Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid
Shuffle, duffle, muzzle, muff.
Vista, wista, mista-cuff.
We are men of groans and howls,
Mystic men who eat boiled owls.
Tell us what you wish, oh King.
Our magic can do anything.

Small Gods (Discworld, vol.13)
After being abducted by aliens and left incoherent
in the woods across the street, the government
would quietly whisk me away into a secret hospital
where machine parts would be grafted, little by little,
onto my nonfunctioning body parts. Now bionic,

I would jot down hushed conversations
and stave off the threat of war from other nations.

The Picture of Dorian Gray
O my Luve is like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve is like the melody
That’s sweetly played in tune.
So fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry.

Is table talk in hell.
I name no name, but hell's own flame
Illumes the lobby garish,
A gilded snare just off Times Square
For the maidens of the parish.
“A Tale of the Thirteenth Floor”
