“Contrary to what most people say, the most dangerous animal in the world is not the lion or the tiger or even the elephant. It's a shark riding on an elephant's back, just trampling and eating everything they see.”-Jack Handy


I've got a new design up on threadless. If you're a member of the site, I'd love to get your vote. If I were to be printed, I'd earn some cash...which would be great to help pay for that house I told you about in my last post. If you're not a member, you should become one...and then vote for me. (Then, buy some t-shirts, because they're all made by fantastic artists and you should own them...and wear them. People will envy your witty sense of style.)

Love Is In The Air

A post in verse, most unfortunate!

*Ahem*

Ah, sweet awakenings of love
Stung by Cupid up above
He aims his arrows ever true
In hopes of finding lovers two

With hearts aflame by passion found
A poem blooms, a sonnet sounds
What better way to show affection
Than by inspired writ reflection?

A Valentine of vintage year
Has encouraged my postings here
Their illustrations charm the eye
Their words are cunning, quick, and wry

So now, I offer you a few
Before I bid you all adieu
Enjoy with me if you will
These works from someone's clever quill...

What? You thought the verse would end?
You are mistaken my dear friend!
What better way to talk of those
Than by a few short lines of prose

If only love by fortune's wheel
Would send someone my heart to steal
Of course that might seem rather trite...
And I've no need of Vanna White


However, this is rather droll
Though it seems that love has quite a toll
I think my love would find its slake
If I thought I might end up as steak


What better way to hedge love's bet
Than by a rather unveiled threat?
I think I'd be a bit offended
to find my love so open ended

You'll be replaced right quick it seems
As your love's already planning schemes
There's "others still in sight" you know
With that for friend, who needs foe?


Now this dear sketch would draw less scorn
It's such a darling ear of corn
With words so sweet and kernels too
I would quite quickly say I do!

I'd love a Valentine of old
To read the simple verses bold
And laugh at drawings, chaste and sweet
...Even ones that joke of meat.

"Say again? You're Breaking Up!"

"For the past couple of years, our relationship has been one sided. I talk and talk but in the middle of a conversation, I'm dropped. I can't ever seem to press the right buttons and no matter what I do, I end up getting cut off. Well, I'm tired of it. Don't get me wrong, we had our good times. I don't deny it...texting late at night, talking from dusk till dawn...but things...well, things just changed..."

"I'm leaving you."

"Please, don't argue...it'll be a lot easier if we both just let this go...besides...there's...there's someone else."

"You know how unhappy I've been. Maybe it is selfish of me, but I want something more...and I think I've found that. This new relationship is all about communication...there's always a response to my touch, and I know I'm being heard when I talk. Everything seems so bright and clear now. "

"I won't lie to you...yes, it is partially about your age and the way you look...you've let yourself go. You're not as bright as you used to be and everything about you seems so...small. I don't mean to be harsh really..."

"Please, stop being so dramatic...we both knew this couldn't last forever..."

"You'll find someone else...I'm sure of it. You just have too many hang ups for me...it's time to say...goodbye."
