One day in a great grey wood, I frolicked, and because of my frolicking I became hungry. Alas! nothing to eat but a few scattered remnants of lint in my pocket ... therefore i surveyed the immediate area and what should catch my eye? but a tiny fairy ring of porcinis. so i brought forth my saute pan and commenced to make a fire. (at this point, you, the reader, are probably wondering why i would have a saute pan, but no food... i was probably lost for a few days at this point, so that's why i didn't have any food) i cooked these lovely little pigs over a blaze oh, the heat! i sweat, and then i reaped my reward. sometimes i wonder why i consider diarrhea a reward. the endJim Cortina 2-7-2001
as the rain pours down my window
i
think of beth,
sleeping,
snoring,
picking wedgies in her sleep.
all the while
not knowing i am watching
her...
(oh, how i love wireless video equipment!)
then the rain stops...
and starts again...
wait
just a god
damned
minute!
that doesn't smell like rain...
there is not a cloud in the sky...
i think
of the kids
in the apartment above me
in an hour they will be sleeping,
snoring,
picking wedgies in their sleep...
and soon i will kill them
for peeing out their window
shitheads.

My headache hurts behind my left eye,
I wonder how it got there,
probably the headache fairy...
Doo doo Da Doo
This poem is like
a monkey...
not really
I
lied.
It's more like
a poem.
It has
words
and form
and
a
subtle type
of rythym.
It doesn't,
however,
rhyme.
I'd like to write you
another
trite love poem.
But that's not
my style.
Flashy shirts,
and crazy
hats-
that's
my style.
I'd like to write you
another
trite love poem,
but
I can't
fall in love
with
you. I'd like to
compare you with
a
rose, except
a rose would
probably
return
my calls.
What about the
night I
Kissed
you?
I'd like to cry for
my love lost,
but there wasn't
enough time
to grow attatched
to
it.September 16, 2000
Happy Birthday to you,
you kissed that other dude,
and expect me to still want you-
What the fuck's wrong with you?

I tell you what I'd do
if I were a llama
I'd spell my name with one "L" instead of two
then I'd be a lama
A Buddhist holy man
yes, then I'd be a lama
would you be my biggest fan?
