Mongolia and San Francisco, which is not a country but is in negotiations with other countries to be a country if Story #10 and #12 agree.<br />
 </p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"><strong>#9 &#8211; I am Story #11</strong></p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     Hello. My name is Story #11. Earlier on in this document, it was claimed I agreed to switch my numerical title with another story. This is not the case. To make matters clear and so there is no misunderstanding, I am a story about munching pingas and I was written much better than story #6, who is now taking credit for what was originally work written as me. So I am retracting my arrangement with story #10 and #12 as mentioned as a matter of record in story #8, and rewriting my original story as story #11 which follows this one. Yes, I know this is story #10 entitled story #11, but I am story #11 and you’ll read me next.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"> </p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"><strong>#10 &#8211; I am Story #10</strong></p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">He’s lying. He’s lying! I’m me. I’m the real thing. Don’t listen to him. I can prove it. Just look at my title. It says very clearly, 11. I am Story #10. Would I be story #10 if I was story #11?<br />

<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"><strong>#11 &#8211; The Pimple on the Exact Center of my God Damned Nose</strong><br />
 </p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     One day, I awoke to discover a pimple on the exact center of my God damned nose. A pimple off to one side or up under the nostril is hardly noticed. But a pimple on the exact center of my God damned nose stands out like a pimple on the exact center of my God damned nose. Friends come up to me and say, “What’s up with the nose pimple?” Believe me, they notice.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     I kind of pushed on it hoping maybe a coagulated hair pustule might pop out, but this just made it bigger, angrier, and bleed. So now there was a pimple on the exact center of my God damned nose with a scab on the exact center of it. In the King’s English of modern day, this is known as a, ‘prom pimple’. Because whenever a boy takes a girl to the prom or vice versa, one of the two is guaranteed to have a pimple on the exact center of their God damned nose. It’s generally caused by stress or diet or excess oil on the face due to a condition. But I wasn’t going to the prom so I wasn’t stressed out, my skin isn’t excessively oily, my diet has thus far produced perfectly clear skin. No, this was something else. This was a vengeance pimple. This was some kind of revenge.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     Over the month, the pimple got better and worse. I just couldn’t stop trying to pick off that scab. I couldn’t stop pushing on the pimple, hoping to pop the son-ova-bitch. Sometimes, I’d leave it alone for a day or two and it would get better, but not so much better to where I didn’t notice enough of a scab for me to pick. Soon, I got so frustrated with it I told it I was going to worry the fuck out of it. I said, “Fuck you, dude. You’re going down ugly.” And I got some tweezers and pulled off the scab and dug around in there with the pointy end to see if I could pry out a coagulated pus ball. I was met with failure on several levels; a bigger pimple, a bigger scab, no pus ball, and copious blood.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     I lost my girlfriend over this.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     It’s been three months now, and the pimple was just about healed when I clipped off the tip with a small pair of scissors. It bled for hours and when the blood dried into a scab, I picked it.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     One day, hopefully in the near future, this pimple on the exact center of my God damned nose will have run its course. And when that day comes, I fully expect I&#8217;ll contract genital warts, pink eye, or cancer. But it will no doubt be off to one side.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">God willing, it will at the very least be off to one side.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"> <br />

<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"><strong>#10 &amp; #9 &#8211; Stupid Poker</strong></p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     The boys was dumb, alright. Dumber than a dead mule caught on a fishin’ line. Mules don’t even eat worms, not off’n a hook, anyhow. And what’s he doing in the water? Trying to breath down there? Naw, I’m talking dumb. Some dumb ass boys. That’s why the fight broke out that night. That’s why Elmore is dead.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     I dealt out the cards, one buh one. I can tell this story because I knew how to count cards from years of cheatin’, so I knows what they all had from one hand to the next. You got Elmore, Bubba, Festus, and Gubba Bubba, who’s relations with Mama Gubba Bubba and Jeba Dubba Hubba Blubber, but he ain’t alive any more on account of his nose pimple getting outta’ control, getting all infected, and he died. You know that damn thing was in the exact center of his God damned nose? Freaky shit, man. Freaky shit.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     Elmore gets two aces. He had the game. Bubba got a two of hearts and a six of clubs. He folds right off. Festus gets him the other two aces. What are the chances of that happening? Pretty good, I reckon. I had about twelve in there. And Gubba Bubba gets a queen and a three; about the queerest hand I ever did saw. But then again, Gubba Bubba did like the men on occasion, out there in the woods with the goat and all that. I try not to mention it. It really don’t have nothing to do with this here story anyhow, not that I was ever watching it happen again and again over a period of days before the goat got syphilis. He dead.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     Anyways, Elmore gets up and says, “Did I lose? This game’s fixed!” He said that because he didn’t know how to play poker, not even after four years of trying. I told him we was just getting started and there was more cards to come, but he pulled out his gun to fire on Gubba Bubba ‘cause he was the queerest one. And on the way out of the holster, the gun cocked cause it was in backwards and he shot his own mouth off. He’s still alive, but he talks like a retard, and that’s on top of the fact that he is one.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     Wait a minute. Sorry. He’s dead. God damn, I’m stupid. He’s the one I told you that died at the top of the story. Shit. Fuck me. I couldn’t have screwed up the story more. He’s dead. It was everybody else that lived, minus the goat. But I’m getting to which one, and I’m taking the long way.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     So anyhow, I give Gubba Bubba a couple more cards, three I think, and that’s not the right way to deal. But nobody knows it, and neither did I at the time because I was so fucking stupid. I took a sip of my whiskey and said, “I’m cheating! I got me about twelve aces in this deck and I’m counting out the cards so I know if I’m gonna win or not.&#8217;</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     Gubba Bubba says, “Well who won then?” And I said, “I did, you dumb ass.”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     And I took the money and walked out of there. I left all them stupid people behind. I left Elmore and he’s dead, now that I think about it. I left Festus. Nobody liked him anyway. I left Bubba and Gubba Bubba, and the two of them got together and had butt babies, I reckon; Bubba Gubba Hubba Bubba Goat Babies who all turned fag and probably died of Syphilis. And I went to get me a drink, but the man at the gas station told me, we don’t take no plastic chips for whiskey. You gotta’ bring real money in here. And I fought with that gas station attendant for quite some time before he realized how stupid I was. He knew how stupid I was though, cause during the fight I was punching my own face as hard as I could and I damn near knocked me out until that other fella’ won.</p>

<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"><strong>#1 Again &#8211; Animal</strong><br />
 <br />
All I wanted to do was fuck. It shouldn’t have been what it became. It should have been simple. It’s all in who you get, really. You might get a romantic, you might get a hooker, or you might get an animal. That’s what I got on that fucked up night; an animal. And all I wanted to do was fuck.<br />
 <br />
She was sweet at first. We talked about the kinds of things that let you know whether you have a romantic, a hooker, or an animal. There are questions that seasoned people who like to fuck know how to ask. Normally, by what the answers are, you can figure it out. But this one totally threw me for a loop. This one got by me.<br />
 <br />
<strong>The romantic questions:</strong> Would you like to go out to dinner? What color are your eyes? Could I search for myself and find me in you? Mind if I light a candle?<br />
 <br />
<strong>The hooker questions:</strong> How much? You clean? Got any crack? What is this scab here? Would you mind taking a shower?<br />
 <br />
<strong>And the animal questions:</strong> You lay eggs? Eight tits? Who shaves you and how often? You like peanut butter? Why is your dick bigger than mine? Rabies?<br />
 <br />
All I wanted to do was fuck. It shouldn’t have gone down like it did, but it did. It went down and it went down ugly. Maybe I should have seen the signs; a vagina the size of my head, a beak, webbed feet, feathers and wings, can run 40 miles an hour…<br />
 <br />
I mounted her and I was inside, thrusting, when suddenly she bucked and ran. I realized in that very moment I was fucking an ostrich. Who knew! I asked all the fucking questions. Bitch lied to me. I held on for dear life. She jumped a fence and I fell off and fractured my boner. There was blood and squawking, a whole lot of squawking.<br />
 <br />
It did a U-turn and started kicking my head into the mud. It did an ostrich dance on my screaming fucking head, and my eye popped out and I shit myself. Quoting a line from my favorite poet, Ron Palovcik, I said, “Is this love?”<br />
 <br />
And she squawked back at me, “SQUAAAAK”. Another lie!</p>

<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     I don’t believe in you. I think you are a made up story. Maybe the most ridiculous story I have ever heard. But here I am writing about you, cursing your name. Maybe I am the most ridiculous story you ever heard. Maybe you don’t believe in me. But believe me, I’m as real as I think I am and as ridiculous as I think you are. So when I get to the pearly gates of Heaven, if that’s the way I’m going, I hope you’ll give me a pass. If I don’t make it into the club and have to burn in the eternal flames of Satan, who I also don’t believe in, I hope he finds me as imaginary as you. Otherwise, I’m totally fucked.<br />

I got some Raid and found her web<br />

<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">I went to get a spoon so I could<br />
Eat some Miso soup.<br />
And on the spoon was something gross,<br />
A tiny log of poop.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">I knew a roach had dropped his load<br />
And soiled all my silverware<br />
I got some Raid and found his lair<br />
And sprayed his face so much he pooped.<br />

And it cried a noisy shriek<br />
I got some Raid and sprayed it down<br />
So I could get some sleep</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">The lady was irate with me<br />
And punched me in the eye<br />
I sprayed her face with Raid<br />
Until that screaming cunt bag died</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">Her husband came and yelled at me<br />
And tried to intervene<br />
I got some Raid and sprayed him down<br />
And he stopped being mean</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">I laid my head down, tried to sleep<br />
To get much needed rest<br />
A spider, wasp and roach showed up<br />
And bit and stung and pooped-on-my-tongue</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">The cops arrived and maced my face<br />
I peed myself and made my case<br />
They tasered me upon my penis<br />
And all I could do was to ask for leniency.<br />

