The Strongman

 The Strongman

  The strongman walks into the room to see many cheering fans. They are all excited to see him do a feat of strength. The strongman readies himself and starts. “Yarg!” he yells, sweat glistening on his forehead, biceps straining. After a good 15 minutes of lifting and twisting, he finally gives up. Moral of the story: no one can open a pickle jar.

    Gingerly we walk, 

    This area is dangerous

    We just don’t know this

    Men, staggering, swaying and unsteady

    Scared, I’m scared

    Gotta get out
  • A Cats Dream

    I’m jumping through the streets like a spring! All the other cats in the window look at me as a god. I slink around the fish stand like a mouse and jump up and take a fish. Yum! So good. Suddenly I’m in a jungle!
