"Mrs. Stein," a poem by Bill Dodds. A Stephen Carpenter illustration.
Mrs. Stein asks,
"Interested
in a school visit?"

 

 

Pavarotti wannabe.
--Overcome with emotion on hearing
Ralph Nader's announcement,
Leon immediately begins practicing
his tree-hugging technique.

--"Hic. Hic. Hic. Hic. Hic..."

Whoosh!
--And for those stuck in windowless cubicles...

"There? Or there? There? Or there? There..."
--Melissa became anxious when Peter
failed to quickly return to the office
with her Krispy Kreme order.

--Edith took her role as Block Watch
captain very seriously.
