re-usable lottery tickets

a heron eating herring

the electric spoon, heated so soup won’t cool from bowl to mouth

In time, you’ll find it none too wise
To base your acts on other guys.

a newscaster’s slip: “black market” for “Blackwater”

a spork with a knife for a handle: it requires a special mitt so you don’t cut your hand

It’s disturbing to see a dog dump on the sidewalk when it’s dressed in a jacket and booties.

Turn a Gideon Bible into a puppet: round eyes on top, book opens to become mouth.

pay pay yap yap

discomfort food

You cannot barter
With a martyr
Perhaps you could
If he were smarter.

    This may be one of my favorite collections. The doggy dump may take the prize, though they’re all nice.
