Perchance to Dream

Saggy and immortal
Is how I want to be,
Drooping like a curtain
For all eternity,

For if I could live forever
Then why be thin? Pray tell!
It worked for Jabba the Hutt
And he did pretty well
(Although he missed his calling
Playing in the NFL).

The First Family: An Earlobe Story

It started as an earlobe,
Lonely and aware
That it would be much more complete
If it could make a pair,

And so it looked and listened
And so grew its ears and eyes,
And it found a brain, a face, and hair
That to its side it did bind.

And soon the first lobe found a second
And a head the two became.
They thought they’d met their goals,
Yet they still felt kind of lame,

And so the head sought out a body,
And the body sought out limbs
And soon the lobes could walk around,
And searched the world for hims.

Sure enough they found him:
Another lobe-turned-body,
And the lobe pair fell in love
‘Cause the he-lobe was a hotty.

And the bodies mixed and matched
And made a smaller version
Of themselves, and out it pushed,
Desiring an excursion.

And so was born a child
And the lobe became a mother.
The first kid was a sister
And the second was a brother.

And that is how a family
In my mind has been portrayed.
I love you mom, but seriously,
How was I really made?
