BORED  ON  SATURDAY

Took a taxi to the city limits
then walked back here

The Best ‘Guest’ Ugly Table ever

I will admit, I ‘trumpet’ on customers quite a bit . . .

Misc Sh’t

A poem I shat out a little bit ago:

‘Sloppy’

That’s me.

Missing a belt loop, toot-fruit, one-armed, nicknack handler.

Classic car, from afar, hot dog stand, without a plan.

Hot tea on a Saturday night? Dumb. Why not chew your nails while watching reruns of ‘Friends’?

Who invented fun?

I fucking did.

Deal.

Why does Charles Bukowski continue to show up?

The Ugly Table #75

Passive Postcard

First you pull the PC out of your purse (promoting your new business) and lay it next to you on the table.

When I come back, I notice it is laying in the middle of the table.

When I come back a 3rd time, it is laying at the end in the corner (I still have said nothing about the PC, and neither has Ms. Passive).

I come back to give you your bill and the PC is now propped up against the salt & pepper shakers. You still say nothing about the PC or the business you are opening just a few doors down from our restaurant.

When I return you give me your credit card with your business name prominently on the card.

After you leave, still not saying anything about your business, the PC is in the check book with your CC slip and a $4 tip (dinner for two).

Way to promote your business! Good Luck!

Ugly Table #75

Poetry Club w/ Charles Luden

Dead  Man  Loop

A heavy breath
Dark room
Window dirty
A broken TV
Dry flower pot
Dog skeleton in a frame
Man with a razor blade and a beer
Woman clutching a book and a Ruger
An open telephone
Deep trouble

Ugly Table #74

F’k off Democrats

Me: I think I know your dad, great guy.

Customer 1: Thanks

Customer 2 (across the table from customer one): It’s too bad he is a Democrat (in a snotty voice)

Me: What’s wrong with that? (Then I walked away.)

Customer 2 (under her breath): F’ck Off.

I  Married  A  Drug  Mule

That was years ago

and the tension did not end

at bedtime

nor did the fun ever begin

Morning coffee did not help

Nothing did

She left in a Buick someone else stole

How can you say we are not related?

Ugly Table #73

The Round Up Tip

The round up tip is usually not good, but this guy must only figure out his checkbook in increments of $50.

MESSIER  10

The globular cluster is descending
Watch out if you can
The universe is more than
we can control
so let’s enjoy the colors
it brings and hope we are
gone before it ends
but if everlasting life is
a guarantee
then who cares
Let’s dance all night
with those that love freedom
