Dirge of the Salesman
-The women tied up the airport
with Chief Complaint Day! So I
missed my appointment with
Old Man Tompkins and his kid.
-YOUR chief complaint?
-They got me fired last time.
Said I was a drunk.
-Were you?
-Went fake AA and Chubby Carl took
me back.
-And your record since?
-More misses than hits. More hangovers
than triumphs.
-Thinnest ice?
-You get used to it.
-By the way, what is the women's Chief
Compliant anyway?
-They're working up to it.

Punishing Women
...a drinking venue of some renown
-Trump wants to punish women.
-Good!
-Well, not generally speaking. In connection
with Abortion.
-Let’s stick with generally speaking.
-Really?
-Let ‘em have it! Then maybe they’ll stop
their lousy behavior before it starts!
-Premature punishment?
-You bet your ass!
-I’ve known you many a year, but this is
the first I’ve sensed greatness!
-I try.

Sides Of Coins
-He calls me Baby!
-What’s this? Forties noir flick? Sam Spade to
some blanched apprentice whore?
-I like it!
-What does he like? Have you shown him the
fanged feminist yet?
-He has seen--ahem!--all of me! And it’s not bad.
-Question of time!
-Yeah? Well it’s all on my side. It’s love love love!
-Stupidity in thirds!
-The total package!
-Yet another apostate! No matter: We go on!
-Hey, Seneca Falls a tremendous town, but you can’t
live there 24-7!

What the Sexes Know, Or Utility
Young Persons in Discussion
Men
-You want my conclusion?
-Hadn't thought to ask, but shoot!
-At work, in Washington, everywhere:
Everybody's totally full of shit!
-Profound enough for now.
-Except my girlfriend.
-A decidedly minor saga.
Ladies
-Last night I played the tapes of
the women who fought it through.
-Uh huh? Then back on the shelf?
-Like vacuum cleaners.

Victorian Melodramatic Novels
Lose patience with the stuffy
camp of lady overmuch pro-
testing innocence, and man
declaiming full-of-shit-isms.
Yet, keener women “fall” even
today as men preach less than
blessed assurance between
beer and ballgame.
So what has changed?
