photos on the way, text shortly thereafter, i trust

For those of you (16!) who've signed up for the postcard project, they'll be on their way very soon. I'm tickled.

If you need inspiration, you could do better, but also worse, than Mike Topp:

A FJORD

In Norway
I never saw a Fjord
But one day
I saw a Chjevrolet.

UNTITLED

I got a great job last Friday
but the pay is too low and the
work I do is humiliating.

*

LESS THAN NOBEL PRIZES

The Sordid Prize
The Scurvy Prize
The Vile Prize

*

CHAMPIPPLE

The only good thing I can think of to say about
Champipple (champagne + ripple) is that it made
me think that maybe I had been too hard on Sankaccino.

*

SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS

No animals
were injured or killed
in the writing
of this poem.

*

WAR

In November 1915 Chief Secretary of
Ireland Augustine Birrell said, "I, for
one, would forbid the use, during the
war, of poetry."

*

THEM HOT DOGS

How about Them Hot Dogs,
Ain't they neat?
Little piece of bread,
Little piece of meat.

*

TAPESTRY

Sometimes I think that my life
is like a tapestry, being woven
by God and history on an enchanted
loom. And then I think, "Hey, how
much is this thing going to cost?"

DISAPPOINTMENT

CHRISTMAS CARD FROM MY BROTHER

Dear Mike,

A deer like the one pictured on the front
of this card got hit by a car on Hobson Road
a few weeks ago. It then ran through the
sliding glass doors in Al Olson's apartment.
The cops came and shot it because it got trapped
inside and was wrecking the place. It made
the Progress. Merry Christmas.

Love, Randy

Fin-De-Siecle

Sometimes
everything
seems
like
um, whatever.

AS IT TURNS OUT

As it turns out they have relaxed the
restrictions and I think your son
should reapply. Make sure he wears
protective clothing since he will most
likely appear before one with a bird
head, one with a rat head, and one
with the head of a snake.
