Let us put on the
Sleep apnea masks and
Take a nap
On a bed of diet soda.
4000 years have passed
Since Job lamented,
“My kids never call,
My BMI is over 40
And the landlord still hasn’t
Spackled the shower curtain.”
When Dylan Thomas
Made the turkey chili recipe
That Sylvia Plath gave him
He was out of chili powder.
And turkey.
So he substituted lint
From his dryer.
John cleared his sinuses
By having his only suit altered
Which caused an entire generation
To learn stenography.
History repeats itself
And also has Tourette’s syndrome,
While Michelangelo had rhinoplasty-
Transforming his nose into a pill organizer.
But Lao Tzu and the Zhou Dynasty
Will attest that
An oil change must include
An air filter.
Pythagoras agreed, as did
Zarathustra who had his tires
Stolen while he was inflating them.
Glory! Give Thanks!
And call your Mother.
