Are Thanksgiving turkeys ever grateful?
Do sacrificial lambs bleat they’re happy?
Can drunks love mornings following snootfuls?
Will old turtles one day make it snappy?
I age and ponder these ocean-deep thoughts
swimming like shark schools through my cranium.
I wonder why bad colds are even caught.
Do gerbils relate to geraniums?
Was that old woman in a shoe married
to a heel? Why does Humpty Dumpty crack
me up? Where do opera singers carry
tunes? When should you give a press agent flack?
Compute in a cloud? But what if it rains?
Do my teardrops mean water on the brain?
