Job search

Panera’s didn’t
call, nor Applebee’s. Rejec-
tion’s hard at sixteen.

Prom limo

such a sweet ride they
didn’t want to leave so they
did Wendy’s drive-thru

Hard Rock Cafe, Niagara Falls

All around it, the
town is dead. Pity the poor
taken investors.

If gum were chocolate

Like cows with their cud
we would chew constantly, and
then we’d all swallow.

If chocolate were gum

One piece would last for

(I’m working on it.)

What a bargain

Shopped a membership
warehouse store today. Got six
years’ worth of ketchup.

Salt Lick barbecue

Vegans, stay away,
lest your firm resolve melt from
tender smoked brisket.

Dining in Austin

I eat meat because
it’s Texas. Tender steak like
beef cotton candy.

Earl Grey

Bergamot infused
leaves unfurl comfort. Problems
dissipate like steam.

WV Oscar night tradition

They walk the carpet.
We eat takeout Chinese and
scream for our favorites.
