Don't Press Your Luck
Poem
Why images of ruins...
In the classroom?
On television,
Everything was all
Until presses
The ball...
Inhale
Exhale
Inhaled
Exhaled...
See a pattern?
Oh well,
Don't press luck.
It'll press back.
A ricochet with a black eye
Or aches.
Something bad.
But, when it curse,
The Doc I'll call when
Too much hurts.
A fake!
Inhale really does come first.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
