Christmas cards
Photos we look bad
in. Braggy newsletter. That’s
how we keep in touch.
Unemployed Christmas
Can days be merry
and bright? Jobs – like ornaments –
fragile, out of reach.
Harrison Ford
He doesn’t have to

Prom limo
such a sweet ride they
didn’t want to leave so they
did Wendy’s drive-thru
Prom group
She can’t stand her. He’s
her ex, so don’t include them.
Can’t we go alone?
10,000th hit
Who will you be, and
from where? What will have brought you

Popemobile

Laptop
An adult blankie.
To take one from its owner
will make grown men cry.
