An Interesting Thing

by Bill Schott

 
An interesting thing happened today --
 
but, before I tell you, listen to this 
 
cute recording of a kitten
 
digging its way through a bowl of jello.
 
Each cat pat at the gelatin 
 
flumps away 
 
getting the feline nowhere, nor 
 
helping the progress of this otherwise
 
interesting revelation of the other
 
juicy story I meant to begin before this whole
 
kit and coboodle 
 
leaked out and stalled that 
 
mostly funny yet
 
nearly tear-jerky
 
operation. 
 
Perhaps I should start again and 
 
quit trying to include all 
 
random or related 
 
subjects into 
 
this 
 
unquestionably
 
vibrant tale of  the 
 
weaponazation of 
 
xenarthra across the world.
 
"Yo! Dat an anteater?"
 
Zzzzzzaaaaapppp!!
