How-to When Not Why


…be polite, say hello or nod 
or offer to bare shoes.
Flash your license or your
membership dues, and al-
ways pass on the right or 
left of the person you choose, 
never either through them or away 
from them.  This is considered 
rude and non-grammatically 
sparkling behaviour.  Bow deeply 
from your loins, and root 
the also-rans, as they are 
your cohorts, your sly taboos, 
your loved ones.  Always tie your 
shoes from top to bottom, 
not forgetting the in-between.  
Discuss osage fruit at least once 
a week:  please see horseapples 
or bodark seeds for cross-
reference essayed design.

This line is here to express
a sympathy you cannot know
that this line is here to ex-
press.  

Hi, and let me bring you 
up to speed.  First off, 
yes! you are still our favorite 
non-attendee, but no! you are 
advised to guard well your pearl, 
and behold what your tragic
circles might tree for a squirrel 
mistaken for meat.  The hound
dogs of grammer are confused 
when on the hunt.  Don’t forget
to rinse your plate, and give a nod 
to Gabriel, now exiting Mary
at route 61, sated and satisfied 
with a god’s job dutifully done.
He’s a card-carrying member 
of the crowd, and you, entitled 
to two cheers and a big Hoo-rah! 
but no vote  of confidence 
and no say in which door is to 
be labeled exit.  We’ve taken out 
the guesswork but before we continue:  
take a break.  Study forestry for 
a moment, or jump a fireline.

These instructions will self-destruct 
unless you eat them quick.

We know exactly how you feel.
