School's Out For the Summer
A sonnet: three parts commiseration, one part promise.
The last school days drag long in rising heat:
the students limp with hot and tired bones,
the teachers just as weary, just as beat,
scolding over notes and buzzing phones.
Like a magnifying glass and ant,
the classrooms wilt through windowpanes and sun.
The class's hamster even starts to pant -
all the kids are ten degrees past done.
There's tests to give, and and things to learn; the year
has not yet started to wind down. But when
the teacher asks if she is being clear,
no hands get raised; all minds have spaced out - zen!
Don't fear, dear children! Summer's coming fast -
so soon, that final bell will ring at last.

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.