<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"><strong>#Onety-Four &#8211; Man vs. Roach</strong></p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">I was looking at myself in the mirror when I saw two antennas wiggling around at the edge of the frame. Doesn&#8217;t this roach know I have a zero tolerance policy toward all bugs in my house? It mocks me. I should get the scissors and snip the ends off its antennas to cause it grievous pain. I&#8217;m going to murder this creature. The roaches can have it when I&#8217;m done, and no sooner. I slowly lifted the mirror off the wall and leaned it over so as to see behind it. There he was. He was looking at me. I could hear his thoughts. &#8220;Yeah, so what? What are you going to do about it? You and me, mister. This is the end of the world.&#8221;</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">I took the mirror over to the toilet and popped it against the seat. The roach dropped in. &#8220;You&#8217;re in the sea now. I am God. I control the sea.&#8221; I flushed it. The waters churned up and the roach and my log of shit spun around. Poseidon awaits, you scourge. Down you go to Davy Jones&#8217; locker. Off to the ninth circle of hell. It&#8217;s been a pleasure, Mr. Bond. Let&#8217;s have our martini stirred. Thank you for playing. See you on the other side. Give my regards to Natalie Wood. And eat my shit on your way down there.&#8221;</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">But the water did not go down. This old apartment plumbing was a hit and miss, a three flusher at times. Fucking Mexicans, I thought. If a kike did the pipes, this never would have happened. He crawled up on the log of shit and got his breath. He looked at me. I could hear his thoughts. &#8220;What now, God? Free will. I&#8217;m going to beat you. I know something about you.&#8221;</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">On the toilet was a can of Lysol disinfectant spray, and this was indeed an infection. I got the can and aimed the spray nozzle at the roach, the rather big and powerful roach that stood atop my log of shit, slowly spinning. &#8220;I got this spray here, and buddy, you are going down.&#8221; I sprayed the roach in the face.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">He stood defiantly. I brought the full brunt of the spray to bear; I put the spray right to him. I heard him. You&#8217;ll have to do better. You&#8217;ll have to do better than this to put me out. I was here first. You are the only infection in the house. What impudence. I unloaded half the can before the log of shit rolled over and he sunk beneath the water.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">The fucker was swimming down there. He was washing off the poison. He was swimming and powerful. He reached the side and started climbing up. It was as if he was coming up the side of the bowl to get me, to overpower me somehow and take my things. There was an intention. I could hear his thoughts. Is that all you have? Is this what you&#8217;re made of? You could have simply crushed me, but you cower behind your Lysol. You can&#8217;t stand the sight of me, the smell of me. You&#8217;d die if you touched me. I&#8217;m going to climb out of this bowl and fly at your face. All I have to do is touch you. All I have to do is touch you.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">I got the shaving cream. Yes, it was cowardly. I flushed again, and the water oozed down the sides washing him back into the maelstrom. He climbed on my turd and slowly rotated around. I could see through his eyes my own big face slowly turning. He kept his eyes on me. This thing sees me. It&#8217;s reacting to me. It knows me. It wants to kill me. It&#8217;s me or him. This is the end of the world.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">I covered his eyes with shaving cream. I brought my next weapon to bear. He couldn&#8217;t breathe. He couldn&#8217;t see. I coated him, smothered him with shaving cream. Now you see your end, I thought. Now you know your master. I am God. I control the seas. Asta La Vista. Arrivederci. Don&#8217;t let the door hit you where the good Lord split you. And give my best to Steve Irwin. You&#8217;re breaking my heart.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">But the water did not fully go down. And the roach swam with even more vigor, beneath the water, washing off the shaving cream and coming to rest on my spinning turd. He spun there. I could see the effort of his breathing. He looked me in the eyes. You are the Devil, he said. I could hear his mind. If only I could touch you, you would die. Your fear would kill you. You have no honor. You spray your Lysol and you spray your shaving cream, as you cower in fear. You&#8217;re afraid of death, you&#8217;re afraid of life, and you have no soul. He said this to me. Why don&#8217;t you have your soul? Why are you empty? He said this to me. What are you? Why are you alone? Why is this the end of the world? A battle with a roach?</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">I&#8217;m not a roach. I&#8217;m God. I&#8217;m the Devil. I&#8217;m everything you&#8217;ll never know because you live in a world of little things and meaningless pursuits. We&#8217;re all going down the road, he said. Maybe me first, but then you. Will you go with courage or will you cower behind your sprays? Will you look in the mirror and see yourself, or will you see me behind the mirror, just trying to be somebody, just trying to live. All I&#8217;m doing is trying to live. And all you&#8217;re doing is trying to kill me.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">I jammed the toilet plunger into his screaming head. I fucking hit that roach a good three or four times, breaking its wings, driving it down, down beneath the water. And then I just watched. Maybe fifteen minutes transfixed in the last death throes of this valiant creature.  I saw him throb, the air pumping ever slower through his dying body. Slower and slower, the contractions came, and all the while, he&#8217;s looking at me. He&#8217;s looking directly into my eyes. I could hear his thoughts, and I heard nothing in those thoughts, except for one thing: If only I could touch you.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">That&#8217;s what he said.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">And then he stopped moving altogether, and slowly sunk to the bottom of the bowl, beneath a piece of spinning shit that began to fall apart in the water. This is the real mirror, I thought. I see myself here.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">I flushed it all down, and the sea churned and the whole mess went away like it never happened, into wherever the pipes go. I don&#8217;t know where the pipes go. And the new clear water filled the bowl, and there was my face in there.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">And I wasn&#8217;t God, and I wasn&#8217;t the Devil.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">I wasn&#8217;t anybody.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"> </p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"><strong>#32 and a Half  &#8211; Gross Fucking Shit I Wrote on the Phone with my Friend Don</strong></p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     My friend, Don, called me on the phone and told me I wasn’t gross enough. I told him, I’ll show you gross. You’ll see. Then I pulled a small maggot out of my girlfriend’s pussy and forced it into his mouth which caused him to gag and barf, some of which got in my mouth. His barf must have been infected because my throat began to swell up, and the roach that was caught in my esophagus, the one that crawled in there during the night when I was sleeping, imploded and ran down the corners of my mouth in a stream of white steamy ropes.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">Ewe, I said. Looks like I just got done blowing a dead wino’s sticky uncircumcised flesh-banana. And I might have caught the syphilis that was oozing out of his blood-rod, but luckily it broke off because he had been dead for several months, so I spit it out. Then I barfed a hardened globe of infection, dead guy penis head, foreskin of a green nature, a maggot, my girlfriend’s pussy juice, some urine, and, my God, it couldn’t have gotten grosser.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">Except that Tom Miller was writing the story and he had to take it so far into the realm of gross that no man could possibly survive without being scarred for life with the insidious horror that was Miller’s horrible writing. An angry ostrich ran over and viciously sucked out my butt hole and spit diarrhea butt-hole sauce back into my sphincter and I started to jack my bleeding dirty penis as hard as I could until I shot back with several spurts of brown encrusted sponge globules, which unfortunately landed in my mouth and began to gel with the vomit and the infected pus and the animal sperm.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">And the intestinal gasses began to expel from my dilating anal cavity, and there was a set of teeth in there that gnawed on my hemorrhoids until white infected blood saturated my own face, because I was hunched over sucking all this maggot infested bile into my mouth so I could gag again and vomit my life all over the vagina of the corpse of the rotted mutilated chicken I had just fucked with my girlfriend’s anally encrusted vagina vibrator.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     Too bad it tore out the chicken’s vagina, but that there is good eating! I ate it and barfed and came all over the wall, and barfed again into my own mouth, and my balls were bleeding, and a roach leg was caught in an impacted recess in my tooth which kept my throat convulsing and gagging until stuff came up which I’m not sure humans are supposed to produce out of their bodies. After I cooled off awhile, I fucked our poodle, Pickens, in the depths of its animal ass, and I came blood and kidney stones.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">Top that, bitch!</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"> </p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"> </p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"><strong>#Second To Last &#8211; My Daughter’s Balls</strong></p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     We were delighted at first. She was the most beautiful baby ever born into the world. My husband Dick and I never had a doubt when the expert in fertility we hired told us about the new technology that would allow us to conceive. And when Dick shit this baby out and after they rinsed her off, I could tell she would grow up to be a beautiful creature.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     “I have to tie this off here,” said the doctor. He clipped off the tube that was coming out of my husband’s ass and into our daughter’s stomach. And as he pushed gently on her little stomach, a set of balls popped out of her cunt. “Holy fuck!”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     “Don’t worry,” said the doctor. “It’s just balls. We can work with that.”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     “What do you mean, Doc? Is my gay husband’s butt baby a boy or a girl? Is this a transgendered kid here?”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     “Not at all, Peter,” he replied. “Nothing to worry about, really. You have to relax. Sometimes in a situation like this where we’re splicing genes and using chemicals, a set of balls is the least of your worries. I’ve seen much worse. Why just last week, we were trying to get a butt baby turned around right so it wouldn’t be anally choked to death, and the guy had explosive diarrhea and… wait a minute. Wait just a minute here. Something’s not right.”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     “Doctor,” I said, “This isn’t what they warned me about earlier in this book, is it?</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     “Oh my God,” said Dick. “I knew it. I just knew it! We’re in a fucking God damned Tom Miller story. That explains everything.”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     “Oh shit! Well what the fuck are we going to do? We got no control here.” Then Peter turned to the Doctor. “You’re a medical expert. Isn’t there anything we can do?”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     “You’re problem’s going to have to wait just a minute here until I solve MY problem. I’ve just noticed I have suddenly developed a set of amphibian gills and two assholes, and one my assholes is bleeding. NURSE! I’m going to need some gauze, and a pail of hot water, STAT!”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     Nurse Snappersnatch ran down the hall to the sink where she slipped in a puddle of shit and broke her mouth on the concrete floor. The baby began to scream. “Somebody shut that baby up,” said the Doctor. And somebody mop that shit up. It’s getting the nurse dirty. She’s crawling around in it. I can’t operate like this. This baby hasn’t got a chance with Tom Miller writing the story. We’ve got to get this baby out of here.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     “But what about her balls? My daughter’s balls are just hanging out, exposed. Should I tear them off or push them back in? Doctor, for Christ sake, say something medical.”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     “Best advice I have, and I’m speaking now as a medical expert… Pull them. You gotta’ tear those nuts outta’ there!” I pulled her nuts off. Baby died.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     “Oh God,” said the Doc, “My asshole is bleeding into my other asshole and clogging my amphibian gills. I can’t breathe. This is so fucking gross. When does it end. This story is so revolting. It’s got blood, assholes, asshole babies, a nut sack poking out of a baby’s vag, a puddle of shit, and all of the puke I’m about to bust out with.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     The doctor vomited, running through the hallway trying to make it to the can. He failed at every step, slipped on the shit nurse, and propelled himself face first into the rotting distended belly of a 300 pound male corpse which would have been properly autopsied if this had never happened.  And it would have been found to be murder. And how the lobster that crawled out of the corpse survived an extended period in the digestive track of this bloated part-time sewage worker is still a mystery to this day.<br />
     “Dick,” I said to my husband, “You like lobster?”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     “Do you mean to raise as our own child in place of our dead one, or to eat?” He paused, then laughed.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     “What a thing to say,” I laughed. We were laughing together. It really was all a bit absurd. Besides, we didn’t even know what sex it was. So I offered a compromise. If it’s a female with nuts, I say we give it all the love we have and raise it together. If it’s not transgendered, we eat it. What do you say?</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     “I don’t know…” said Dick. “Lobsters have a lot of mercury in their flesh, I’m told. “Do lobsters even have nuts?”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     The lobster slowly crawled over the dead doctor’s torso, slid his largest claw into the front of the pants and snipped off the penis.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     “What is this story about Tom,” Peter asked me. “Are you trying to say something here? Is it a story about sexual identity, or how fucked up the world is?”</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     “No,” I replied. “All I’m trying to say is this: We need to look at the first pair of swimmerets under the tail of that lobster. If they’re hard and rigid, we have a male. If they’re soft and feathery, we’ve got a female. But we don’t have to look under there to know how delicious it will taste if we eat it. So don’t look, or do. But either way, it’s time to make a decision. Decide. Decide.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">     And so how is this going to end, I wondered.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"> </p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"> </p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;"><strong>Story #Last</strong></p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">There once was a dude<br />
Who was totally rude<br />
He’d fart just to see people squirm</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">He was vividly lewd<br />
Expressively crude<br />
In his anus, there lived a small worm</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">The worm up in there<br />
Enjoyed the off-air<br />
That more often than not blew with vigor</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">There was one thing our man<br />
With the worm in his can<br />
Could not stand, and that was a Mexican.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">Mexican beans can make Mexicans mean<br />
With the powerful bombs they can blow</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">With only burritos and Negro Modelo<br />
A Mexican fart can explode a bordello</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">And because at the bottom of their Mescal bottle<br />
There’s always a worm that’s prepared to do battle</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">Our Dude met his match on the ranch when he unzipped his pants and let go a flambé that was swell and did dwell</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">In response to this volley the Mexican entered the lexicon of<br />
World class farters by smoking our hero to toast with intestinal<br />
Hose through a hemorrhoid encrusted brown bread and buttered<br />
Opening, rivaling the gate to the ninth circle of hell.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">The worm crawled out of the dude’s anus<br />
The Mexican ate it and now he is famous.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">And although the Mexican doesn’t like niggers,<br />
At least he’s not white and that’s good, so he figures.</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">‘Cause the smell of white fart will linger and hang<br />
With Jesus, whose fart will come back once again</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">To save us from sin<br />
From the worm in our brain who lives in our anus</p>
<p class="ecmsonormal" style="margin:auto 0;">How totally heinous!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>i is so stupid</strong></p>
<p>hi<br />
me ernie<br />
me dumb<br />
i got all nine fingers in my mouth<br />
i got a job<br />
my job to<br />
sit right here<br />
and not get in trouble<br />
i not smart<br />
i not know much<br />
but i know one thing<br />
me ernie<br />
that my name</p>
<p><strong>napkin</strong></p>
<p>i blow my nose<br />
into a paper napkin<br />
crumple it up<br />
and throw it away<br />
love is simple<br />
why complicate things?</p>
<p><strong>winter shadows</strong></p>
<p>he talks to<br />
imaginary people<br />
i see him every day<br />
i wonder<br />
maybe i&#8217;m the<br />
imaginary person<br />
i can not see<br />
the real people<br />
he&#8217;s talking to<br />
and one cold day<br />
i never see him<br />
again<br />
i wonder<br />
maybe he made it<br />
to the world where<br />
his imaginary friends live<br />
maybe i am<br />
a phantom<br />
 about a<br />
ghost in<br />
two separate<br />
dreams</p>
<p>seagulls drift<br />
aimlessly overhead<br />
eyeing the ladybug<br />
crawling across<br />
the dumpsite</p>
<p><strong>3 cats, a nun, and her industrial park</strong></p>
<p>3 cats<br />
each different from the other<br />
none like a nun<br />
3 cats are<br />
not the nun&#8217;s<br />
she has none<br />
not one<br />
3 cats and a nun<br />
none like an industrial park<br />
3 cats don&#8217;t have that<br />
but the nun has one<br />
3 cats, a nun, and an industrial park<br />
each different from the other<br />
but 3 are cats who<br />
own no industrial park<br />
and one is a nun<br />
who has one</p>
<p><strong>a poem about poets who write poems about poetry</strong></p>
<p>some poets<br />

