 The Loops arrived in the mail today. From where they were sent...I could not say, but as I opened the package with trembling hands, my anticipation jump started my glands! And there amongst ribbons and pieces of scrap, and box flecks and binkers,and a big load of crap, I found there a wonder my eyes would behold... an authentic awe-maker...Loops made of gold!!! I just settled down on my haunches to stare, when my door busted open with nobody there! As I arose in my shock and my state-of-confusion, as though nothing was real and all was illusion, I peeked 'round the doorway and to my utter surprise was an alien invader with 11 pink eyes!!!!!!!!!!! I stood there agape with loose pieces of tape stuck on me by hasty unwrapping. I couldn't believe...yes,my eyes do deceive, or I must be in bed and still napping! As he focused that plethora of orbs on my body, he slid right on in saying,"Your abode ain't too shoddy, but have you a toidy?'Cause I gotta tinkle! You see,I haven't released in nearly a binkle!" When he dismounted himself from my porcelain urn, he returned to spurn me,but said with a turn, "Your doings are watched,so be careful of 'Oops!', so we're sending you an endless supply of gold Loops! I gasped as he bolted with eyes all entangled, then screamed when I found that my floor was all mangled, but I wondered while fuming,"Was this some kind of trick? Who would ever believe,no,not even a lick that a spaceman would visit then leave in such haste? To demolish my floor was in very bad taste! They'd believe I was nuts,out-of-mind,lost my noodles that Loops would arrive in oodles and oodles!" I just closed the door,when all of a sudden the house started shaking and I cried out then,"Whaddin...?" But I never got to finish my question. The rumbling that rumbled gave me indigestion. The curtains were whipping to beat the whole band. "It's 'Curtains!' ",I thought as I strangled my hand. The toilet was bubblin',I heard it at once, amidst all my grumbles and mumbles and grunts "Of all of the stupidest,perilous stunts! I let that freak use it! What am I,a dunce!!!!!" The clamour then climaxed to ease to a simmer. I hadn't a clue,not even a glimmer that what he implanted must be some transmitter that summons gold Loops through my porcelain "s#*&%@r"! Who'dve thunk such an exit would be point-of-entry? How could I have known I should've positioned a sentry? Through the rush of the water a vortex was stirred. "Should I flush?",thinking I,but then that is absurd to be treating gold Loops like some stinking brown word! Through the gurgles and dingles and klinks and vontoodles, through "Dancer" and "Prancer" and shnitzel with noodles, the Loops started shooting in oodles and oodles. You'd think Cockerspaniels were really French Poodles (?)! My mind was awhirl in a whirling deluge! The Loops all a-curl,some small,some quite huge streamed out like spaghetti in search of a plate, permeating the room in a magical state! They zipped over chotchkes and under the chair. They flipped over carpet with jolly good flair! They skipped up the bannister and marched down the stair. They even went through my skanties without even a care!!! I fell on my dupa,but then not hard at all. (You see,there were millions and millions,so they cushioned my fall!) Those gold Loops had then carried me out through the door, over the trampled-up box,over the mangled up floor. They filled up the street as they filled up my Heart, knowing ever and ever Loops and I'd never part! So if on one day a package arrives on your doorstep,don't misstep a thriving surprise. Your doings are watched,and be careful of "Oops!". You could find an endless supply of gold Loops! This is a true story that happened to me back in... (just kidding).You probably think that I'm slightly insane for writing this!I wrote this for my closest and most loyal friend,Johnny.You see,Johnny is very much a Sci Fi and cartoon fanatic...in fact,he is incredibly talented and has made his own cartoons when he was younger.You should see them!Anyway,I digress.He very much likes the cartoon character,Quick-draw Mcgraw (did I spell that correctly?).In the cartoon,there is another character that I am not sure of the spelling of the name,Bobbalouey.Five years ago,he started calling me "Bubbs", and I started calling him "Loops".So,back in 2/17/2002,I wrote this for him,knowing that he loves word-play,silly stories and Sci Fi and all,and emailed it to him as a surprise. I thought with Halloween coming up,I'd share this semi-edited,semi-creepy story with you all.I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it,and I hope you forgive the bits of "bathroom" humour! I did not mean to offend...just be a little silly! Peace,Geoffrey [This message has been edited by Street Heart (10-29-2002 05:24 PM).] |

I forgot to mention that when I sent this to "Loops",he told me the strangest thing! You see,he also is a big fan of the dog shows that are aired on the PBS channels.He was watching PBS the evening before I sent this to him,and saw an ad for the Dog Show that showed the winner the previous evening.He said that the winner was a Cockerspaniel (which he,himself,claims he is!?),but they showed a picture of a French Poodle! Now,you know,I MUST be psychic! :0 Geoff [This message has been edited by Street Heart (10-29-2002 12:43 PM).] |

This is quite a poem! Really neat! It put me in a good frame of mind to start the day. I like a story poem so it really hit the spot. Barb |
