Oedipus Giggled
sometimes I get overzealous- bouncing a diapered kangaroo on my knee
- the bird in the paper bag
- Oedipus giggled all the way home
- make an asparagus omelet
- sleep-taught toilet training
- me and my herniated module
Oedipus giggled all the way home from his therapy session, smitten by the idea that all of his troubles were the result of sleep-taught toilet training.
The bird in the paper bag said, “Sometimes I get overzealous,” and it was true. The bag had nearly filled up with eggs by the time Oedipus reached his house. He planned to make an asparagus omelet, but thought it prudent not to inform the bird.
When he opened the door, his jaw and the bag of eggs both hit the floor. There I sat, bouncing a diapered kangaroo on my knee.
“Should you be doing that?” Oedipus asked.
He always worries about me and my herniated module.
So be sweet and kind to Mother, now and then have a chat.
Buy her candy or some flowers or a brand new hat.
But maybe you had better let it go at that.