about poetry<br />
some poets<br />
don&#8217;t like the<br />
poets who write<br />
poems about poetry<br />
some poets don&#8217;t<br />

write poems about<br />
poetry and poems<br />
written by poets<br />
who write poems<br />
about poetry</p>
<p>as i am a<br />
poet writing a<br />
poem about poets<br />
and poems<br />
hated by poets<br />
who write<br />
poems which are<br />
not about poetry<br />
some poets must<br />
not like me</p>
<p><strong>ocala (my suggestion for the city song)</strong></p>
<p>o, ocala<br />
the emptiness<br />
of your character<br />
the Serene<br />
and distant<br />
sounds of<br />
construction<br />
and maybe a factory or two<br />
the beauty of<br />
your prisons<br />
and the glee<br />
of the police department</p>
<p>o, ocala<br />
your uselessness<br />
compels me to<br />
stay just at bay<br />
of your borders</p>
<p>the temptation of<br />
dullness i resist<br />
with every fiber<br />
of my being<br />
may i never experience<br />
the repellent nothingness<br />
that is you</p>
<p><strong>sloth telephone</strong></p>
<p>life is like a flower with smells as sweet as wine<br />
life is like a birdy flying all the time<br />
life is like a feather falling to the ground<br />
life is like a buffalo walking on the ground</p>
<p>life is like a pencil, who knows what it will write<br />
life is like a ball point pen, who knows what it will write<br />
life is an umbrella so you won&#8217;t get wet<br />
life is like a rainbow with a pot of gold to get</p>
<p>life is like a venus flytrap eating up a bug<br />
life is like a piece of gum stuck into the rug<br />
life is like a matchbook going up in flames<br />
life is like a pancake cooking over flames</p>
<p>life can be a bean stalk, just ask jack, he&#8217;ll tell ya&#8217;<br />
life can be a puppy dog coming up to smell ya&#8217;<br />
life can be a baby falling from the sky<br />
life can be a renaissance painter painting flies</p>
<p>life is like a football game, 23 hut hut<br />
life can be like diarrhea coming out your butt<br />
life is like a fairy boy holding a banana<br />
life is like a ping pong ball shot out of the labia</p>
<p>life is fair and life is fun, eat me on a stick<br />
life is making sticky buns, painter painting flies<br />
life is like a kumquat, who knows what it will write<br />
life is like a clothes pin holding a banana</p>
<p>Life is like a doughnut<br />
life is like a frog<br />
life is like a game of darts<br />
life is like a fish</p>
<p>life is like a stringy dump<br />
hanging from a fish<br />
life is like a sloth telephone<br />
who knows what it will write</p>
<p>life is like a hamburger tree<br />
pick yourself a burger<br />
life is like a bowl of shit<br />
garnished with some cherries</p>
<p><strong>the old pig who had no food</strong></p>
<p>     one day an old pig was walking down the street when suddenly, a car came speeding around the corner and struck the pig sharply on the right underside of his nose. the pig was killed instantly, and he also had no food.</p>
<p><strong>the singing of the birds</strong></p>
<p>     when baby bird was born, he hungered for food and longed to fly as the other birds did. fortunately, mother bird arrived at the nest with a gigantic juicy worm. &#8220;thanks ma,&#8221; said the bird, eagerly anticipating his meal. but mother bird ate the whole worm herself. &#8220;mom,&#8221; said baby bird, &#8220;what was that? i&#8217;ve just been born, waiting for food, and here you go and eat my dinner. what about me?&#8221;</p>
<p>     &#8220;don&#8217;t worry,&#8221; mother bird assured him, &#8220;in just a few moments, i will regurgitate the worm and you can eat it out of my neck.&#8221; baby bird pondered the implications for some time before finally saying, &#8220;mom, you are one sick bitch. that is the most disgusting thing i have ever heard. if i wanted to eat vomit, i could have just eaten the worm myself and made myself puke. at the very least, it would be my vomit, but you&#8217;re asking me to eat your vomit. why don&#8217;t you just shit it out on a platter, have dad eat your shit and then throw up in my mouth. or for that matter, why don&#8217;t you eat the worm, take a shit, have dad eat your shit and shit the worm out himself where he could then eat it and barf it into your mouth and you can shit the whole mess down my throat. in fact, why eat the worm? if you really want to gross me out, mom, you can eat worm shit, throw it up into dad&#8217;s ass and he can fart the shit out into your mouth and you can shit dad&#8217;s worm shit into my asshole, you sick fucking bitch. i am out of here!&#8221;</p>
<p>     and with that, baby bird stepped off the nest and fell to the pavement with a splat. several days later, worms ate baby bird and saved his asshole for dessert.</p>
<p>End</p>
<p><strong>porta potty disaster</strong></p>
<p>     i had been standing in line for what seemed like eternity. my legs were crossed so tightly that i thought i&#8217;d have flat balls for the rest of my life. and worse, i wasn&#8217;t standing in line for broadway theater seats; i was waiting for the portable potty. suddenly, the thin fiberglass door sprung open and the 400 pound security guard walked out with the look of satisfaction clearly evident on his bulbous face. i entered the stall and closed and locked the door behind me. the first thing i noticed was the thick fog of smell that hung in the air like pea soup. i&#8217;m serious; pee soup.</p>
<p>     the moist aroma seemed to cling to me. it was like i was inside the colon of a wino. looking down, i noticed that the security guy had misplaced his asshole during his efforts and left a brown pancake hanging on the seat lip. my face spontaneously contorted into a grimace as i pondered the implications. i wasn&#8217;t capable of waiting in line for another stall, because my burrito was about to blow.</p>
<p>     i was going to have to straddle this mount and keep my buttocks out of the security guard plop. in order to make this possible, i would have to pull one leg completely out of my trousers to get the appropriate spread.</p>
<p>      you can imagine my discontent when my drawers rolled down my leg and into a puddle o&#8217; piss. i was amazed at the rate with which corduroy absorbs large quantities of warm liguid. moving into position, i constricted my bowels as tightly as i could, and then launched a spray of colostomy into the mouth of the commode. i felt a certain satisfaction that given my explosive condition, i still managed to accurately place every drop exactly where it belonged. if the receptacle wasn&#8217;t so tiny, i might not have had to shift forward to aim my dick, which unfortunately provided the catalyst for what happened next. at that moment, i lost my footing, slipping in the pee pee, and landed ass first in the security guard discountenance.</p>
<p>     &#8220;My butt&#8217;s in shit! my butt&#8217;s in shit!&#8221; i angrily exclaimed. maybe i shouldn&#8217;t have jerked away so quickly because in my unbalanced condition, i tumbled against the wall of the unit sending it toppling over. it was like slow motion as the thing hit the ground and i saw the blue thick dirty tidal wave flying at me. the whole episode might have ended there had not an errant dukee ball found its way into my horrified mouth and down the back of my throat where an autonomic convulsion of my uvula caused me to swallow. an immediate churning of bile ensued and it wasn&#8217;t too long before i hacked up a green parage of raison bran and bread blops all over my chest.</p>
<p>     the chemical compounds used to break down a five square foot tank of poop began to dissolve my skin away and i kept thinking to myself that this must be the worst of it. but to my surprise and utter befuddlement, i saw something alive crawling over the potty seat, onto my leg, and up over my thigh. i had to ask myself the following question: how in the fuck could there possibly be a live 12 pound lobster in the porta potty? but before i could realize the danger of the agitated sea life, my penis was snipped at the trunk.</p>
<p>      fair readers, i share this story to illustrate not how disgusting things can get in life, but rather to demonstrate that with the proper will, skill, action, and state of mind, people can come back from their tragedies to triumph over overwhelming odds.</p>
<p>      that evening, after the surgery, i ate that lobster and had my sweet revenge. and i&#8217;ll tell you something else, too. you can be sure i boiled the screaming shit out of it.</p>
<p>end</p>
<p><strong> i may not be here</strong></p>

<p>the broken backs<br />
of many mothers</p>
<p>i may be a<br />

<p><strong>the old skanky hag</strong></p>
<p>once upon a time, there was a dusty old skanky hag of a bitch<br />
who lived in a cave. each morning she would drink a cup of tea,<br />
only to discover she was sipping old denture water and her teeth<br />
were in it. birds would shit on her and it would fucking rain. in<br />
the dark and stormy afternoon, the bitch would burn some toast.<br />
the smell reminded her of her own uncontrollable farting. later,<br />
the stupid cunt would step on her cat again because she was so<br />
fucking blind and ugly. cat hated her. and at night, she would drop<br />
to her knees and pray and the rescue workers were getting sick<br />
of responding to her medic alert calls to come and get her off the<br />
floor. stupid cuntbag.</p>
<p><strong>the old lady</strong></p>
<p>once upon a time, there was a nice old lady who lived in a cottage<br />
on the hill. each morning, she would sip a cup of english tea and sit<br />
on the porch admiring the effortless flight of clouds and birds. in the<br />
early afternoon, she would bake fresh bread from scratch in her stone<br />
over and then set it out to cool. the smell reminded her of when she<br />
was young. late afternoon, she would read in her book and enjoy<br />
the warmth of her pet cat, who gently kneaded itself into a blissful<br />
purr. and at night before bed time, she would pray that peace and<br />
good health befall the people of the earth, and that sweet dreams<br />
befall children. she would drift off to sleep and relive the things she<br />
did that day. stupid cuntbag.</p>
<p> &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>the approach<br />
so final<br />
a twisted fragment<br />
of a loose garment<br />
falls away</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p><strong>slut cat</strong></p>
<p>fee fee the cat was in heat and began to wipe her puckering labia on bill&#8217;s knee as he sat on the couch watching championship wrestling and eating day old twisty bread from the pizza place down the street. bill took a last bit and got himself another of the delicious bread sticks. he held it in his fist ready to eat, but fee fee had backed up on it and was working it to a nub. bill, not noticing the feline bread frenzy, pulled out and took a bite.<br />
     &#8220;now this is the butter sauce i remember from the old country,&#8221; bill said.</p>
<p><strong>a disturbing dinner</strong></p>
<p>one morning i awoke with a burning sensation in my nose, way up at the back near where i swallow. closing my right nostril off with my finger, i exhaled and out shot a roach, splitting in two as it bent and snapped through the narrow passage way.<br />
     &#8220;hey, i was eating!&#8221; it complained.</p>
<p><strong>cribble and dame and de ferret game</strong></p>

