Checking pipe-

this much spaghetti hung

Evolving Couple
-Be out with another couple and they’d say they wanna make the service at such and such. And we'd quietly seethe.
-How come?
-The shame from our parents forcing us!
-What changed?
-Gradual. Next time out with them, we mildly ridiculed.
After that, benign tolerance. Then...asked a few questions.
And, finally, went along with them.
-And now?
-Still going along.
-Look out the window. That's twilight.
-No hurry.
-Hardly Defenders of the Faith!
-They also serve...
-Time has of way of running out.
-We've got light-years.

New Death Problems
When Jerry came home from work he danced around with his infant daughter, her tiny fist closed round his index finger.
“My Princess! You’re my princess!” whirled he faster
and faster.
Jeanette finally caught up and snatched the baby away as
Jerry collapsed into a sofa, purple-faced.
When the medics came they shook their heads.
The new Jerry loves the dancing part, and friends
can’t tell the difference.
After the initial diagnosis, the cloning had started,
and Dr Ricky’s team had to put New Jerry into
the accelerator when Jerry started failing.
Jeanette confided to Lucy-Lil, “Like to get him
more interested in sex. Guess they didn’t plug
that component in.”
“Let’s go to Radio Shack!” Lucy-Lil insisted.
Jeanette shook her off, having to worry about Prudential.
They were refusing to pay off since Jerry wasn’t
technically dead under the Cloning Act.
But they did offer half the policy amount. Lucy-Lil spat
“Huh! They don’t even have HALF a leg to stand on!”

Trickle-Down
When guys upstairs
take short vacation,
ask me to look in
on cat. “Keep shower
just barely on,”
they implore,
“she likes going
in there for
occasional drink.”
Being cat-quick,
can snatch drips
from the air, but
mostly licks
the tiles.

Tour
He took me to a gigantic warehouse. Many people
revolved there.
"We call it the Turntable of Political Thieves. Just press the
button when a particular one is in position, and he or she fires out the chute."
"But how can I tell which are Republicans and which Democrats?"
"Does it matter?"
"To me it does. Republicans are artists!"
"Well, we can laser-dot them. You are forbidden, however,
to choose a masturbator."

After Janky rearranged the furniture, he bumped into things during 3-AM trips to the bathroom.
He finally put things back the old way, but continued
to bump them.
Got tiny nightlight then.
Has dreamed, though, of loud scrapings and massive shadows.

Impressive News Debut
-You're a first-termer and have already violated the
cardinal precept!
-With embellishments. O what a head!
-Never be caught in bed with a dead woman or a live boy!
You managed both at once.
-Well...been some drinking.
-The 9-1-1 call from the dwarf has gone viral.
Was he in the bed too?
-Takes such little space.
-Your bible-belting constituents will never send you back.
-I don't care. One-T-R as we say.
-Meaning?
-You can get rich in a term.
-Meanwhile, small criminal justice problem?
-Lady died of natural causes.
-And the boy?
-Cute!

Photo making the rounds
shows Wall St “talent”
with cash stuffed in
pockets and mouth.
In tableau and sketch
such alleged satire hard-
ly new. The crazy money
troopers have split our sides be-
fore with Victorian melodramas
of sobbing widows and orphans
thrust into the freezing night,
or the maiden forced to deal
you know what or face another
ruining. Audience jeers her on.
The sarcastic claim such hacks
lack all soul. Though not in their
profession, grace does manifest
in these hilarious takes on showbiz.
University psychiatrists retort, though,
the whole business demonstrates
deepest internal loathing. Oh well,
those good doctors pilloried
soon enough in mad
Germanic accents.

Love in the Afternoon
-(singing) with Celias up in...
-So long as it's not Carls. Your district wouldn't forgive that.
-Very high a few times and found short hairs on the pillow.
-Highest proportion of churchgoers in the world!
-Yeah but the sermons are abstract, really. Fiery but abstract.
And nobody wants to deal with sex.
-And what does your wife...?
-Like gunmen of old, she's got a partner.
-I hesitate to ask.
-Women soothe each other so much better. We find their network too fuzzy.
-Oh I can see the papers now and hear the TV jerkoffs.
Rural Cesspool!
-We have a small city or two in my bailiwick. And the activities in question are quite decidedly urban.
-Such a story’d have legs!
-Not a chance. There's been some nosing, but nobody talks down here. The few who have are shot dead out of
general principles.
-I'd throw in the sponge right now!
-Wise. This is my last term.
-Leaving a field littered with...?

-Your Mr Pelham has carved himself a baseball cap from pillow foam.
-He's amusing. Does things to amuse the rest.
-Baseball caps are forbidden because of the haphazard ways they can be worn.
-Well, not strictly a baseball cap. Besides, where's the harm?
-That's always the first question on the road to chaos.
-I'll seize and destroy it.
-And him.

Justice Delayed Is Not Justice Denied
Much blab inside the forums
of revolutionary revenge
against the 1%. Uh huh.
Well, laws exist to claw
molto back from their most
grotesque of brigands. Hearts
in righteous bosoms pray
legislators so rawly bribed,
and winking-nudged enforcers
will be broadly shamed thereby.
Good luck with that, and further
feel-warm moralistic fantasy.

Not really. Mostly turned off

while waltzing into the booth he

closes the deal. Which? Depends

The Bizarre Decision
And in disastrous aftermath, whence

Who rides the bench, drying
his hands with a towel.
Itching to get in the game
and foul.
