Author's Notes: Still waiting for my most recent poem and entry into the Moment of Silence challenge. It's a funny one...to counter all the weird, terrifying, chilling, depressing and gory stuff. Anyway...

Had this bumping around a while, felt no better time than the present to release it into the world.