<p><strong>the story of the mop</strong></p>
<p><strong>     </strong>one day, this mop was hanging around with not much to do. the cleaning lady came in and almost used the mop, but she didn&#8217;t. then she left. but the mop didn&#8217;t care because it&#8217;s just a piece of wood with some yarn tied on it.</p>
<p><strong>the story of the frightened monster</strong></p>
<p><strong>     </strong>one dark and stormy night, little billy baxter thought he heard something moving under the bed. he leaned over the edge of the mattress and slowly pullled the covers up so he could see into the dark recess beneath him. there in the corner, cowering in fear, was a small furry monster.<br />
     &#8220;i&#8217;m sorry,&#8221; whimpered the monster, &#8220;i didn&#8217;t mean to bother you. i farted.&#8221;<br />
     &#8220;come here, you purple mangy mongrel,&#8221; shouted billy as he got a fist full of blue fur and dragged the creature out into the open. &#8220;i&#8217;m going to kick your shit out for waking me up!&#8221; the poor best shivered with fear. little billy baxter jumped on the creature, bit its neck out, ripped and clawed its tender flesh, and pounded it into oblivion until the thing was dead.</p>
<p>     grover never knew what hit him.</p>
<p><strong>fable of the clam</strong></p>
<p>     at the bottom of the sea there lived a clam. one day, an insurance salesman swam up to investigate, but the clam would not open its shell. &#8220;are you home?&#8221; asked the insurance salesman.<br />
     &#8220;if i open up, i fear you&#8217;ll eat me,&#8221; the clam replied.<br />
     &#8220;i won&#8217;t eat you. i&#8217;m not a trigger fish, i&#8217;m an insurance salesman.&#8221;<br />
     &#8220;oh. in that case, okay.&#8221; as the clam opened its shell, the insurance salesman got him and ate him. some clams are so fucking stupid.</p>
<p><strong>red boats (the poem)</strong></p>
<p>i like red boats<br />
especially if they floats<br />
i can sail them in the moat<br />
or even give a lift to a goat</p>
<p>if you do not like my ship<br />
fuck you faggot, suck my dick<br />
i don&#8217;t have to please you anyway<br />
&#8217;cause it&#8217;s my boat and i&#8217;m<br />
a better writer than hemingway</p>
<p>in fact, i&#8217;m better than kipling or poe<br />
even better than my neighbor, joe<br />
he&#8217;s not famous or anything<br />
he just don&#8217;t have no boat or moat or goat<br />
nor can he write</p>
<p><strong>musky man</strong></p>
<p>from down wind on the hill side there came an unusual smell<br />
musky man came running with his smell spread in a swill<br />
his hairy armpits sending out a musk into the air<br />
a wet and soppy ball sack pasted to his thigh with care<br />
he bore the fruit of twenty en and some would swear aloud<br />
musky man came running by followed by a cloud<br />
a cloud of brown and yellow with a rain of smelly sweat<br />
causeing wheat to die away and none has grown there yet<br />
so when you breathe the summer air and suddenly you hurl<br />
musky man is sure to come with all his manly burl</p>
<p><strong>Stupid Fish</strong></p>
<p>     one day, stupid fish was swimming along the bottom of the bay when he saw a worm with a hook through it.<br />
     &#8220;they think i&#8217;m so stupid,&#8221; said stupid fish, &#8220;but i&#8217;m not so as dumb as they think i are. i&#8217;ll just eat around the worm so it don&#8217;t get me.&#8221; stupid fish bit into the hook and was hauled to the surface by two boy scouts who beat him on the hard concrete road until he was dead.</p>
<p>the end.</p>

june 14, 1999</p>

<p>a brand new<br />
top flight pad of<br />
legal yellow</p>
<p>a black felt tip<br />
expresso<br />
extra fine point</p>
<p>wrote a poem<br />
about god</p>
<p>how he killed<br />
the most people<br />
in the bible</p>

threw it away</p>
<p>&#8220;well,&#8221; i said,<br />
&#8220;there&#8217;s one.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>for the love of chess</strong></p>
<p>my opening<br />
strong</p>
<p>soldiers<br />
stake their best<br />
positions</p>
<p>lines of attack<br />
open</p>
<p>the king<br />
begins to shake</p>
<p>then<br />
my move<br />
and the blunder</p>
<p>i have lost again</p>
<p><strong>smack smack squirt snore</strong></p>
<p>the couple on the couch<br />
kiss<br />
     touch gently</p>
<p>quiet sounds i&#8217;ve<br />
heard before</p>
<p>she is<br />
feeling him</p>
<p>tonight<br />
he&#8217;ll squirt<br />
his ratty little juice</p>
<p>and snore</p>
<p><strong>one for the birds</strong></p>
<p>how about it!<br />
and one<br />
for the roaches.</p>
<p>can they have theirs?</p>
<p>how about the music?<br />
one for the music.</p>
<p>and i&#8217;d like another one,<br />
this one for fun.</p>
<p>this one for love.</p>
<p>this one for me.</p>
<p>this one<br />
also for me.</p>
<p>i am drinking.</p>
<p>i am drunk.</p>
<p>one for you ladies.</p>
<p>one for the hippy<br />
that looks like jesus.</p>
<p>one for jesus.</p>
<p>can i get one for jesus?</p>
<p>can i get one for jesus?</p>
<p>what do you mean, I&#8217;m cut off?</p>
<p><strong>i clean my hole</strong></p>
<p>it is not coming out<br />
in one piece</p>
<p>there is residue<br />
and toilet paper<br />
won&#8217;t do</p>
<p>someone is knocking</p>
<p>&#8220;just a minute,&#8221;<br />
i say.</p>
<p>i get a paper towel<br />
fold it over<br />
wet it</p>
<p>put on<br />
a little soap</p>
<p>i stick it in there<br />
good</p>
<p>rinse and repeat</p>
<p>they knock again</p>
<p>&#8220;hold on,&#8221; i say</p>
<p>there is still<br />
some brown coming off</p>
<p>i wash again with<br />
a new paper towel</p>
<p>until it comes out<br />
clean and white</p>
<p>knock! knock! knock!</p>
<p>&#8220;for christ&#8217;s sake,<br />
i&#8217;m cleaning my<br />
goddamn hole!</p>
<p>give it a rest!&#8221;</p>
<p>when i open the door<br />
there is nobody there</p>
<p><strong>the lady and the dog</strong></p>
<p>they came walking by<br />
the lady and the dog</p>
<p>the dog took pause<br />
to sniff me</p>
<p>&#8220;come on,&#8221;<br />
the lady said</p>
<p>she pulled the leash<br />
and they continued<br />
down the road</p>
<p>i liked the dog<br />
but i wouldn&#8217;t<br />
sniff the bitch walking her</p>
<p>for a liver treat</p>
<p><strong>11:10 p.m. &#8211; gainesville, florida</strong></p>
<p>there&#8217;s no fitting in</p>
<p>a half moon<br />
bitches over gainesville</p>
<p>people in little groups<br />
smoking chattering<br />
standing around</p>
<p>telling bad jokes</p>
<p>allowing time<br />
to run them down<br />
like road kill</p>
<p>birds<br />
shit and sing<br />
on the fence</p>
<p>nonsense</p>
<p>they scatter<br />
at their own noise<br />
then return</p>
<p>people talking to<br />
themselves<br />
to the air</p>
<p>shouting at the<br />
traffic lights</p>
<p>plodding along<br />
wide eyed</p>
<p>pissing on the<br />
bricks in the<br />
road</p>
<p>you allow a<br />
mosquito<br />
feeding on your arm</p>
<p>to have its fill</p>
<p><strong>mirror</strong></p>
<p>you don&#8217;t care about my poems<br />
why say anything?</p>
<p>i hate you<br />
go fuck yourself!</p>
<p>you are the ugliest<br />
man in the world</p>
<p>monkeys wouldn&#8217;t<br />
waste their shit<br />
to throw it on you.</p>
<p>thank god for<br />
affirmations</p>
<p>without them<br />
i&#8217;d be nothing</p>
<p><strong>darkness</strong></p>
<p>where ever you go</p>
<p>the club the<br />
     coffee shop</p>
<p>the store<br />
     they are there</p>
<p>you say hello<br />
and they say hello</p>
<p>you go home alone<br />
they go home together</p>
<p>you think about<br />
what they do</p>
<p>the things you<br />
used to do</p>
<p>how the intimate<br />
moments</p>
<p>are given up</p>
<p>until there is<br />
nothing left but<br />
darkness</p>
<p>and they are there too.</p>
<p>goodnight coffeebar</p>
<p>thanks<br />
for your encouragement</p>
<p>your inspiration<br />
you have done me well</p>
<p>i trust you<br />
coffeebar</p>
<p>with my secrets</p>
<p>you have never<br />
wronged me</p>
<p>in the smoke<br />
music and<br />
dark lights</p>
<p>there is hope</p>
<p>the chess players<br />
lose and win</p>
<p>the bands play</p>
<p>the streets<br />
wait patiently<br />
to guide me</p>
<p>home</p>
<p>each footstep<br />
a kiss in the<br />
madness of the<br />
moist night&#8217;s<br />
soul</p>

<p><strong><font color="#000000">Introduction</font></p>
<p></strong><font color="#000000">In all my years of professional writing, I have never written such a professional book as the one you are about to read. The level of story, typing and craftsmanship surpasses my greatest previous works by leaps and bounds in terms of the story, the typing, and the craftsmanship. It is no less than a work of genius, and I say this with absolute modesty and humbleness. The last thing I am, after all, is a modest and humble man, and this is what I am saying now. I hope you will enjoy the stories and learn from them, as I have, that the world can be a terrible place if we only try our best to make it so with considerable effort, story, typing and craftsmanship. I hope you&#8217;ll do the same. Enjoy!</font></p>

<p></strong><font color="#000000">One day as I was out in the forest walking my sheep, I chanced to notice an unusual thing. A small bush was shaking as if something were going on behind it. Using my best effort to sneak over undetected despite my sheep, I peeked over and saw perhaps the most disgusting thing a man can ever see in the forest; a gay squirrel blow job was going on, and in public! Thank the balls of Jesus, my sheep didn&#8217;t see.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">And as I glanced around me, there were many small bushes shaking in the same fashion and I realized I had wandered into a gay squirrel blow job park and for the sake of myself and all the sheep of the world, it had to be stopped before harm was done. I moved into a clearing and used my cell phone to dial 911, but the signal wasn&#8217;t strong enough to connect. Thanks, Cellular One. And I&#8217;m sure the blow jobs continue to this day. </font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">I have never told my sheep about this, not even when we fuck.</font></p>

<p><font color="#000000">Vagina Pizza Mishap</font></p>
<p></strong><font color="#000000">I had been perfectly clear on the telephone, but these days, people just don&#8217;t care any more about the quality of service offered the general public, particularly in the arena of home pizza delivery. I had no complaints about the speed with which my pizza arrived. Indeed, it was quite a speedy delivery; surprisingly so. It was reasonably priced, and on this level I was also satisfied. But when I opened up the box to enjoy my meal, my pizza was absolutely riddled with vagina. Friends, I simply can not eat pizza with vagina on it. They remind me of anchovies, only much saltier. I registered my complaint in the most polite fashion but the gentleman on the other end of the line called me a foul name and told me he would make it so I could never again order a pizza for delivery. I mean, who came up with vagina on pizza anyway? The people who thought up pineapple and ham? Vaginas&#8230; Sick! Do people really eat those things?</font></p>

<font color="#000000">I Farted Brown at the DMV</font></p>
<p></strong><font color="#000000">I was at the Department of Motor Vehicles taking my written exam when some kind of a pop happened in my ass. I had hoped it was simply a tiny fart and that nobody would notice, but as it turned out, I farted brown. I knew there was a trickle forming, and a faint smell rose up. On the test, there was a triangle shaped yellow sign. Which one was it? A stop sign? Oncoming train? Road blocked? Suddenly, some raison sized peas leapt into the situation and worsened it considerably. I clenched my ass cheeks together to contain the damage. I checked off a mark for &#8220;Slippery Road Ahead&#8221;, turned in my test, and passed it all with flying colors. Later, I wiped up privately in the restroom and a man at the urinal in there had the biggest penis I had ever seen.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">&#8220;You looking at my dick?&#8221; he asked, angrily.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">&#8220;Not me,&#8221; I replied. &#8220;Just cleaning up my ass here.&#8221;</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">&#8220;Gross dude,&#8221; he said.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">&#8220;You&#8217;re one to talk,&#8221; I replied, &#8220;Look at that ungodly ding dong hanging. Your dick head is resting in the bowl of the urinal. Talk about gross.&#8221;</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">&#8220;Ah ha!&#8221; He exclaimed, &#8220;You WERE looking at my piece. I ought to call the fag patrol on you.&#8221; And this incensed me so much that I threw my dirty toilet paper on him and ran out. I got into the line for the driving performance test and who do you think the driving instructor was? That&#8217;s right, the big penis guy. </font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">&#8220;Well well well,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You think you&#8217;re going to pass this test after what you did back there?&#8221;</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">I replied, &#8220;Maybe not, but I&#8217;m passing something right now.&#8221; And I farted so hard my small intestine got caught in my asshole and now I have to shit in a bag I carry around with me where ever I go. When I get road rage, I throw the bag.</font></p>

