 Isaac DePlane
 Isaac DePlane took off his brain
 as it had grown heavy
 and his neck was tired.

 when the...  (12/9/02)
 
 Through the Colon of a Whale
 A Gonit on a sled
 races home to his bed
 through the colon of a whale
 sleeping on a bed of shale
 snoring gently, without fail.

 where blue snails hid
 by toreadors who long debated

 everyone thought her and Indian...  (11/11/02)
 
 GET UP!
 "GET UP!" 
 screamed the miter
 (a miniature mote) 
 who'd grown up in the bottom

 but his body was tan.
 
 "HUZZAH!" 
 he repeated, at the top...  (10/28/02)
 
 Mouse in My House
 The mouse in my house
 has the run of the land. 
 He pees in my porridge
 and he shits in my hand
 while I lie sleeping,

 that the mouse in my house
 is nibbling on my hair. 
 And eating my breadcrumbs! 
 And drinking my pop! 
 I...  (10/14/02)

 A Little Bit Hungry
 A midget ate a pigeon 
 and the pigeon ate a pig. 
 If that seems odd remember 
 that the pig was not that big. 
 He was a bite-sized nugget, 
 a toy pig as they say, 
 one that would fit on a keychain 
 should your inkling lean that way.
 
 The pig...  (9/16/02)
 
 Scrumpletydumples
 "Flippetyripples dapplety-giblets!"

 Toudle-Lou & Toudle-Lee
 Toudle-Lou and Toudle-Lee sat in a tree and ate cranberries. That's the way they'd wile away a Thursday in the land of Margoline. Some are fonder of a wander through the woods, while peeling strands of string cheese. But not the Toudles, for them...  (5/13/02)

 Once upon a time
 Or so goes the line
 I heard tell a notion
 Of a gold magic potion
 Its power mysterious, 
 A bouquet quite delirious
 It filled all who drink
 With the charm of a king
 The strength of ten oxen
 For lifting or boxing,
 The smell...  (2/18/02)
 
 The Man in the Baloney Suit
 There once was a man 
 in a baloney suit,
 Who danced on the

 He'd spring and he'd spritz all...  (1/21/02)
