please bear this in mind
while petting my supine cat:
he’s not for eating

our faces were red
when the stern censure came down
from the Navajos

his fond memories
of that untamed, yeasty minx
eclipsed the herpes

armed with intellect
I’ll cudgel you with knowledge
or this table leg

I bought you a yacht
so what’s all this foofaraw
about back taxes?

imprecated by
a sullen Pat Robertson
Tina was unphased

his best dreams found him
swallowed up by the eddies
in a grand spittoon

in its final month
Dinah’s book club was sundered
by Ayn Rand herself

the interregnum
between their hall monitors
was uneventful

oblivious to
Wimbledon’s punctilios
Steve wore body paint

as we lie longing
for a favonian breeze
the seagulls take aim

his exegesis
of Puff the Magic Dragon
earned him detention

some opponents of
my nascent “daycare service”
didn’t like my van