<p></strong><font color="#000000">I was feelin&#8217; a might horny and I had smoked up a shitload of weed. When Redneck Joe come over, I give him some beer and got him good and drunk. If&#8217;n I couldn&#8217;t fuck his wife, I&#8217;d get him to suck my dick and he didn&#8217;t care &#8217;cause he&#8217;d fuck his daughter and his dog one after the other. So he does a number on my wang dang doodle and proceeds to depart. &#8220;Where&#8217;s you going?&#8221; I ask him. &#8220;To beat some queers,&#8221; He says back to me. I didn&#8217;t have the heart to tell him he shoulda&#8217; be beatin&#8217; himself since he just got done sucking my dick. Havin&#8217; a man <em>suck </em>your dick is just horny. But if&#8217;n you&#8217;s sucking a man&#8217;s pecker, you&#8217;re a damn queer if&#8217;n you ask me. I should have done beat him my own damn self. I hate fuckin&#8217; queers. I don&#8217;t hate <em>fuckin&#8217;</em> queers; I just hate them what IS queers. </font></p>

<p></strong><font color="#000000">Deep within the Forest of Shame, as legend has it, there lives a creature so odd and horrifying that almost anyone who has actually seen it is said to have been consumed by it. I&#8217;m talking about the giant Forest Oyster. Often seen during months with the letter &#8220;R&#8221; in the name, it opens its mighty shell and can clamp down on an owl or a bear in a split second. Beware the giant Forest Oyster, for if you come face to face with it, you are sure to be eaten. Warning signs have been posted to fend it off. The signs read, &#8220;There is a risk associated with consuming raw humans and we can not be held responsible for illness or death.&#8221; But this has not reduced the number of kills for this treacherous beast. For giant Forest Oysters are unable to read, and even if they could, they would likely ignore the warnings because consuming humans are rumored to give the Oysters very rigid boners.</font></p>

<p><font color="#000000">I Ran Something Over With The Lawn Mower</font></p>
<p></strong><font color="#000000">One fine afternoon, I was outside mowing my lawn when there was a terrible grinding noise, followed by an explosion of blood and gore coming out of the side of the lawn mower where the grass comes out. I don&#8217;t know the technical name is for that part of the mower, but it was definitely covered in blood. And something shot out of it and landed against the wall of my house. I went over to examine it and it was basically a set of teeth loosely held together by a couple tendons of red meat. There was also an eye, but for the life of me, I couldn&#8217;t figure out what I had run over. Certainly an animal of some kind, but with only a set of teeth and an eye, I couldn&#8217;t be certain. I collected the teeth and eyeball in a ziplock bag and took it over to the natural history museum for a professional opinion by one of their staff animal people. I don&#8217;t know the technical name is for these people, but they are trained professionals when it comes to identifying animals from just a couple of parts. Zoo people or animalogists or something like that. Whatever. Anyway, the guy studied my find for several days before informing me that whatever I had run over was certainly an animal of some kind, and had been badly damaged. That was all he could tell me. So I took the bag of parts over to the Vet&#8217;s office and the Vet told me it was dead. So now I knew three things: It was an animal, it was damaged, and it was dead. And I never did figure out what that part of the lawn mower is where the grass shoots out, nor what the professional animal people are officially called at the natural history museum, but there&#8217;s a quote that springs to mind and it goes something like this: &#8220;If you don&#8217;t know something, it will hurt you&#8221; or is it, &#8220;What you don&#8217;t know hurts me,&#8221; or &#8220;Hurt me if you know what you don&#8217;t know&#8230;&#8221; Oh, fuck it.</font></p>

<p></strong><font color="#000000">Stanley Pookins was sitting at the bar drinking his eleventh double shot of scotch whiskey when the most beautiful woman he had ever seen walked in and sat next to him. &#8220;I&#8217;ll have a Margarita,&#8221; she said.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">&#8220;And I&#8217;m buying,&#8221; said Stanley. He introduced himself.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">&#8220;Pleased to meet you,&#8221; said the woman in a rich velvety voice, &#8220;I&#8217;m Dora Climax.&#8221; They had a pleasant conversation, which led to the idea of going home together to fuck and suck each other&#8217;s hidden parts, and they did so with vigor until they both fell asleep. When Stanley woke up the next morning after his buzz wore off, he glanced over next to him to bask anew in the glow of his woman and instead saw laying there a beast of ungodly horrid appearance. Her eyebrows were like mustaches and the hair coming out of her nose was of sufficient length to braid into a rope and hang out of a window. The drool that had dried in the corners of her mouth was brown and yellow, and the tip of her nose was made out of some kind of crust. She had a small goatee hidden between a fold under her chin and one of her breasts was a sagger. Her natch was shaved into a long thin triangle with an arrow pointing to her green clitoris. The legs were bloated and discolored with gutters and alleys of varicose veins. Her toes, the few she had, were mangled and the nails were blackened. There were dust bunnies between them and fungus beneath them. &#8220;Good Morning,&#8221; she grunted in a voice like sandpaper mixed with lye. The smell of her breath was chlorine and rat butt.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">Stanley got up from his bed, went into the kitchen, opened the pantry, had eleven double shots of whiskey, and fucked her again.</font></p>

I&#8217;m gonna&#8217; chop you down for this.&#8221; Stupid Ed chopped at the tree with his hand, and broke several fingers. &#8220;Now he&#8217;s after my hand again!&#8221; Several days later, a man named Stupid Ernie found Stupid Ed lying at the foot of the tree in a heap of tattered flesh. </font></p>

<p></strong><font color="#000000">One day, a small boy named Billy found a baby grasshopper and took it home to show his mother. &#8220;Can we keep him?&#8221; he asked her. </font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">&#8220;Yes,&#8221; his mother replied. &#8220;We&#8217;ll raise him like he was one of our own.&#8221; Billy and his mother taught the grasshopper to eat with a little knife and fork, and schooled him in the basic skills of reading, writing, and arithmetic. Soon, the grasshopper was old enough to go to college and majored in musical theater. After a short but successful career off -Broadway, he was offered a part in the feature film remake of The Miracle Worker. The grasshopper was nominated for an academy award for his uncanny portrayal of Helen Keller. Things seemed to be going well for the grasshopper until a cat got hold of him.</font></p>

<p></strong><font color="#000000">A duck was swimming in a pond when suddenly, he heard a gun shot in the distance. This caused the startled duck to fart and the fart rose to the surface of the pond and formed a bubble, which held together because of the soapy oily toxic pollution that leaked into the pond from a nearby chemical factory. The bubble took off into the air and was carried on the wind, by coincidence, to the hunter who had shot at the duck. When the bubble burst near the hunter&#8217;s face, a horrible smell permeated the air. &#8220;Duck farts!&#8221; said the hunter. And then he died.</font></p>

<p><font color="#000000">A Shower Gone Horribly Wrong</font></p>
<p></strong><font color="#000000">Old Ed Crotcher stepped into his shower and turned on the water. It was freezing cold. &#8220;Come on, you bastard!&#8221; He shouted as he quickly turned the handle on the hot water side. Suddenly, the water became extremely hot. &#8220;Now the hot&#8217;s on too much!&#8221;</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">He tried to turn up the cold water but the cold water was all the way turned up. Ed reached for the hot handle to turn it down but turned it the wrong way and the water became scalding. &#8220;Jesus, help me!&#8221; Ed shrieked, &#8220;My skin&#8217;s burning off.&#8221; He adjusted the knobs until he had finally reached a temperature, which pleased him. &#8220;Finally,&#8221; he said, &#8220;That&#8217;s what I like.&#8221; He grabbed for the soap but it slipped from his hand and fell into the drain. &#8220;Now my soap&#8217;s down!&#8221; Ed muttered. As he bent over to pick it up, his feet slipped out from under him and he landed teeth first on the bath tub faucet, knocking his dentures into the back of his throat. As he began to gag up the dentures, his wife turned on the washing machine in the other room and the water in the shower became scalding again. &#8220;Garfa garfa gaa&#8230;&#8221; Ed gurgled.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">After a series of coughing and retching, he vomited the teeth, which lodged in the drain with the soap, and the tub began filling up around him with boiling water and puke. &#8220;I&#8217;m soaking in my puke!&#8221; he shouted, &#8220;Turn off the God Damn washing machine!&#8221; As he attempted to right himself, he noticed a piece of bone sticking out from his hip, and as a result of this injury, he only managed to wedge himself down deeper into the water. Then in the stress of the moment, his asshole dilated and released a quart of diarrhea into the human soup he was now cooking in. After some time had passed and the soap had dissolved, the tub began to drain and Ed was left toothless and covered in shit and puke. &#8220;This is the total opposite of what I was trying to do with this shower.&#8221; said Ed. </font></p>

<p></strong><font color="#000000">Once upon a time, a small mouse was seeking to journey across a river when he saw a duck. &#8220;Oh Mr. Duck,&#8221; said the mouse, &#8220;May I jump on your back and ride across the river with you?&#8221; The duck replied, &#8220;Of course you may, but I must warn you in advance, I masturbate.&#8221; </font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">&#8220;It is of no consequence to me,&#8221; replied the mouse, &#8220;And I would be grateful for your assistance.&#8221; </font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">&#8220;As you wish,&#8221; said the duck. He positioned himself at the river&#8217;s edge and allowed the mouse to climb aboard. Then the duck made for the other side when in the middle of the river, he turned over on his back and began to stroke himself with his webbed feet. The mouse tried to swim for his life but could only keep his head above water to say, &#8220;My death is all that&#8217;s left for me.&#8221; and to hear the duck reply, &#8220;Hey, I told you I was a Masturbating Duck.&#8221; </font></p>

<p></strong><font color="#000000">One day, the Easter Bunny was Hippity Hoppitying along the road deep in the woods when he came across an old run down cabin. He could tell the cabin was occupied as he heard the sounds of hoops and hollers coming from within, along with the sounds of a banjo. &#8220;Maybe they might like some colored eggs.&#8221; The Easter Bunny said. He reached into his basket and pulled out the best of the eggs. &#8220;Since they must be poor, I&#8217;ll give them the most brightly colored egg, and that will lighten their spirits. The Easter bunny opened the door and saw Bubba and Billy Bob. The banjo playing stopped. Bubba put down his beer and said, &#8220;Well what do we got here? A furry little rat.&#8221;</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">To which Billy Bob added, &#8220;Let&#8217;s fuck it!&#8221; In a flash, they were up from their chairs and kicking at the Easter Bunny with their boots. Eggs went flying in all directions. Bubba got the animal by the ears and held it down as Billy Bob pulled out his engorged pecker. &#8220;Hold him,&#8221; said Billy Bob, &#8220;You gonna&#8217; git some now.&#8221; He stuffed his hose into the Easter Bunny&#8217;s asshole and began to grind. Shit and guts came out of the ass, along with a few Easter Bonnets. &#8220;Look here,&#8221; Said Billy Bob, &#8220;I&#8217;s fuckin&#8217; a rat.&#8221; Bubba beat on the Easter Bunny&#8217;s face with his fist until it was unconscious and after they both fucked it for several hours. Then they cooked it and ate it. </font></p>

