Page 24 - Aerostat

It doesn’t have to be this way;
But there is nothing left to say.
The rest of my life starts today:
Have I omitted a cliché?

The past is a subject
I should be taking up:
What do I remember,
What am I making up?

Even when their rolling’s over,
And all their itching has finished,
Dogs don’t care it wasn’t clover:
And their pleasure’s not diminished.

Toast

I’m stuck in the middle
Of a roller coaster:
A slice on the griddle
Of a solar toaster.

“Don’t have a cow, man!”
Says Bart Simpson for a laugh.
Who’s laughing now, man,
When a glacier has a calf?
