Sneeze Shield at the Dust Buffet

Mission Oak Frame

by Evelyn

Retarded halibut framed in mission oak

Forge! Ascerbic, gangly herder

The recumbent chair creeps closer to

the mutt shears…

Oh Gangly God

by Stephanie

Recumbent out back on the lawn,

we forged a new gentle philosophy.

An acerbic appearance of a Messiah

scared the halibut shitless

and sent them shivering back into blackness.

The retarded army sputtered and sank.

Little gangly guys

race around the yard

and forge their retarded names in the dirt.

“Halibut, halibut, more halibut”

was the acerbic word.

And you never even told me

what you think “recumbent” means.

the retarded halibut slid upstream

environmental protections kept them safe like

an iron-forged security blanket

recumbent, quiet sliding like a moonbeam

gangly field-trip teens staring from across the dike

his slow, acerbic musings cooled downstream, spread like a sheet

Flope

by Adam

push on my sternum acerbic

recumbent recoup my potential

floating retarded indentured

forge a gangly recurring dissention

until respite we march

or laze on the porch

have halibut every 3rd sunday

by Carla

I have something stuck in my throat

and while I am choking and coughing

focusing on the struggle things slip by

behind the lump so big even the retarded

gangly things can slip by behind in

where the gangles forge their own path

aw crap I am tired of writing small

and neat so other people on their

recumbent bouncy balls with halibut

mitts for fleshily fondling acerbic balls

Blind Date

by Matthew

Are you retarded?

The halibut is on sale.

Do you think the Vulcan remained recumbent

when working at his mighty forge?

If you think you can make up

for your gangly face with acerbic wit…

you might be right,

put another log on and let’s see what happens…

Acerbic Alaska

by Adam #2

Gangly weatherbeaten men forging through the winter,

the halibut were sparse that season.

The humor sparser.

The retarded first mate kept cracking the same joke.

Black clouds gathered ominously.

Even the fish were sad.

Recumbent

by Alexis

Identify a pattern

guess whose turn:

To forge for a halibut

only to find a mutt

retarded, gangly, putt. putt. putt.

into a pitt

an acerbic wit
