Mayrine Mayrine
such a wonderful scene
Not just another Queen
But a picture
from which I'd gleen
A happiness of
the here after
The eyes of an angel
but fairy of awe
No wings on her back
but beauty without flaw
I could only wish
while the world
would outlaw
My love so imaginative
the wonderful things
it saw
Mayrine Mayrine
Such a beautiful scene
at times you made me
feel like a King
The picture from which
I'd gleen
The happiness
I've never ever seen
The hostess asked to see their proof
That they’d received vaccines,
For New York law requires it
In their pre-seating screens.
The women, Texas tourists,
In a mean, entitled rage,
Thought that violent behavior
Was the best way to engage.
The three attacked the hostess,
In a frenzy, caught on tape,
And without some intervention,
She’d have not made her escape.
The police were called, arrests were made;
They’ll have to show in court,
But outrage was the one response
Each newscast did report.
To dine indoors, obey the rules;
For anyone who won’t,
The penalty should be so stiff
It might stop those who don’t.
Come into my house,
Sit anywhere you like.
No, not at my table,
No, not on my chair.
Come into my house,
Sit anywhere.
I invited you,
I opened up my home.
Oh, I changed my mind,
It is a vaulted tome.
Sit anywhere.
Come into my house,
You really are not welcome.
You are a phantom guest,
And a sadly, unwanted pest,
Yet still...
Sit anywhere.
It is a perfect place,
You should have been more proud,
Just to be invited,
And permitted, in the crowd.
Sit anywhere.
With rules and hidden spaces.
And a common thought out plan,
You do not fit, so do not sit,
“Sit anywhere”.

her eyeliner's tail pointing
towards the sky

Hostess Twinkies Come to an End
By Elton Camp
But they are such a wholesome treat
And Twinkies are just such fun to eat
They are like shortcake on the outside
The center a delicious mush does hide
About 2012 the Mayans may be right
And the end of the world is in sight
A life without Twinkies many will hate
How will we maintain our body weight
Why nutritionists can react with glee
Is simply more than I am able to see
Maybe a pile of chemicals they are
But to quit making ‘em goes too far
Even if embalming fluid they do contain
On the shelves I wish they would remain
Losing pensions the workers may not like
But now they’ve lost all by going on strike
Some great man should come to our aid
Governor Christie, to do it you are bade
Become a true American hero
Save the Twinkies--make it so
. The yellow cream filled twinkie
A frozen delight,
Try eating it nice and cold;
Tongue enveloping
Tonsil tackling
Throat filling
Cream!