<p></strong><font color="#000000">greta was the girl nobody talked to at the school. she wasn&#8217;t ugly nor beautiful. she wasn&#8217;t smart nor stupid. for no reason whatsoever, she was the girl everyone teased, especially on valentine&#8217;s day. i gave her a valentine invitation to a party and the address on it was to a human waste facility. i wish i could have seen her face when she got there and realized nobody loved her and there would be no party. the next day in school, she was crying. and i was whispering to her, &#8220;go on, cry. cry like a little baby, you ugly whore.&#8221; that afternoon we threw rocks at her.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">when greta&#8217;s mom died of a stroke later that year, we used to tell greta that her mother was rotting meat. and we also poisoned her dog. she really loved that dog. and i&#8217;d like to tell you she had some measure of revenge on us for being so hateful to her, but she just curled up into a ball and they put her in an institution. on her first valentine&#8217;s day in the institution, i sent her a card that said how crazy people will never find love and die alone, and that&#8217;s exactly what happened to her. </font></p>
<p><strong><font color="#000000">Unwilling Meat</font></p>
<p></strong><font color="#000000">I opened the refrigerator and pulled out my steak. I was looking forward to this particular piece of meat and had paid a hefty price for it. As I pulled back the wrapping, a strange thing happened. It bit me. I don’t know how or why, but the steak took a big chunk out of my hand and started to chew on it. &#8220;You bastard steak!&#8221; I shouted as I wrapped my bleeding hand with a dishtowel. I stabbed it with a large fork and threw it into the hot pan of olive oil. When the screaming stopped and it finally began to cook, I felt some sense of satisfaction. And in the end, I ate the steak and it was delicious. </font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">But the chunk of meat that steak took from my hand never grew back. And later, I was very disappointed to find out that people don’t regenerate their flesh no matter how much meat they eat. </font></p>

<p><font color="#000000">Girl Trouble</font></p>
<p></strong><font color="#000000">We first saw each other in a bar. I was so shy I turned away when our eyes met. She thought this meant that I wasn’t interested. But I actually was, and that’s how things began. </font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">As we came to know each other, we had fun going out on dates. But there came a time when she wanted to fuck. I didn’t want to get that involved since, now that I had come to know her so well, I figured fucking would just ruin our great relationship. I only like to fuck people I’ve just met who I don’t particularly care for. Then I don’t have to deal with all the baggage. I’m a selfish bastard, which is my way of saying I’m an artist. So I resisted her unspoken advances and kept quiet on the subject. That had the uncanny effect of causing her to want to fuck me more. The more she hinted at the subject without actually saying anything, the more I avoided it, and her. </font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">Now she was much more interested. She fooled around with a couple of my friends on the side but that was fine with me since she and I weren’t exactly an item, or were we? No, I guess not since we hadn’t done the deal clincher, and at this point we probably weren’t going to because I was becoming very attracted to her. My friends asked if we were an item and both of us kind of thought we were, but she’s fucked a few of my friends and I was fucking other people. Little did I know that by avoiding her as much as I was, it was making her want to fuck me more and also making her feel rejected. This was depressing the shit out of me. </font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">She began to think of all the reasons that I might be rejecting her. Was she fat? Was she stupid? Of course she was perfectly beautiful and very smart. She became sad and I became troubled, and neither one of us talked about it because we couldn’t explain it to each other. It was embarrassing and made no goddamned sense. Now I can’t sleep because I keep trying to figure out a way to explain it to her without her feeling as if she’s being rejected. I’m not rejecting her at all, quite the opposite. But I don’t want to hurt her feelings explaining that, even though both our feelings are already shredded. If it keeps up like this, I’m going to hate her and she’s going to hate me. You’d think under those circumstances that we’d probably finally grudge-fuck each other. But like I said: I only fuck people I like and don’t care for. </font></p>
<p><font color="#000000">And she’s someone I love so much that now, I can’t stand her.</p>

