Everythng In Its Place
-The Free Market!
-Uh huh? I’ll give you this: You can never jettison
all the crooks and charlatans, so no fair trial of it ever!
-Real Libertarians maintain that the lowlifes, finally,
fatally, screw themselves. Thus the people will get rid
of them by simply withholding their trade.
-Your mother raised at least one Dancing Fool!

Losing Bits
Knowing Our Time
“Are you sure you want Glomohs and not Wixters?”
“Yeah, what the fuck!” So Rip had ticked Glomohs.
Everybody went nuts on his Board after!
“We can’t get on! It’s jump though hoop after hoop! Did you change anything?”
“No.”
“Come on! You bastard!”
So he confessed, and had to change it back, not ever knowing what the terms meant.
In a year, he knew what nothing meant.
“I been trained,” he joked.

The Future of Higher Education
Working Scholar
Brencher knew his PhD from The Interstellar
University was earned by doing practically
nothing.
Now teaching at a prestigious institution
in New York State, he didn't fear getting
exposed as a fraud, since he each day
introduced a controversial topic and let
the students fight it out.
Inserting, of course, a hmmm or uh huh.
Today, a twentieth century song: You picked
a fine time to leave me, Lucille!
Males and females lined up rhetorically,
and let fly.
He graded on class participation, not wanting
to read anything the simpletons might compose.
Some few sat with sarcastic faces, but he forced
them to speak also.
Thus could he give all of them A's.
Dean called him in. Danger-Time!
But he just complained that the average grade
had become A for the entire university.
“WE'VE LOST OUR STANDARDS!”
As Dr Brencher headed for a seminar for the professors
entitled Creative Instruction in the Twenty-Eighth Century,
he couldn't stop laughing.
When tears rolled down his cheeks outside the Student Union,
Melissy Oxard, one of his students, felt it mirrored his soul.

Senators in Victory!
Two Sens (Part 1 or 2)
-And the lesson to be drawn from
our mutual election? Twin triumphs!...
but this HAS to be my last Scotch!
-That the people wish us to continue
fucking them. And the night is young!
---
Two Sens (Part 2 or 1)
-Can’t tell if that’s a burp or a fart.
-No matter. Like a trumpet of triumph!
-Dicey for a bit, but the people reverted
to their natural stupidity.
-Money talks.
-And do we LISTEN!

Mistakes named for workers
Examples:
-Almost Marlowed the entire bunch
but Grumpy came up with a fix.
-The new kid Grumpied the makeover
work, first thing I give him. But, he’s bright.
He'll catch on.
The newest foreman, Hodge, wasn't immune.
He ruined a small lot before his elevation.
And now he, even, refers to the same mistake:
-Let's everybody be careful on that big job!
I don't want any Hodging!
When Marlow died, we thought we should
desist in his case, but habit took hold and we
still kept labeling that particular screwup
after him.
Grumpy pronounced -It's his memory forever.
-A mistake? sneered Hodge.
-We're human. He stays with us this way.
The question persisted: Why did Marlow die anyhow?
Grumpy opined that he was too happy.

Praising America
Patriot’s Sundae
I didn't worry that the Administration and its
fierce Party labeled my unemployment
insurance as a crippling entitlement against
the whole country.
But then, they persuaded Congress to eliminate the
program on the philosophical ground that it lacked
the real starving possibility that got folks off their ass.
Thus, yet another blow to natural laziness.
No problem with this last here. Our shop had work
out the door and stretching to Kalamazoo!
Overtime mandatory, which was fine with me.
Was. Whole shebang to Latvia. Our labor just too costly.
Sometimes, you get the chance to give back wages?
But not in this case.
After a couple of months, when the old government
handout would’ve come in handy, and we exhausted
our savings, and our daughters couldn't play soccer
because we couldn't afford the uniforms, I landed
on my feet at Dollar-O-Rama!
The best thing here: we buy up the food that
supermarkets throw away, and some WE actually
throw away. Well, no more! That last goes to OUR table.
My wife last week took a smashed blueberry pie and
blended it with her homemade yogurt. Great!
We called it our Patriot’s Sundae.
The girls bragged about it, and we had to stand up
at their next game. The announcer said that praising
us was praising America!

The Place of Coffee and Enactment
Misty complains that Rudolph is not getting
Buck right.
Misty:
He’s all four-letter words!
Rudolph:
It’s acting. We suggest. If it’s one f-word
after the other, it’s too disgusting.
Misty:
Yeah it is! That’s him!
Darla steps in and plays Buck. She’s withering!
Rudolph:
Wow! Hidden fires.
Darla:
I suppose. I do fury!
The judge has decreed that Buck come in later
and watch the DVD. He sits like a librarian.
Buck:
A broad as me? How chick-flick!
Rudolph:
You’ll hafta watch it again and again if you don’t
say something positive.
Buck:
She uglier than I am.
But Buck does offer to play a part in the next psychodrama. He’s assigned sex-addict Carly. Really shimmies, even grabbing Rudolph by the crotch.
Rudolph:
Ouch! Don’t get carried away!
Buck:
We can be. Together.
In this tender moment, news comes that Rhonda has missed this performance to buy a gun!
Misty:
So what? It’s a Right To Shoot State!
But Darla inquires on her cell, finding out
it’s a gift to Rhonda’s mother for Mothers’ Day.
Buck:
So sweet! Like you!
Darla:
Stick to Rudolph, you pig!
Now Misty informs Buck that if he didn’t clean up
his act right now, she’d...!
Buck:
You’ll get Rhonda’s mother to shoot me, or Rudolph to blow me!
Rudolph:
You’re sub-human!
Buck:
You’ll love it! Ask Misty about my humongous package!
More Words follow, and Buck destroys the furniture. Cops get there, and him in a
choke-hold, and he squeaks out:
I’m innocent! They’re the criminals! Breaking up
loving relationships!
Misty has a change of heart then, hitting one
of the cops.
Buck:
See?

The Reach of Mathematics
Hubby
-After lovemaking... and I cringe to use
that phrase.
-You cringe to use any phrase.
-I thought I'd be clever back then.
-That's a reach always.
-So I said "That's all gratifying enough,
but how does it work mathematically?"
-Severe mistake.
-She ran with it and hasn't shut up since.
-Even now? Old Married Folks.
-Worse!
-Well, how could you know she was a mathematician?
-She's hardly a large number, but she's the
large number girl!
-A trillion, she's just getting started.
-It never stops! Even now, she's sleeping,
but all the computers in the house are
buzzing equations. Endless stream.
-Love’s a strange amalgam.
-Stranger yet. Herself, she just fiddles
on a legal pad and sings. It's nonsense,
but the whole world comes to...
-You know, you been looking dowdy. Let me
comb your closet for something
sedate but sufficiently masculine.
The latter to eventually alleviate the Minimalist Husband Syndrome at the Nobel.
-Hey! Minimalist I love. Screw it! Let's go to
the hockey game and scream our asses off.
-Let's go to ten. Fast! She's on the short list.
Distinguished! She'll win! Some of it will rub off.
-I hope not!
-Why don’t you aspire to aspire?
-One's enough! How many empty Rice Crispie boxes do you wanna pick from the shelves?
-They also serve who straighten out the
petty shit?
-She's crazy about me!
-Part of her insane parcel.
-I'm King, I'm fuckin King!
-Maybe more like Dan McGrew. “With the first shot he stiffened, second one he fell, third, a new
man's face in hell!"
-You be Dan. I'm Louis Fourteen!
-Think of each face in hell in an entirely vast
panoramic shot, then zoom out leaving each
