Hey, How’s It Goin?
You last letter left me simultaneously dismayed and delighted. It’s no wonder you needed a moment to gather your emotions and send them off on a hot air balloonn ride while you create an extra N and sneak it onto my page. I saw them floating over Maine but the hurricane disappeared them into oblivion. Yes that’s a place. Remember? We went there in the summer of ’84. Oh. No. Sorry. That was Bolivia. Dyslexic bo’s made an ob. Oh yes, we did meet that dyslexic boa constrictor. It kept straightening out to try and kill us. We couldn’t stop laughing! You kept poking the stick at it to make it mad and boom! straight as a board! Oh what times we had back then. Nothing like our world now. Where dismay and delight betwix like DNA in the … betwix? betwine? entwix? I dont’ know some stupid word I’m not going to scamper off and fetch. It’ll come home when it’s hungry. They always do. Slamming themselves against the doorbell at umpteen-thrity AM. Good thing I installed that robot butler. I don’t have to move a muscle to reclaim what is rightfully mine. Sure, he think he’s a soldier and shot the neighbors rose bush with the water cannon last week, but it was wilty anyhow. Some people, I tell you! Getting all uppity about nothing. Those roses haven’t been this happy in DECADES! Happy happy roses. I guess she likes sad roses. I’ll be sure to send her a bundle when they all die. Sorry, that was a horrid thing to say! I wish I could take it back. I mean, I could. But that would require rewriting it in erasable ink, erasing it, and writing over it and that just doesn’t work as well now that all the erasable pens have been banned from the planet. Sucked them all right up into her spaceship and sent the whole thing into orbit. I wave to them every night when they whoosh past. It’s the purple star in the sky. I mean what did she expect? Take all the pens into space and they wouldn’t explode and turn the spaceship purple? You know she did it on purpose so we’d all know which starlight was hers.
Oh dear, wandering all over the place. Dismayed and delighted. May was dis’d and light was de’d we all sat helpless millipede. Sorry, nothing else rhymed. All the word were taken. All the days un-timed. All the knights forsaken. All the wonders blind.
shut up
it works
and you know it
mr mow it
turn that thing off!
ordered words can’t be birds but don’t worry because that wasn’t a poem!
love & hugs & fierce toward cliffs slugs,
say THAT 5 times fast
that that that that that
