Of Cats in Misery
Rickery’s Birthday again and we
must hear of wasted talent, a life
thrown away!
Mostly in Music, a field where
no human has shown less
aptitude.
Voice, specifically. Put you
in mind of cats in misery.
Would truth help?
Sitting him down and talking etc?
Seldom, in parallel cases.
That’s what friends for then?
To lie?
Here and there.

Returning
They meet after a long while,
returning gifts to Home Depot.
Later, their serving Elf had lost
a couple of steps at Santa's
Coffeehouse, so she remarks
"We were such Idiots!"
"Age appropriate."
"I don't think I like that.
It implies I'm never really
calling the shots."
"You dance. We danced."
"I'd like to try The Lindy."
"Just need a partner."
"Not really."

Siege
-Of all the men!--so called.
He sticks!
-Well...he was never inept
in the romance category.
-Just all others.
-He drives me to chemo.
And is moving in here,
no ifs ands or buts!
-A team?
-Yeah! Would you believe it?
-(sings) They keep their girlfriends
warm at night.
-He does that. And right now the...
-The most important thing on
the face of the earth is staying
alive!
-It's...a mean face!
-But you still like hanging around it.
-Things I haven't done yet, and I
don't even know what they are.
-You will when you do 'em.
-By the way thanks to you too for...
-Sticking since the sixth grade.
-Mr Ferris!
-Just needed one little push to
a nervous breakdown, but we
relented.
-Saw him at Jiffy Lube before
Mr Big C smashed in on you here.
-Did you apologize?
-Sorta. But he said he loved every
moment of it.
-We did some good then! How come we
thought the opposite.
-Because we're assholes.
-Are we now?
-No time.
-That's the big word. How much left!
-Come to lunch Saturday. He's planning
something.
-He cooks too?
-Didn't you know? Hotel Chef.
-Maybe you already died and went
to heaven.
-Let's avoid that luck.
