Premium Member You Never Know Till You Get To Know
One dark night a saucer crashed;
the military quickly cleaned up the trash.
In the distance, what they didn’t see;
a thin, white face between the trees.

Once all was quiet, little Gili-ok crept,
from the woods where he had...

...Two plus two equals four...

I've often wondered,

...four plus four equals eight...

as I look back on my life,

...eight plus eight equals..., and so on,

if the sum of my experiences
is the essence of who I am.

Remembering Tv of the 1950s
Remembering TV of the 1950s

From when I was twelve years old
Because it was along about then
When TV fascination did begin

The programming choices were few
The channels we received...

Paid In Full
If your automobile insurance was all paid up to date
And you suffered a loss, just what would you say?
Would you say, “Mr. Repairman, I will pay the bill”
I don’t believe Allstate will do what they...

Curse that piece of metal junk,

My First Tv
Before they used computer chips

and printed circuits too,

TVs worked with different parts

like capacitors and tubes.


Our neighbor was a repairman

and he was quite adept,

he'd given me an old TV

to satisfy a debt.


I wrestled it to the...

Revenge of the Office Copy Machine
Revenge of the Office Copier

By Elton Camp

I started to make copies of an important report.
Just as I commenced, it sent a printed retort.
“Though I don’t contain a single strand of DNA,
I deserve respect and have...

memories run deep and were buried there

Premium Member A Funny Thing Happened On the Way To the Job Interview
I hurried to a nearby town
to give an interview.
I knew this perfect job would help
me start my life anew.

I took the elevator and
pushed button number eight.
The car lurched; then it wouldn’t budge.
I cried, “Oh, I’ll...

Dangling Participles
Every time something breaks
like the pipe in the wall
we heard gushing

this morning
my wife wants to call
a repairman because 

I can’t fix anything
except split infinitives
and dangling participles

and I usually agree 
but this time 
I mention the...

Streetlight
Walk about the night
