Poem Number 18617

rapidly shrinking wallet of spendy ep. 2

Officer O'Mally was holding Spendy close to one of his man-tits, but this proximity did not seem to sate the crying infant.

The mother looked bitterly at him from the back of the squad car. "The baby needs me," she said.

O'Mally didn't look back. "Ma'am, you charged with manslaughter at least - homicide at worst. What makes you think I'm going to give you the baby?"

Spendy crawled up O'Mally's shirt, and the aging officer supported him. The baby hung his face on the shoulder, and looked sadly back at his mother. The scene was like this, from then on to the end of the ride to the police station - a special bond between Spendy and his convict mother.

None of it to last, however. At the station, as his mother was being processed, many of the women officers paid attention to Spendy. He thrived in this kind of environment. His cuteness was made for it.

When they finally dragged his mother off to jail, Spendy didn't even notice, because he knew that Officer Del Tomate-Maduro was going to take good care of him. She kept showing him off to other officers, who Spendy secretly suspected of being impotent.

"Ha ha ha" laughed Spendy. "I am what you can never give birth to, Hemmingway!"

these last several pieces you've writtten here, taken all together are so sad.
i think about Hemmingway a lot and his kind. and genetic engineering. like if potential parents could be given the choice to engender someone like Hemmingway - someone who would have great personal achievements in the midst of personal anguish - would any parent go there? no one would choose that kind of sadness for their kid. we'd have a world full of bean counters and doctors and lawyers. no artists. and that would be a tragedy.
anyway, I digress. your writing is fascinating. - N
-------
Please. The man took to maiming bulls because he could not reproduce.

There are many people who outclass Hemmingway, yet are also capable of producing issue. So, indeed, why would any of these Gattaca parents you consider even choose him?

/wc


-------
they wouldn't, that's my point. and his contributions to the world would have been lost.
i didn't know about the maiming bulls thing. what did he do exactly? i'm curious. I knew he elected to have shock treatment to try to relieve depression.
but anyway it's beside the point - people aren't perfect. and shouldn't have to be. - N
-------
"The man took to maiming bulls because he could not reproduce." - what are you talking about? - N

-------
He was in novieros (small time bullfights). It is in some circles considered that he was impelled to such activity due to his impotence.
Also, I'm sorry about spelling his name wrongly, with two 'm's instead of one. Oh well, there goes my claim to knowing the greats :)

-------
I wish amber would have been alive in his times. She could have told him to 'grow up'.

Plus that would eliminate her from my time space. /wc
-------
i knew he was interested in bullfighting. i didn't know he was impotent. I don't see how the two things correlate.
about the spelling - you know I am a stickler for that stuff, so don't let it happen again. - N
-------
there there poor baby....:) - N
-------
You figure out how it correlates, and I'll try not to let it happen again. /wc
-------
i try to embrace my excentricities, telling myself that i just better make good and damn sure i accomplish some big something. cause until you "harness the cosmic rays", you're just a nutjob lining up pigeons on your window seal (tesla). - N
-------
sill - N hahahaha
-------
...eccentricities...? and problems with spelling...- N

ductionawy.com is yourrerrerererere-rerererereurerrer (shit i revealed myself) your friend.

there are even plugins for firefox. in fact, if you use the firefox browser (available at www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ ) instead of that shitty browser provided by microsoft, or steve job's sad 'Safari', the damn thing will actually underline words in textareas you type into in red, to alert you to any horrible spelling. there is really no more excuse.

(hemingway, sadly is not in the dictionary, as names usually would not be).

/wc
-------
also, did you know that that deaf guy edison believed in ghosts? /wc
-------
thanks for the spelling tip, amber,...uh...i mean /wc. - N
-------
about the ghosts - no I didn't. - N
-------
yeah - let's keep telling ourselves this stuff...i'm okay, you're okay...we are messed up in the head, but we are in good company. hahaha (seriously) - N
-------
the alert will warn us if anything horrible happens. they are, after all, switching the bulb to ... amber. :!) /wc
-------
hahaha - N
-------
aw sucks.. i've even got my own warning system. this will be the best birthday ever.
