Silly, good things

[the_elyan]

i) a slightly silly (but very pleasing) poem:



I ask them to take a poem
and hold it up to the light
like a color slide

or press an ear against its hive.

I say drop a mouse into a poem
and watch him probe his way out,

or walk inside the poem's room
and feel the walls for a light switch.

I want them to waterski
across the surface of a poem
waving at the author's name on the shore.

But all they want to do
is tie the poem to a chair with rope
and torture a confession out of it.

They begin beating it with a hose
to find out what it really means.


I like that very much. Found via writersalmanac


ii) a very silly video:

Errr ... MORE Fun With Sheep?


iii) and finally, an ... um ... well ...

Margin of Error is back, with Watchmen bits. Courtesy, if that's the word I'm looking for, of timlewis
