Status Update

I rose crestfallen from a

dream in which a preferred cast

of characters from my past

(plus me) were leaving for the

epicest concert of all time.

But I hadn’t showered and was

still in day clothes unsuitable for

the best night of our lives.

So away I flew to the bath but

it was being used by a Gila monster.

And what do you do with that?

Exactly – you wait until he’s finished

by which time my fantasy league

had already left for the show.

But not without leaving a note:

Dear John, we waited but dude

you took too long. Really sorry.

By the way, its possible there’s a

Gila monster somewhere in your

head. Its not real, cowboy.
