Poem
Once upon a mountaintop a she-monster named Mazy was searching for a man. She wanted a young, honest alien man. Not a nutty old tooth-jagged Monster like Bill or Dan. We were horrified. Inner-galaxy dating was ridiculous. It did not work, and was crazy. Bill and Dan had already trained lots of wives, and if anyone needed wife-training, it was Mazy. She was an odd duck, always reading a book, studying biographies, and learning crazy new things. No Monster Man wants a smart wife; they all want an un-learned one Who will let them be overbearing kings. They want to be able to order them up and down, here and there, Women who are non-subversively. They want women who will submit to their will, Think they are smart, and revere them unmercifully. Mazy had been terribly spoiled. She had been allowed to paint, and laugh, and sing, or hug a tree. Worst of all, she was reading Encyclopedias, was working on her Teacher Training PhD. All she should be taught to do is clean the cave out for her husband and bring his dinner on time, This other junk, she would never use was an absolute total waste of energy sublime. Mazy at 23 was not getting any younger -way too happy and pretty for her own “good”. “She is certifiable,” the jealous ones said. “She will die a horrible death, alone, as a spinster should. She was holding out for an alien man she had danced with on Venus in many of her terrific dreams. He came down in his spaceship on a Thursday, and Whisked Mazy away to where her visions had always dream-seen. Leaving earth planet, some of us heard Alien Zeke tell her, “You may learn as much as you want now.” What insane sorcery is this? That is crazy talk, right? We petitioned her to come back and bow. We wanted her to choose Monster Bill or Dan and stop learning a new language every single week. But for some odd reason, she stayed away, in the arms of her progressive alien man named Zeke.
