Along an egregious path
beset with noisy sociopathic notions,
came a man with the raspberry blue sugar sticky
of cotton-candy smeared about his face.
One hand groping his wants
the other loaded with Jelly Bellies—
practicing his holy belief of entitlement.

ReplyDeletei must be missing something because you wrote about jelly bellies and someone else wrote about jelly beans...i feel soooo left out.
ReplyDeletedone for
verification makes it really hard to comment. you'd get more comments if you turned it off. i had to do this several times to get it to work. this was like taking a eye exam. i' think i'm more astigmatic...

ReplyDeleteZongrik I'd love to know who elese was talking about Jelly Beans... Guess I'll have to reall all the other posts won't I ;)
Done for, sorry you had problems. I'd love to do this without comment moderation and did for years until I had to deal with spammes posting fake viagra links, gaming links, etc. It just spoiles it for everyone.
