A Warning!


I give you fair warning,
man, what you are about
to read is nothing like a
fine dining experience,

no candle light or tasty
filet mignon here, no fancy
waiter to pour the vintage
bougelet. This offering of

mine today holds not even a
morsel associated with the
excitement of a first date.
So, before disappointment

inundates the eye, before
disdain for these meaningless
lines settles into the awareness
of your brain, I feel it is my

duty as a fellow human being
to inform you, no, to implore
you, put this sheet down, or
should it be laid as a page in

a menu, close the damned thing
and walk away before its too late.
Without haste walk, no, run away
to some other place. And for god’s

sake, man, get a fresh start and
begin elsewhere all over again.
Or, simply take cover under a
table, put your head between

your knees and pray. I’ll let you
know when it’s safe to come out.
May I recommend the meatloaf
instead. It’s the special today.
