I "Fish out of water" Flip flops desperately, little lips sucking air thinner, eyes bulging grotesquely. I know it will die yet I lip my chops knowing it's going to be dinner. II "You are what you eat" Takes me to pregnancies... chocolate milk and velveeta cheese fulfilled my cravings though I couldn't see my knees. III "Chicken with its head cut off" Visions of Foghorn Leghorn and the antics of his protégé, "Ah say, mah boy, ya don't..Ah say ya don't kill no chickens doin' it wit that thar gilloti..." SSSSLICE *thunk* Foghorn runs around with his head cut off, his beak eating dirt, spits out a stern, "Ah say, mah boy, ah don't, Ah say, ah don't evah learn" IV "Die with a smile on my face" Images of perishing in the billowy sheets by the bedstand. On an ambulance call of that exact nature, I saw no evidence of a grin on the dead wife's face. Shame on that husband!  ...chanson~ Music, tonal clear & pure, Caresses the harshest of curves. -Song of Gesture |

Yes I know, the seriousness of the situation was.....well, serious....but see that little devil? It certainly is naughty.  If it is at all possible to be serious today, then now would be the time to offer you a serious thank you for enjoying these poems. So.....thank you, Wil! Seriously ...chanson~ Music, tonal clear & pure, Caresses the harshest of curves. -Song of Gesture |

Chanson, I laughed at the first three, cried at the last. How do you do that girl, switch tracks so rapidly? Be well Kethry Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. Gail Sheehy |
