The Happy Poem.

When I have classes like women's studies, They make me write dumb stuff. 
So I humour the teacher, who, by the way, 
Has the IQ of marshmallow fluff. 
But sometimes he makes us watch internet porn
(Which is bookmarked on his personal page)
He showed us this crap at  8:00 AM 
I'd like to lock him in a cage. 
When I go to this stupid class 
I start to fret and fret.
It makes me quite upset. 
You bet.
I gnash my teeth and pull out my hairs. 
Then I scream at the wall and 
Then the police put out flares. 

The End.
 


Jesus in a Towtruck
by Jason Renn

sunlight glancing through dusty glass,
the harsh glare making me wince.
slow realization...seeping in by osmosis.
that my modern convenience,
horseless contrivance,
is dead.
trudging through the tall grass,
dead of night, dew seeping in,
through the suede of my shoes.
Where is the light at the end of my tunnel?
slowly growing, barely showing,
beckoning with some rosy glow.
tap seven digits, drop two coins.
await my savior with his hydraulic 
salvation.
take me home and make me whole.


Family
By Sean McBride

Hey, let's have sex.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's forget all our pills 
And our condoms.
I'll give you all my diseases
And you give me yours
And we'll be a happy family.
Of three, that is.

Let's get you pregnant.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's get drunk and high,
Hey, hey, hey.
Fetal alcohol syndrome
And babies with no brains
Sounds like a good idea to me.

I'm kidding, by the way.
 



The Adverb Poem
By Alice Teeple

Cookies are a treat
When eaten really quickly. 
But please don't eat too many 
Or they will make you sickly. 
When I drink coffee,
It makes me very jittery. 

But if I do not add extra sugar, 
The coffee will taste bitterly.
I picked you this dandelion
Because I love you madly. 
But it is not my fault that it is covered in bugs,
So do not feel too badly. 



 

Love
By Sean McBride

Love?
I was in love once.
I had a puppy and it was cute and cuddly
And it would fetch sticks
And play ball and lick my face
And chew my shoes.

Then I ate him.
Now I feel full.
Full of love, that is.

I wonder where my shoes are.



 
 
 
Ode to Mata Hari
by Bernard Kelly and Alice Teeple

I do not love thee, Mata Hari.

With your purple sequinned sari.

Wallowing in calamari.

When I see thee, I run far-y.

I do not love thee, Mata Hari.

Ode to an 
Ode to Mata Hari
by Robert E. Yuncken

 
 

I love thee neither, Mata Hari,

unless you're on a surfin'-safari:

 ...Surfin' the beaches of the Kalahari,

    Cruisin' the streets in your crimson Ferrari,

    Then at night, gettin' stoned and guitar-ry

    under the sky so wide and starry

    Ah, then I'd love thee, Mata Hari...


 
 
 


Biography:

Alice Teeple likes blueberry muffins, The A-Team,
and the Etch-A-Sketches at the Corner Room.
Her only vice is a sorry addiction to yuppie coffee drinks,
which she is trying to overcome by means of
another addiction to vast amounts of generic Ny-Quil.
