Arborist's Dog
Too serious in life, and suddenly, there was no time to teach you to smile. I wallowed in my heartache awhile and thought I’d get a dog since you had been fond of them. I returned home one day to find that dog tangled and swinging from your arborist harness, hung where you left it. “Super Dog”, flying, subdued, and contrite. I spotted the biscuit on the floor below him, and I laughed in spite of myself. As I got the little dog down from his traces, I realized, you had learned to smile! And I smiled too.

Chop Chop
I was running from my ex girlfriend. She was chasing me through the restaurant. “Come on Eddie, you always wanted to know what our secret ingredient was. Now that you dumped me, I really want to show you,” she said, smiled and lunged at me with the knife. She missed. She threw it at me and hit my neck. “I’m sorry, honey, we just weren’t getting along,” I said before falling to the ground. “Chop chop,” was the last thing she said to me before I passed out. She then cut me up and served me as a side dish!
