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

 

 

You should see the size of his water bottle.
--On the plus side, Howard's speed
was picking up so he was actually
getting nowhere faster.

Refusing to go low-carb,
Brian found another solution.

The laces are 10 yards long.
--With his size 22 feet, Roger assumed
he was certain to win the Super-Toes Day election.

--Recently hired, Del was dismayed to learn

was more than just an expression.

"Vroom. Vroom. Vroooooooommmmm."
--Born on February 29, 1964,
Mr. Dempsey now considered himself
ten years old.

--Arthur loved to spoil his inner child.
