Unknown, and yet many could name us,
We're feral, but some try to tame us.
Though no one will see
Us on film or TV,
We're renowned for our not being famous.
("Us" in this case is "them.")

Reflections of Virgin Maria,
Then Jesus on food? Mama Mia!
But that wasn't He,
No, it turned out to be
Just a Turk on a toasted tortilla.
A store that I found gave me pause.
What variety! Clothing to saws!
One shopper might ask,
While wearing a mask,
"Hi. Where do I find the men's bras?"
(I wear a 42 Long.)

People who can't make good puns are the most prone to hate them.
Puns don't work in stand-up, but an oxymoron or a spoonerism works, for some reason.
Jokes tend to be a dime a dozen. They usually come and go, but puns by Dorothy Parker will be remembered forever.
What a rare spirit was Parker, and the whole gang at the Algonquin Round Table also, rare as winged tulips.
Some O.V. Michaelsen:
I know a young woman named "Jack,"
Who appears to be dressed for attack,
But under her armor,
She offered one charmer
A wig made of hair from her back.
BOOK BLUES
Top authors must fight through stampeders.
I've read at a few empty seaters.
Yeah, word gets around,
And publishers found
That I tend to outnumber my readers.
A wealthy young fellow named Jim,
With emptiness filled to the brim,
Is a cynic and bitter, yet
Cultured and literate,
Focused on one side: the grim.
A Table.

6.5.10 Nice work Dennis Hopper.

At least two-thirds of our miseries SPRING from human stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity: idealism, dogmatism and proselytizing zeal on behalf of religous or political ideas.

I love cats because I enjoy my home; and little by little, they become its visible soul.

Authors like cats because they are such quiet, lovable, wise creatures, and cats like authors for the same reasons.