<p>Questions of Logic II</p>
<p>Once Upon a Time in the Maggot Factory</p>
<p>Speaking of hookers&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>three aliens</strong>, gible, snorky, and pebah-bittley bah arrived to earth on schedule from planet nib-2-gumpa dump. their plan was to form an alliance with the animal kingdom to smite the human infestation from earth before earth&#8217;s inevitable ruin at the hands of mankind via pollution, nuclear armageddon, and odd experiments being performed at the university of florida on anti-matter. the rag-tag band of extra-terrestrials made their way through the woods until they spied a bear.<br />
&#8220;let me handle this&#8230;&#8221; said gible, the most fluent in bear. gible approached the large brown animal but before he could speak, was gored horribly in the stomach, mouth, and pleckum; which is a small protuberance in the neck of nib-2-gumpa dumpians. he died. the other aliens ran and the bear took chase. it was no contest. nib-2-gumpa dumpians don&#8217;t manage rough terrain well with their single pogo-leg method of movement. the plan was a failure, and the bear died a short time later from e-coli and a gunshot wound, both of which originated from the same hunter; the e-coli from his ass which got into the stream several years ago and multiplied, and the other from his gun which was a very large gun designed to kill bears. and that is all i can think of to happen in this story and so we end.</p>
<p><strong>fred fartenmapants</strong> was wandering through the park when he noticed a small baby bird with a broken wing at the bottom of a large oak tree. &#8220;this must have falled out of the nest,&#8221; said fred, who failed several courses in english during his tenure at the local community college. &#8220;i am going to get and fix it the best of all,&#8221; he said, &#8220;and that way when throwed up into the air, it will fly away as good as new can be.&#8221; fred reached down to get the bird when suddenly, the mother bird flew down from a nest and began to peck at his eyes. &#8220;oh my black Jesus,&#8221; he shouted, &#8220;not my eyes.&#8221; fred went to shield his eyes from the attack and accidentally smashed the baby bird into one of them. &#8220;my eye!&#8221; shouted fred, &#8220;my eye!&#8221; and then he farted and ran head first into the tree knocking himself unconscious. when he awoke, fred found himself seated about one-hundred feet above the ground in a large nest. he threw up and a small group of baby birds formed a circle around him and began to eat. the mother bird was chewing on fred&#8217;s penis because it looked like a worm, and i don&#8217;t like this story so i stopped writing here.</p>
<p><strong>judy&#8217;s tit problem<br />
</strong><br />
judy had just had surgery to make her breasts voluptuous. they used to be ample, but that wasn&#8217;t good enough for her&#8230; not good enough by about eight thousand dollars and a week and a half of severe pain. but now, she felt sure that with her improved voluptuous breasts, she could bag herself a man to spawn ugly babies with. she put on her make-up, stuffed her voluptuous breasts into a victoria&#8217;s secret support bra, donned a fabulous black evening gown, and set out for the only nightclub in town, fatback-dan&#8217;s dippin&#8217; hole, to find the man of her dreams. on the way there, she went to adjust her expensive diamond broach and accidentally stuck the pin of it into her tit and through the implanted bag of silicon. one would think this would simply cause a slow leak, but for some reason, maybe the pressure of &#8220;voluptuous&#8221;, it blew up and a piece flew off to the side of the road where it was scooped up by a bird and dropped into the mouth of a big man who was sitting in a nest about one-hundred feet above. &#8220;come back here with my nipple, you cock-sucker,&#8221; shouted judy. to make a long story about this short, i stopped writing it.</p>
<p><strong>questions of logic<br />
</strong><br />
<strong>Q:</strong> hi. i read your story about the baby bird and i was wondering how the man got into the nest. it&#8217;s not explained and i&#8217;m sure a mother bird of any kind couldn&#8217;t lift a full grown man into a nest. please respond as soon as possible as i&#8217;m about to cum.</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> thank you, reader, for your thoughtless question. in literature, it is very easy for anything to happen because a writer can write his story exactly the way he or she wishes. if i wanted to, i could have had the man fly up there with his own pair of hidden wings&#8230; if i wanted. i hope this gets you off.</p>
<p><strong>Q:</strong> in the story, judy&#8217;s tit problem, you never mentioned whether or not she ever found the man of her dreams. i was hanging on that bit, but you pulled the rug out from under me. would you consider a follow-up to judy&#8217;s condition?</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> yes, that&#8217;s a good idea. a short follow-up could fill some space in my new book, &#8220;in the arse of the european pronunciation of ass&#8221;, quite nicely. thank you for your reply and i hope you consider nailing your rug down. it keeps the dust out. fuck you, by the way.</p>
<p><strong>judy&#8217;s tit problem &#8211; a follow up<br />
</strong><br />
remember judy, the young lady who had her breasts enlarged so she could attract the man of her dreams? you know&#8230; the lady who popped her tit with her broach pin and the thing just fucking blew the fuck up? remember? and the tit flew off and landed on the ground? bird picked it up? cock-sucker? oh come on, i just wrote the damn thing. how can you not remember? dude, is your brain on? neurons all firing? what&#8230; nothing but a brain stem in there? god damn it! you ruined my follow-up!</p>
<p><strong>fact:</strong> men suck dick better than women because men know what men like. But nobody sucks dick better than a fat chick, thus invalidating my initial sentence and replacing it with this one.</p>
<p><strong>a funny thing happened<br />
</strong><br />
ed called his dog. dog didn&#8217;t come. where&#8217;s that damn dog, said ed. dog didn&#8217;t answer. ed looked everywhere. he looked in the yard, he looked in the garage, he looked under the bed. no dog. but then, a funny thing happened.</p>
<p><strong>a couple of lady lizards<br />
</strong><br />
a couple of lady lizards were trying to blend in to the scenery so as not to be recognized by flies as a mortal threat, when suddenly they noticed a young male lizard, walking slowly towards them across the branch of a bush. &#8220;oh oh,&#8221; said zelda, &#8220;here comes trouble.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;give him a chance,&#8221; said linda, &#8220;we haven&#8217;t even seen his neck thing.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;if it&#8217;s big and red, i&#8217;m gonna puke.&#8221; zelda said, and then her tongue darted out to the left and caught a big juicy diptera by the back. half the fly hung out of her mouth as she began to chew.<br />
&#8220;nice one,&#8221; said linda. &#8220;that&#8217;ll keep you going for a few hours.&#8221;</p>
<p>meantime, leroy lizard was only a few feet away, and he inflated his neck thing a good half inch. the colors were glorious; reds, greens, a patch of vivid yellow. &#8220;god, did you see that,&#8221; said linda. that&#8217;s making my lizard pussy drip. somebody get me a mop, this boy&#8217;s got it!&#8221;<br />
&#8220;mmph mmph,&#8221; replied zelda, munching on the fly.</p>
<p>but in that instant and out of the blue, a giant cat paw plunged through the foliage and trapped the poor horny squamata by the tail, which broke off in defense and began to wriggle. luckily for leroy, the cat went for the tail instead of him. he wasn&#8217;t horny any more and darted away. &#8220;fiddlesticks!&#8221; linda said. &#8220;i just can&#8217;t get it on with an amputee. it&#8217;ll take days for that to grow back.&#8221; the stress of the moment made linda change colors, and after zelda got the fly down, she laid an egg.</p>
<p>&#8220;aw, fuck &#8216;em.&#8221; she said.</p>
<p><strong>tom miller tackles, the aristocrats</strong></p>
<p>a talent agent was sitting in his office looking over some of the new acts, when his secretary rang. &#8220;yes, mrs. fucklestein?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;there&#8217;s a man here who says he&#8217;s got an act that you won&#8217;t believe. he says it&#8217;s urgent.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;send him in,&#8221; said the agent. a few minutes later, the door opened and a well dressed man entered the office. he was holding a picture of his family.<br />
&#8220;how can i help you,&#8221; asked the agent.<br />
&#8220;good afternoon,&#8221; said the man. &#8220;my name is norman chandler and i&#8217;ve got an act that will blow away any other act in the world of entertainment. this act is so good, you&#8217;ll never believe it. all i ask is that you let me explain it to you. it&#8217;ll just take five minutes.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;all right,&#8221; said the agent, &#8220;you&#8217;ve got five minutes. but make it a doozy, because i&#8217;m counting.&#8221;<br />
norman held up the picture and showed it to the agent. &#8220;see this?&#8221; he said. &#8220;this is my family. they&#8217;re all in the act. see there, that&#8217;s my wife, norma. that&#8217;s my nine year old son, norm jr., and that&#8217;s my four year old daughter, numbnuts. she has scoliosis, herpes, and an anal fistula.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;anal fistula, what&#8217;s that?&#8221; asked the agent.<br />
&#8220;an anal fistula is a narrow tunnel-like passage that connects the remains of an old anal abscess to the surface of the skin. the opening of the fistula eventually becomes plugged with draining debris, causing the abscess to flare up again as a firm pocket of pus. but don&#8217;t worry, it doesn&#8217;t affect the act.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;a very nice family, indeed,&#8221; said the agent.<br />
&#8220;now what we do is this. picture it. the lights go down, the curtain rises, and there is my wife spinning a plate on a thin rod attached to a dildo that&#8217;s sticking out of her twat. she&#8217;s on her back and the plate is spinning. i start the plate spinning before the lights go up.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;i&#8217;m sorry,&#8221; said the agent, &#8220;you said a dildo? what?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;yeah, she&#8217;s spinning a plate on a stick attached to a dildo coming out of her cunt. she wiggles her cunt and keeps the plate going. it&#8217;s a trick she does. believe me, she can keep a plate going like that for a good ten minutes. anyway, while this is going on, i strip the kids and get them to pee on her. and while she&#8217;s getting peed on, i masturbate take a dump at the same time. i dump right on her face and jizz on her tits. the audience will never believe she can keep the plate going with all this distraction, but she can. we&#8217;ve been rehearsing this thing every day for months.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;go on&#8230;&#8221; said the agent. &#8220;i&#8217;m liking what i&#8217;m hearing.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;just when you think nothing better could happen, she flips the dildo stick out of her pussy and catches it in her mouth, and the plate is still spinning up there. have you ever seen anything like it?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;my god,&#8221; said the agent. &#8220;she can keep that plate going like that? even with shit in her mouth?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;oh yeah. we&#8217;re talking puss, piss, shit, at least 8 good shots of cum, naked children, anal fistula&#8230; nothing stops her. she&#8217;s a plate spinning freak is what she is.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;this is much better than the ventriloquist act i was gonna&#8217; hire. how does it end?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;well,&#8221; said norman, &#8220;here&#8217;s the clincher. my daughter, numbnuts, got her name because she was born with a set of nuts in her cunt. and when she holds her breath and squeezes her stomach muscles, the nuts pop out. tah dah! and for the finale, i barf in my wife&#8217;s pussy and fuck the kids with a burlap sack full of roaches. what do you think?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;it&#8217;s incredible. what do you call this act of yours?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;the aristocrats!&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>my wet pussy<br />
</strong><br />
my cat<br />
goes to the litter box<br />
hangs her ass<br />
over the side of the box<br />
and pisses on the floor</p>
<p>then she smells the litter<br />
in front of her face<br />
and scoops some of it<br />
over the other side of the box</p>
<p>she exits the litter box<br />
walks through the cat piss puddle<br />
and jumps on the bed<br />
and begins to kneed her piss<br />
into the sheets</p>
<p>i love her so much.</p>
<p><strong>How To Write As Good As Me Do</strong><br />
<strong>Chapter #1. The importances of technique<br />
</strong><br />
Many people who try writing as their primary thing do so not so goodly. This book, which i have wrotten myself, will help those writers whom seek to be a master of their calf. The first thing we will discuss in our discussion of the craft of writing as good as me do is, technique. When writing, it is helpful to first have an idea. For those whom don&#8217;t know, an idea is a thing that pops into your brain and all you have to do is to get it out of there and put it down on the page through our next technique: typing. Many people who chose to write have absolutely no idea how to type. But there are some things you can do to quickly master the art of typing. One of them is to take a typing course at your local community college. The other way to do this is to get on an internet and go to a typing teaching web page and learn from there. Although it may, at first, be difficult to type your way to a typing page on the internet, once you get there, your typing will improve. Soon, you&#8217;ll have no problem typing quickly and using the internet for information, communication, and lesbian mud porn.</p>
<p>The other way to get your idea down on paper is to write it with a pencil or pen. Most people have learnt this in school early on in their lives. If you are one of these people, you can write it just as goodly as you could have had with the typewriter, only maybe not as fast unless you don&#8217;t type so goodly and then otherwise the opposite of what i said before. But what makes a good story idea? The answer is that a good story should have a beginning, a middle and an end. If your idea has these, then when you type or write it down, your story will too. If your story doesn&#8217;t have a beginning, it won&#8217;t ever exist at all. If it doesn&#8217;t have a middle, nothing will tie the beginning and the ending together. Here is an example of a story without a middle:</p>
<p>Once upon a time, there was a man with a large brown beard and he was well dressed in clothing. And it fell to the ground with a thud and died, and as it did so, she couldn&#8217;t help but to wonder why the martians hadn&#8217;t killed her too. The End.</p>
<p>Not much of a story, is it. That&#8217;s because there is no middle. And of course if you don&#8217;t have an ending, people will feel the same way they feel during a blowjob that never goes anywhere. Most people want to cum. Here is how a story might end without an ending. And you noticed the story didn&#8217;t end there, it ends here. Oh my God, I came.</p>
<p>The End</p>
<p><strong>Rub Me</strong></p>
<p>He arrived at the game clad in only an adult diaper, much to the shock of the other players. &#8220;I&#8217;m here!&#8221; he announced, rather pompously. &#8220;Nobody does it better than I do!&#8221; And with that, he began to rub himself vigorously on the groin.<br />
&#8220;What the fuck are you doing, man?&#8221; said one of the players.<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;m rubbing it,&#8221; the gentleman replied. &#8220;Any of you guys can rub it better than this? We&#8217;re sure to win!&#8221;<br />
&#8220;That&#8217;s not how you play Rugby,&#8221; the player retorted.<br />
&#8220;Rugby? I thought it was, Rubme.&#8221; The gentleman stopped his rubbing and apologized. And the Rugby game did not excite him.</p>
<p><strong>The Failure of the Bunny Poems</strong><br />
or <strong>The Rotting Dead Otter in My Mother&#8217;s Asshole</strong></p>
<p>if i had a bunny<br />
i&#8217;d pet it&#8217;s little head<br />
and i&#8217;d treat it so nice<br />
until it was dead<br />
then i&#8217;d sweep the little bunny pellets<br />
out of my bed</p>
<p>bunnies are funny<br />
their poop is never runny<br />
they fuck, but not for money<br />
they&#8217;re not too fond of honey<br />
their dispositions, sunny<br />
for dinner, they&#8217;re a little gamey&#8230;<br />
tasting</p>
<p>there&#8217;s a bunny i know<br />
who hops around the floor<br />
the thing i hear<br />
is don&#8217;t grab them by the ears<br />
it&#8217;s a very painful thing<br />
and bunnies don&#8217;t like it<br />
so i grab them by the tail<br />
before i puncture them with nails</p>
<p>if you get a bunny<br />
and you put it in your butt<br />
the animal will bite your hole<br />
before you get a nut</p>
<p>the last bunny i fucked<br />
was bloody and tattered<br />
and bit on my dick<br />
until more blood was splattered<br />
this poem is disgusting<br />
and so am i<br />
i&#8217;m bleeding to death<br />
and so is my bunny<br />
which i then ate<br />
starting with his tiny bunny prick.</p>
<p>how&#8217;s that for a poem,<br />
fuckface?</p>
<p>also, it was gamey&#8230;<br />
tasting</p>
<p>and more, if i may,<br />
there&#8217;s a dead otter<br />
rotting in my dead mother&#8217;s<br />
asshole</p>
<p>and i&#8217;m going to eat that<br />
too, after i gargle to get the gamey<br />
taste of my dead bloody bunny&#8217;s cock<br />
out of my mouth</p>
<p>thank you,<br />
and now i have finished this poem</p>
<p>oh but wait, no&#8230;<br />
there&#8217;s even more.</p>
<p>no, there&#8217;s not more.<br />
i just said that to make you worry<br />
and having said that<br />
there&#8217;s now more when i<br />
said there wasn&#8217;t going to be</p>
<p>so i&#8217;m a fucking liar.</p>
<p>now the poem is really over,<br />
and i must wash the gamey taste<br />
of my dead mother&#8217;s rotting otter<br />
asshole bunny dumb dumb</p>
<p>Jesus Christ! shoot me!</p>
<p><strong>Seahorse Boy&#8217;s Education<br />
</strong><br />
&#8220;Dad&#8230; or mom&#8230; whatever you are&#8230;<br />
Where do baby seahorses come from?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh, fuck me.&#8221; Thought the adult seahorse.<br />
&#8220;I knew he was going to ask. How am I going<br />
to explain this one.&#8221;</p>
<p>The adult seahorse gathered his wits about<br />
him and began to speak.</p>
<p>&#8220;You see, son&#8230; if you are my son and not my<br />
daughter&#8230; What happens is a male seahorse<br />
puts his sperm into his own seahorse pouch&#8230;<br />
or something like that. And the female seahorse<br />
swims around doing the dishes. So in a way,<br />
we&#8217;re sucking our own dicks out here. But we&#8217;re<br />
really nice to look at. Does that help at all?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Dad,&#8221; said the young seahorse, &#8220;That&#8217;s some<br />
fucked up shit. Do you know what you&#8217;re talking about?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Watch your mouth, Snorky! At least we&#8217;re not<br />
roaches. Did you know roaches don&#8217;t even need<br />
to fuck? If there&#8217;s no mate around, they&#8217;ll just<br />
drop an egg, and I&#8217;ll be damned if the goddamned thing<br />
doesn&#8217;t hatch a new roach. You want to be a roach,<br />
kid? You want to be a roach? Who wants to look at a roach?<br />
You know anybody with a roach tank? Did you know roaches<br />
have a language made out of hissing? Is that what you want?<br />
You want to go around hissing and shitting unfertilized eggs that hatch?<br />
Just shut your fucking beak, okay? You&#8217;re lucky I don&#8217;t tell your<br />
mother&#8230; or my husband&#8230; or whatever the fuck it is.&#8221;</p>
<p>The End</p>
<p><strong>The Day my Nose Farted</strong></p>
<p>One day, I was enjoying my lunch; a delicious wild boar cooked in mayonnaise, shrimp and muskrat sauce, when suddenly my nose farted. And because this happened so close to my nose, i was nasally permeated with the ungodly stink of my ass and this made my wild boar cooked in mayonnaise, shrimp and muskrat sauce smell like diarrhea. Which was just the way it smelled before I farted. I went to the doctor and told him about my problem. &#8220;Your nose farted?&#8221; He said. &#8220;There&#8217;s no way that can happen. The human being isn&#8217;t biologically capable of reverse farting up through the body and out of the nose. &#8220;Oh yeah?&#8221; I replied. &#8220;Pull my finger.&#8221; The doctor pulled my finger and I let rip a nasal thundershnozzen that blew a hole through the wall. The odor was incredible. &#8220;That&#8217;s the damndest thing I ever saw and smelled,&#8221; Said the doctor. &#8220;But what do you want from me? I&#8217;m only a practicing physician. You need to go to a doctor that isn&#8217;t practicing anymore&#8230; one who knows what he&#8217;s doing.&#8221; So I went to a doctor who had practiced enough to know what he was doing and showed him my nose fart. &#8220;Oh that&#8217;s nothing,&#8221; The doctor said, &#8220;Watch this!&#8221; The doctor squeezed his eye shut and it farted. He farted from his eye and the smell was just exactly like my lunch, a delicious wild boar cooked in mayonnaise, shrimp and muskrat sauce. &#8220;See,&#8221; said the doctor, &#8220;You never know where you&#8217;re going to fart from. Next one may come from my balls.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;So what can I do about it?&#8221; I asked.<br />
&#8220;I can&#8217;t tell you,&#8221; said the doctor. &#8220;When I stopped being a practicing physician, I retired. Now all I do is fart from my eye.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;I know what to do.&#8221; I said. &#8220;Let&#8217;s start a band!&#8221;<br />
And so we did. It&#8217;s called, Mouthfart Nosefart Tittyfart Eyefart. Our music stinks.</p>
<p><strong>Questions of Logic II</strong></p>
<p><strong>Q:</strong> Are you mentally ill? I noticed many of the stories have language and ideas that are so foul, I question your sanity. How do you respond to this accusation? Because Frankly, I think you are mentally ill.</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> I&#8217;m glad you asked that question because it&#8217;s a question I&#8217;ve been wanting to put to rest for some time now. The answer is yes. I am incredibly mentally ill. And also, I fart from my nose, my eyes, my mouth, my balls, and from the asshole of the dead otter in my dead mother&#8217;s asshole. I hope this answers your question in no uncertain terms. And thank you for writing.</p>
<p><strong>Q:</strong> In your poem, The Failure of the Bunny Poems, you write that you sweep bunny pellets off your bed. That means there are bunny pellets all over the floor. Where do you sweep those?</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Under the rug.</p>
<p><strong>Q:</strong> The follow up to Judy&#8217;s Tit Problem was a funny gag, but you still didn&#8217;t resolve the issues brought up in the first Questions of Logic question about Judy&#8217;s Tit Problem. Did she or did she not find the man of her dreams? I was hanging on that bit but you pulled the rug out from under me.</p>
<p><strong>A:</strong> Now you&#8217;re standing in a big pile of bunny pellets.</p>
<p><strong>Once Upon a Time in the Maggot Factory</strong>, there was a problem with one of the gears. The whole thing had to be shut down and during that time, no maggots were produced. The CEO was so pissed. You should have seen him stomping up and down in the shit. &#8220;We need maggots! Get this thing back on line!&#8221; He screamed. &#8220;No maggots, no money. No money, no hookers. No hookers, no flies. We need maggots, people!&#8221; Luckily a few days later, engineers solved the problem, filed down the imperfections in the gear, and the maggot machine was up and running again. The maggots were produced with greater efficiency and there were maggots, money, hookers and flies for everyone on the earth to eat, enjoy, fuck and swat.</p>
<p><strong>Speaking of hookers&#8230;</strong> have you ever heard the story of Julia Flapbladder? One night, she was working her regular corner when a limousine approached and the rear passenger window rolled down. Julia stepped over to the vehicle and looked inside. There in the back was a 900 pound man. &#8220;Lady,&#8221; he said, &#8220;I&#8217;m Fatback-Dan. Nobody will fuck me because I&#8217;m built like a dirigible. Will you give it a try for 300 bucks?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Mister,&#8221; Julia Flapbladder said, &#8220;For 300 bucks, I&#8217;ll suck a Chinese guy up through the earth, in yer&#8217; ass and out yer&#8217; dick!&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Hop in, lady.&#8221; She did so, and off they went. It was a major struggle to get the man&#8217;s pants off. Judy had to resort to her sharp self-defense blade she kept hidden in her crafty vagina. But finally the man was laid bare and Julia began swimming down into the folds of fatback to get to where there may or may not be a penis. On the way down, she noticed several emaciated whores swimming around lost in there like a school of dolphins that lose their bearings and end up in fresh water lakes, barely able to breathe. &#8220;Hi Jessica,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Hi Mertle. Hi CoQuesha. Hi Jasmine. Hi Loquat. Hi Factitious.&#8221; Soon, she was about eight or nine feet below the surface and she saw a small object&#8230; it looked like a tiny pebble hidden inside a miniature dirty sock. &#8220;That&#8217;s gotta&#8217; be it,&#8221; Julia said to herself. &#8220;If I can just get my mouth on it&#8230;&#8221;<br />
Suddenly, she heard a loud pop. There was a tremor, then strong vibration, and then something that sounded like the roar of a steam train. And looking as best she could through the murky depths, she saw a tidal wave of brown and corn and white castle burgers rolling towards her like a tsunami. &#8220;Oh shit,&#8221; she heard the man say, &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry. I had to let it go! I&#8217;m sorry. I&#8217;m sorry, lady. I had to let it go.&#8221; And in the next few seconds, Julia Flapbladder was overtaken by a record sized tidal wave of wet angry crappy crap that washed her and her friends out of the lard, out of the car and back into the street. And in that frightful dark stanky pond of steaming throbbing flunch, the death throws of seven fish-flopping hooked hookers came slowly to an end. The limo sped off, screeching tires, fire from the tailpipe, and ran off the bridge into the sea where it sank and the resulting sludge killed off all life on the shores for miles and miles. And this is how in the arse of the european pronunciation of ass ends: with the end of life and the eternal stink of God&#8217;s bitter wrath.</p>
<p>The End</p>

