If You're Lonely ...
... Who's to Blame?
by Tom Horonzy
Being lonely ain't so bad
unless alone on a tropical isle where sparrow-sized skeeters fill the air and Komodo dragons roam the shores while sharks cruise the waterfront, all ferociously hungry. Escape is unimaginable. It rains every ill-starred night. Hunger besets you as eating coconuts and grubs become ho-hum. Depression arrives; you loudly cry. Why? There's no one to hear you and who's to blame for pirating the S.S. Minnow, without a skipper, professor, a Mary Ann, or Ginger? |
