Caution Toodles

The willed calvary has a rough outer shell as they wait for their taxi
Playing games of checkers and wrong hopscotch in the 80's
Wearing thick jeans and coconuts
And why care? no bother to scuffle by and say "toodles!"  - cause we'll see you again soon
Never wondering where, but why
Pictures....and pictures...and pictures.

There are big pictures: hope, the world, willpower, Mother Nature, time, youth, harmony, shelter, fantasy, humanity, circumstance, water, violence, disease, virtue, mathematics

There are medium pictures: multivitamins, direct flights, apostrophes, hang gliding, Dick Clark, waterfalls, alfredo, Toledo, OH, grapevines, Alice in Wonderland, eskimo pie, glow sticks, inside jokes

There are small pictures: when the electric company misspelled your last name on your bill and the change makes it sound really dirty, Swiss cheese from the deli counter that has wayyy too many holes in it, like more than normal, and you feel jipped, staring so long at a cloud that your eyes begin to itch and water and you don't do anything about it because it's a perfect moment that shouldn't be disturbed, accidently, but sort of purposely wearing slippers to the grocery store, feeding pigeons downtown and seagulls at the beach directly in front on the sign that says to not feed them, the guy who seems pretentious, but really isn't, when he lights his cigarette with a magnifying glass, trying to keep a laugh under your breath when you're talking to someone on the phone and they pronounce a word really wrong, in an accidental fake-British accent, but you can't hold it back

>>> KNOCK KNOCK
>>> WHO'S THERE?
>>> A SLEW OF GIRL SCOUTS SELLING COOKIES. I THINK I'M GONNA BUY SOME THIN MINTS AND A BOX OF WHATEVER THE PEANUT BUTTER ONES ARE CALLED
>>> OH COOL, YEAH, DEFINITELY. I'LL GO RUN AND GRAB YOU SOME MONEY.

Blue Dolphin Extension

When a flipping bird stings me
And the crescent horn blows to the dead-ended outlet
It's a muddy kind of toss-up, as the bulldozers have always had a way of never knowing
Even though neither do we

It's a good unknowledge on the beach
I don't mind waving and staring at the smiling, rubber dolphin
I could catch him at any time

And with that glow we are a salted shore
And stare at a willow tree, in a ray of beaming glow, as it waits for us with a penciled crossword

Now granted, there could be delays, hardships, and malfunctions, however, get ready for use smiley emoticon...
Q ~ How many gamblers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

A ~ One, but he used the bulb from the ceiling fan that was about to burn out and now that one's empty.

Freezer Soup for All

For all of the too-much-wine horses and blue-bellied tiger lillies
For all of the dirt canopy dresses and saw-cut marble banisters
For all of the greasy salads and hunched queens
For all of the shaky, cranky lovers and bitter buttercups
For all of the twisted telephone wires and uninhibited car alarms

For all
It's good the way you live
It's good the way you are
The shelf life of an egg carton, or the lime crate, or the wafer shelves. I forget about these things...

What some may or may not realize is that although texting while driving can be very dangerous, texting while on the toilet requires equal caution.
I don't know what the next frontier is. I figure one new frontier would be to something virtual. Maybe where you strap on goggles that have all sorts of viewing channels. Some would be round-the-clock Jeopardy repeats, literature that pops up instantly on the screens such as picture books on birds and Woman's Day magazine backprints, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, live webcam footage of about a dozen waterfalls scattered throughout the Pacific Northwest, live webcam footage of about a dozen covered bridges scattered throughout the rural Midwest, an option to see out of the goggles in case you want to wear them while driving, the spiraly, sporadic, rainbow patterns that music players create on the computer, googly eyes that appear on both the inside and outside, real time film of what you look like while wearing them (which is really confusing while you're trying to walk around. Then again, most of these are...), a birthday cake with the number of candles of your choice which you can then blow out, bootleg footage of pizza dough spinning competitions, recurrent nightmares that you hate having but are tempted to see again anyway, and 80's Pay-Per-View.
Or something along those lines. So much has been done before.
