The Absurd, The Stupid, And The Silly
peanut butter
as a haiku theme, yucky
tofu, maybe
my battery charger
runs on batteries
it was cheap
my complaint letter
to the pen company
ran out of
I save plastic bags for trash
and one to fill with all those bags
to throw in the trash
ash tray sounds better
than butt tray, face the fact
euphemisms lie
enter your PIN number
do you mean my Personal Identification Number number?
nothing to eat
my fridge works good though, it keeps
out of date food cold
a summer sunset,
a sensational evening
swatting mosquitoes
I keep my landline
I need it to call my cell
wall phones are hard to lose

And ____ my memories.
My life has passed like a :

I dress in + sizes for my clothes
And what I’ve learned is this life =

I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing
than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance

I'll bet...
that one of your favorite comics was George Carlin! Must be why I like your stuff, 'cause he was one of my favorite ones. Glad to have read this first thing this morning. Started my day off with a good laugh, thanks. ~ Gee.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

Gee
Carlin was superb, sometimes his political views toward the end of his career were over the top
but, other than that, I really liked his stuff.
glad you enjoyed
thanks,
Al