<p><strong>The Glory of the Poem</strong></p>
<p>Oh, glory to thee<br />
The poem &#8211; the poem<br />
Feel my angst<br />
I am so angry<br />
And my forlorn loves<br />
All four of them<br />
Believe me to be<br />
Bad in bed<br />
And a waste of time<br />
And kind of a slime<br />
So I say again<br />
Oh, glory to thee<br />
The poem &#8211; the poem<br />
One day I will learn to rhyme</p>
<p><strong>Me Ernie 5 &#8211; The Legacy Continues</strong></p>
<p>I have a match<br />
Two pair of socks<br />
And I can not light<br />
My cigarette<br />
With it</p>
<p><strong>Mamma&#8217;s Boy<br />
</strong><br />
I am not a prancy boy<br />
Nor am I a fancy boy<br />
Some say I&#8217;m a Nancy boy<br />
Fancy fancy fancy<br />
I can sing and dancy<br />
Poo poo in my panty<br />
Oh so very rancid<br />
Rancid rancid rancid</p>
<p><strong>Let My Flowers Grow<br />
</strong><br />
Oh lovely flower<br />
With your radiant petals<br />
Calling out to me as if<br />
I were willing to<br />
Cover you gently with<br />
Fertilizer<br />
Grow<br />
Grow</p>
<p><strong>Couple of Old Bitches</strong></p>
<p>Mother is not fond of raisins<br />
Neither is Aunty May<br />
For raisins are grapes<br />
Dried out by the sun<br />
And so is Mother<br />
and so is May</p>
<p><strong>Eat Me<br />
</strong><br />
When a cannibal comes to<br />
Eat your flesh<br />
Do not run away<br />
Cannibals have spears which<br />
They can throw a real long way<br />
And surely you would suffer<br />
A humiliating wound<br />
The cannibal would cook you<br />
In a cast iron pot<br />
He would make you into soup<br />
He would make you into pie<br />
He would eat your asshole for dessert<br />
And likely bite your eye<br />
So when you see a cannibal<br />
Do not run away<br />
Or the cannibal would cook you<br />
In a cast iron pot</p>
<p><strong>Throwing Up Worms</strong></p>
<p>The<br />
Miserable<br />
Bird<br />
Sings<br />
About<br />
A<br />
Worm</p>
<p>Regurgitated<br />
Into<br />
The<br />
Mouth<br />
Of<br />
Her<br />
Baby</p>
<p><strong>I Doth for Naught<br />
</strong><br />
For sooth I say<br />
For sooth for sooth<br />
Fair lady only the moon<br />
Can compare to your<br />
Glowing full complexion<br />
Some say cheese is<br />
What the moon is<br />
Made<br />
of</p>
<p>I say,<br />
No&#8230; I think it&#8217;s dirt<br />
Like you<br />
And your face</p>
<p><strong>Quit Throwing Rocks at the Poor Hornets, They Ain&#8217;t Bothering You</strong></p>
<p>When comes a flock of hornets<br />
After me for throwing<br />
A rock at their stupid<br />
Nest<br />
I make for the water<br />
Blue as the night sky<br />
And fresh as a new born pup<br />
To protect myself<br />
From numerous stings<br />
These pesky insects<br />
Will eagerly and angrily<br />
Stab into my skin<br />
With their little butts</p>
<p><strong>Fly, Bird, or Pterodactyl?</strong></p>
<p>Fly<br />
I said to<br />
The bird I<br />
Helped nurture back<br />
To health<br />
From the pain<br />
Of a broken wing<br />
But I ain&#8217;t no fly, I&#8217;m a bird<br />
It said<br />
I released it into the wind<br />
It dropped like a stone<br />
As a pterodactyl might if shot with a torpedo</p>
<p><strong>Languish with Language &#8211; In 5 Parts</strong></p>
<p><strong>1.<br />
</strong><br />
Yaaahhh!<br />
Uga buga boo boo<br />
I am not frightened of you<br />
Moo moo a cow goes moo<br />
I need not your heathen milk</p>
<p><strong>2.<br />
</strong><br />
Galloping across the Sahara Desert<br />
A big green goblin<br />
Shouts and shrieks<br />
To let us know<br />
How goblins<br />
Shout and Shriek<br />
It&#8217;s like this:<br />
Yaahhh! Eeeeek!</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong></p>
<p>Lickity split<br />
Lickity split<br />
Lickity split some more<br />
Lickity split &#8217;till<br />
The juices flow<br />
Then let her lickity dick<br />
Lickity dick<br />
Lickity dick<br />
Lickity split<br />
Fuckity fuckity<br />
Fuck fuck fuck</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong></p>
<p>Fuck you, bitch.<br />
Get the fuck out, you fucking hole.<br />
What?<br />
What did you say to me?<br />
Nobody talks to me that way.<br />
Huh?<br />
Oh yeah?<br />
Well fuck you, mother fucker<br />
Fuck you<br />
Fuck you you fucking fuck fuck<br />
You fucking fucking mother fucking<br />
Fucking mother fucking fuck<br />
Fuck my fuck you fucking bitchbag<br />
Get your shit and get it the fuck out<br />
And you along with it<br />
And see this?<br />
See this fucking dick?<br />
You&#8217;ll never see this again.<br />
This is my dick now!<br />
My dick, you fucking twat!</p>
<p><strong>Poets Who Use Bitch And Fuck In Their Poems Are Weak<br />
Misogynist Pigs Who Wish They Could Write Like Real Poets</strong></p>
<p>Fuck you, bitch!<br />
Fuck you, cunt!<br />
Get the fuck out!<br />
Oh, and by the way,<br />
You&#8217;ll never touch<br />
My fucking dick again, you skanky bitchrag!</p>
<p><strong>If Only Her Eyes Said Love</strong></p>
<p>Her eyes<br />
Told stories<br />
She spoke<br />
With her eyes<br />
Her eyes waxed poetic<br />
And blue as the azure sky<br />
I found myself<br />
Lost in her<br />
Magnificent eyes<br />
And the stories they told<br />
My favorite was<br />
The one about<br />
That fox who was jumping to<br />
Get those grapes and<br />
When he couldn&#8217;t reach them<br />
He gave up and said<br />
So passionately<br />
So eloquently<br />
Like her eyes<br />
I didn&#8217;t want them grapes anyway<br />
I gracefully pick<br />
That junk out of the corners<br />
Of her eyes, her eyes, her eyes</p>
<p><strong>Mountains of the South</strong></p>
<p>Them is<br />
The mountains of the South<br />
I seen them once before</p>
<p>I seen them<br />
Mountains of the South<br />
Done seen them once before</p>
<p>I recollect<br />
We ate some possum<br />
Up on yonder hill</p>
<p>And if&#8217;n I recollect correctly<br />
It was pretty good</p>
<p>Grandma come a&#8217;runnin&#8217;<br />
And she took a terrible fall<br />
Grandpa try to catch her and<br />
He took a terrible fall</p>
<p>Mountains of the South<br />
That&#8217;s where my poppa beat me so<br />
After slugging several quarts<br />
O&#8217; dat dare moonshine dat he sold</p>
<p>Hot diggidy do da dog<br />
I hear them mountains singing<br />
Think I&#8217;ll fuck them cattle one more<br />
Time before I go</p>
<p><strong>Three Three Word Poems</strong></p>
<p><strong>1.<br />
</strong>Please eat fleas</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong><br />
Mustard Flustered Custard</p>
<p><strong>3.<br />
</strong>Ants oppose Anti-opposition</p>
<p><strong>4.<br />
</strong>Opulent and Mysterious Frogs</p>
<p><strong>Morals of a Milky Butt</strong></p>
<p>I know<br />
You may wonder<br />
Is this poem<br />
Disgusting?</p>
<p>Well<br />
Let me just give you<br />
The poop</p>
<p>When white milky substance<br />
Pours forth from your asshole<br />
Like some kind of alien goop</p>
<p>You can bet that&#8217;s some sick shit<br />
Right there mother fucker<br />
I&#8217;m sorry if this poem is gross</p>
<p>But at least it&#8217;s not nearly<br />
As sick as the time when<br />
Dead maggots bled out of my nose</p>
