Submissions

  • Break Up

    The love people have for each other is real. But what do you do when you are broken? Torn to pieces? Consult in Steve 'The Hair' Harrington. He'll tell you to grow some nice hair that stands up 5 feet and adopt 4 middle school children.

  • The Rebuke of the Chicken

    I saw a chicken crossing the street

    And said to myself

    “That’s rather neat!”

    So I asked him, why are you crossing here?

    And he glared at me with a stare so real

    Then he answered me appearing quite cross.

  • School

    School’s great. I *love* waking up early  
    to sit through hours of stuff I’ll forget.  
    Lunch? A gourmet mystery I’ll never solve.  
    Tests? Oh, the thrill of failing with style.
