it's like
being mugged by a mime
with a gun


who's trying
to make you believe
it's a finger

or the one about the jump rope
you'd rather

skip

better yet the submarine
with screendoors
or the pink flamingo

the lawn jockey
dogs playing poker
and the best for last

cats juggling

yes it's true
i  have a flavor
that takes a little getting used to
