Train of Thought

Did you hear about that guy

who was murdered by like five Canadian geese?

If he was thinking that swan would save him,

he was sorely mistaken.

Honestly, I thought he had it coming,

but I digress…

my car’s been making these strange noises lately,

kind of like an exhausted shudder

or sometimes a low, menacing growl.

I might need to replace my rear struts,

but it could also be possessed by the devil,

which reminds me…

some woman was eating sushi

that was poorly prepared or had gone off

and her tongue and cheeks gave birth

to fifteen baby squids.

It was an unpleasant surprise for her,

but she’s making the best of it.

She’s named them and is decorating their tank.

But what I was saying?

I got to the ending of that poem,

and it was really unsatisfying.
