capsalad (Dave Schulman):
Abacination
At the edge of town there is a tree
A tall tree
Nice too
Branches curved and spare
Tangle in the nitrogen web
A big tube.
Tree, tree, tree
Wabah.

Groobies
Sometimes my ink greens up blues out goes red fades to black.
Extended groobies
On the day pronouns had no antecedents, she gave her her vegetables in
return for a handwritten note and some vitamins to give to them. But
*he* had the groobies, so they were forced to settle for gum and
pipe-weed and paper matches.
Clouds of smoke roiled upwards from them, and why shouldn't it because
they were all smoking their pipes. One had remembered her brothers in
Saigon; one stirred his ashes and gazed at the vegetables which were
the source of all the bargaining. She watched him stir uneasily,
watching the vegetables. Their eyes never met.

Wipers
She began by naming her son Archibald.
Archie grew tall and thick; grew like a puddle of water and soapsuds
Surrounding a newly washed Ford.
Archie saw water; he saw rubber; he saw glass and shining plastic.
Turned them over and over in his mind.
Asked his mother for five things: some luck, cool air, sun, wind,
and two dollars.
He bought some things at the drugstore
And made a squeegee, the first squeegee.
He showed his mother how it magically pressed water away from her
windows.
She sighed, nibbled at her raisins, said, "Oh, Archibald."
Windows became opaque with calcium hard-water deposits.
Archibald wiped his dismay from his mind.
Squeegee: Archie, we're proud of you.

Banjo Bird
Banjo Bird he a quiet one
Banjo Bird he pick and slide
Fretbend, twang, bowng
People smile at him
Wave away
Come down to the courthouse share the seed
Cage builders you all
Welcome to enter the home of Banjo Bird
Banjo Bird the Beautiful
Bobble up and down on cornstick legs
Look at you, look at me, pick and slide
Amaze the trade of banjo bird buskers
Banjo Bird can you compete?
Will you play me a song?

The Puppeteer
It became important to use toothpicks on the day that
Ichorous Kermit was pulped by a city bus.
I could not admit that I was watching; I told my friends that
I wasted no time on Broadway.
I walked, then ran.
I arrived out of breath at an airport in Idaho;
It seemed that the potato field I was in had more than just potatoes
In it.
Isn't it strange how these things turn out?
I fell down the stairs
Isolated from my all-sustaining strings
Insulated from my friends' linings.
"In case of fire, break glass," I thought, but wasn't convinced.
Idiot.

Tobacco-man and Cheap Furniture
His ruthless construction left him no percentage
He sold out for eighty dollars and a pouch of chaw
Rented a U-Haul, moved out his bed and his chairs and his flagpole
Piece by piece
Took down his accusing dropcloths; set up for nothing
Slept sadly.
Tobacco-man brought a pouch of chaw to his new home
Put a quarter down for more when he ran low.
He and his home were stained now; he didn't mind
He saw pattern in the rugs
Then he bought a Zippo lighter and a can
Of
Gasoline. He combined them; smoked
contentedly for .005 seconds.
Bad furniture scattered to the four winds
Vinyl flying
I told you so.

Why do florescent lights hum?

*************************
An engineer, a physicist and a mathematicians have to build a fence around
a flock of sheep, using as little material as possible.
The engineer forms the flock into a circular shape and constructs a fence
around it.
The physicist builds a fence with an infinite diameter and pulls it together
until it fits around the flock.
The mathematicians thinks for a while, then builds a fence around himself
and defines himself as being outside.

Bicycling to work is actually faster than driving a car (you can ignore
the traffic lights, stop signs, and traffic jams!).

rlcarr (Rich Carreiro):
Bucyk: Well, here we are in sudden death overtime on the last day of
the season. The Bruins have to win to avoid being eliminated from the
playoffs. A tie will do no good, and there are only 30 seconds left
in the game.
Sanderson: That's right Fred, and it doesn't look good for the B's.
Having this face-off in their own end will hurt. Also, Harry "HUM-D"
DuPont has been playing excellent defense for the Habs, and Thesis
Supervisor has been stonewalling the B's in goal.
Bucyk: Waiting for the face-off, it's Neely and Carbonneau.
Carbonneau wins the draw and kicks it over to HUM-D, he shoots...
SAVE, REGGIE LEMELIN!!!
Sanderson: HUM-D really got all of that. What a shot from the point!
Bucyk: There's only 20 seconds left, Burridge has it with Carreiro on
the wing and oh...
Sanderson: Burridge was smashed in the face and he's down, but Grey
won't call anything!
Bucyk: Carreiro recovers the puck, 13 seconds left and the B's have
pulled Lemelin. HUM-D races for Carreiro and WHAT A FAKE BY CARREIRO!
HUM-D is out of the play! Carreiro is coming in alone on Thesis
Supervisor. The blast from the point...SAVE, SUPERVISOR! Only 5
seconds left now, Carreiro takes the rebound in traffic, is hit...the
backhander...SCORE, RICH CARREIRO!!!!!
Sanderson: Wait -- the Canadiens are claiming the period ended before
the goal. Grey and the linesmen are huddling. The crowd here at the
Garden is screaming. Grey's coming over to the scorekeeper and
THE GOAL IS GOOD!! THE GOAL IS GOOD!!! And the Bruins eliminate
Thesis Supervisor and the Canadiens.
Bucyk: NHL Commisioner Kim Wainwright is coming out to give Carreiro
his reciept for the game-winning goal. After four years the Bruins
have finally advanced to the playoffs!
Sanderson: And the final score in sudden death overtime, Rich 1,
Thesis 0!
