from the top
of the universe,
using an
ultra-sensitive,
proton-powered,
high-intensity,
super-stellar
megaphone,
to announce
to the farthest galaxies
the permanent
induction of
Ray Bradbury
into the
Interplanetary
Hall of

DEAR DESTINY
-Keep it light,
will you please?
-No Godzilla
in my garden
chewing my begonias…
-You must spend
an interesting eternity,
deciding who goes when…
-So what got you
into the fate business?

-Hello…
my name is Mickey Mouse –
perhaps you heard of me…
-What I’m about to reveal
pains me very much,
as it will cause pain to you,
no doubt… because, well, you see…
Mr. Disney was a mouse molester!
-I know, I know! Incredible, but true!
I’ve got it on tape…
listen to this excerpt:
“…you, and me (panting sound)…
and Minnie… you know what I mean?
a threesome…”
-I’m as shocked as you are,
but the truth must be told…
especially now that Larry Flynt
is going to buy Disneyland!

Read Poem/CommentJOB INTERVIEW
-Are you at present
a god?
-If “no,”
have you ever considered
being a god?
-If “no” again,
how about a devil?
-“I’m not into tails”
is not an answer!
-“Hell, no!” –
that’s better…
-There’s an opening
for god of Circumstances…
no experience needed –
would you be interested?
-Good!
By order of the authority
vested on me,
I now declare you to be
a god of Circumstances…
-Now go be circumspect!
