THE WRATH OF MOME
while suffering the wrath of mome
i wandered far away from home
i hopped aboard a trolley car
and hopped off at the nearest bar
in palsied hands i gripped the glass
‘what’s wrong, old sock?’ said Darla Bass
‘the wrath of mome,’ was my reply
she fell back stunned and turned to fly
departed with a strangled cry
i fell face-down upon the floor
scuttled swiftly out the door
oh how e’er long must i roam
while suffering the wrath of mome
PEMBROOK
Pembrook huddled high in the tree. Sweat trickled down his spine, beaded on his forehead. Yes, his forehead was beneath his spine. Was he safe from his pursuer? Time would tell. Or would it? Time couldn’t be trusted, Pembrook thought bitterly. His survival depended on his remaining perfectly silent. So naturally his throat tickled and his nose itched. He focused with savage agony his entire being on suppressing a sneezing cough fighting to explode from his rancid imperfect body. But what of Maurice and the dancing mice? Would Wanda get true value for her many stone hen sculptures? Pembrook was nearly torn asunder by the desire to know the answers to these and other questions. Were there enough figs for the high step competition? How many hats would the Donaldson twins wear? What was the importance of Hermione’s vat filled with beads? Pembrook huddled high in the tree.
A SENTENCE BY KEN KESEY
Seven o’ clock the mess hall opens and the order of line-up reverses: the Wheelers first, then the Walkers, then the Acutes pick up trays, corn flakes, bacon and eggs, toast – and this morning a canned peach on a piece of green, torn lettuce.
Yep, am rereading One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and like that piece of lettuce, green and torn.
