Rigid through to his lungs, Amos was cross,
cussed every breath since his dentures skipped town.
Having never spotted an albatross
I’d never assumed they were such scoundrels.
She’d been the sveltest skeleton around
until Sandy’s slick tibia appeared.
This year, the Feathery Feast served flounder,
salmonella wrapped in a thin skin, seared.
Tony Robbins’ notoriety helped little
when he wished to start a fried chicken chain.
Lifelong, John wrestled with the riddle:
what if Terminator came from his brain?
After looking everywhere, he was sure
the boogeyman was hiding in the mirror.
