Month: September 2022
The hostess is a little anxious.
EBONY – I mean anybody – can sit on the
CONCH – sorry, couch. Conches are uncomfortable. Just
ATTIC – I mean a tick, and I’ll get the
STAFF – I mean stuff – we’re eating for dinner.
Hodgepodge 3, Homage to Piggy
ATTIC: top of a house in Athens, doubly denoted,
EBONY: and ivory living in perfect harmony on my piano,
STAFF: You. Cannot. Pass! Thunk.
CONCH: Oh, Piggy-crushed by the woe of a fallen world.
Relics
EBONY chest, dusty from decades in the
ATTIC, rests patiently with its treasures within:
CONCH from the tropics, teeth and claws from the jungle,
STAFF from the icy mountains climbed long ago.

Unexpected
STILTS my head was tottering on;
CAPER my soul did, at an awkward
ANGLE, the night I saw the staid pastor,
CIGAR in mouth, smoking in a manner untoward.
Dragon on Stilts
ANGLE on life: carefree and playful, Grab
CIGAR from humidor, then up onto, one hop,
STILTs, in TRex costume, all swooshy step.
CAPER! Littlest kids will recall a dragon’s strut.
The Big Show
CIGAR hanging at an odd
ANGLE, the aging performer grabs his
STILTs, sighing, hoping for one last
CAPER in the big tent.

Death by drowning
The
BELLE of the ball sadly has
DROWNed in a pool full of
ALGAE, with nary a sound. Let’s
HEIST (I mean hoist) her onto the ground.
