What's My Name Again?

by J.D. Nelson


"What's wrong, Dandy?"
asked the little bloo-bee.

"Uh et me some bad rabbit, lil' guy,"
he managed between greasy belches.

"I'm comin' down there
with a big bag of aspirin!"

I washed my shirt
in cold coffee
instead of water,

using sugar
instead of detergent.

I caught up
on some reading.

"I'm sorry to say that
I've flunked my fishing test,"
said Dandy Skull.

"Don't worry — you'll get it next time,"
said Good Ol' Gary.

He was lying.
