those of you
that have been reading me
for a while
will remember my
Zippy the Clown
story
those of you
that haven’t read it
go here
go ahead
I’ll wait….
tap tap tap tap!
so
today
there’s a new version
of Zippy
while I was
sitting in the dark
on the couch
watching tv
and eating dinner
it eventually occurs to me
that the wee dog
is chewing on something
that she shouldn’t be
I flip on the light
and discover
she’s got a tube
of lipstick
and somewhat
like me
she’s got it
all over her face
all over her feet
on the couch
on the aphgan
and
on the floor
perfect!
