A Murder Most Foul






The golden whirring pheasant springs, And mounts exulting on triumphant wings. Short is his joy; snapping his razor sharp beak, which unfortunately for him are no match for my teeth.

Seasons Turn, Turned Stones Turn Crayfish





It was only in that second I had realized, that it was about another minute before I truly grasped how quickly, time had so precisely ticked so quickly, to bring these colder months ahead to me so swiftly.  Crayfish, you mini lake lobstering treat.  Desiring you, lifting stones with my nose, finding and tossing you up, exo-bones and devouring your delicious offerings slyly winking at that Summer eve moon's last beat.  28 crayfish thereafter, asleep a peachy fox on the beach.

En garde





It all began with Farmer Jenkins responding to last weeks Sunday classifieds for barbwire chicken coop fence leading to my responding to this weeks classifieds for a chicken part paying job.  Poultry doesn't grow on oaks.  Heard herd of old men whistling, approving and applauding my natural swording adeptness, setting them to set me up, protecting Geronimo's tomb weekends this Fall until they find a suitable homosapien replacement.

Sail off into Battle




Commander Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, Comte de Rochambeau, my fine noble French friend, let us sail victoriously into battle together.  So, where should we head first?  Just point... ??  Oh Rochambeau, forget this troubled world around us.  Take this little fox into your arms and kiss me hard, the way the gangster did to the girl in the diner in Michael Jackson "Beat It" music video.
