lost in an endless maze
what i really need is a lathe
to fashion a baseball bat
and club that damn guy with the hat
that told me about the guard
who always tells the truth
and cooks with lots of lard
up on the roof
with the other one
who stabs people who ask tricky questions
for the sake of his mum
and her lard-fed double chins
(inspired by Randall Munroe’s xkcd strip at http://xkcd.com/246/ )
I was excited to write a sequel to my series, so this would be my 251st ficlet, but whatever.
And, as traditionally traditio…
A sequel to 251st Challenge - The Forced Rhyming!
The University of Maryland
I am a philosopher, scientist, writer, poet, and artist.
I am not a brain surgeon, rock star, comic book hero, test pilot, or theoretical physicist, despite all rumors to the contrary.
My characters are not me, though I am occasionally my characters.
I’m usually against directly sequeling one’s own ficlets. If you want me to continue something, write a sequel. Even if I don’t continue from it, the exploration always helps.
I’ll try to provide constructive criticism, in the hopes that someone will return the favor.
(So, if you don’t comment, at least rate!)
Catch me on AIM as “theonlypoe”.
