Haruki once thought it ideal
For life to be slightly unreal.
But he had to emerge
And respond to the urge
Of fixing one more simple meal.

(I counted 58 “simple meals” in 1Q84.)

Said Heidegger with a shrug
of Kafka’s change to a bug
I don’t really care
if being there
means crawling around on the rug

I once ate an unripe quince
So tart it made me wince
Hurled it at Ted Cruz
And left a significant bruise
I’ve been in prison ever since

As the polar ice caps recede
Even Sarah Palin will concede
fauna and flora
Invade the tundra
We should all try a tasty weed

The social democracy vision –
Transnational world coalition —
Would be a poor trend
If the ultimate end
Were the “No One Expects” Inquisition.

“How beautiful!” Dedalus cried,
A copious whiskey beside.
But as energy waned,
Indifference reigned,
And his gaze only served to deride.

The gardener said, “Things could get nasty:
That quince tree must have actirasty.
I’ve ingested fruit
Till the pain is acute;
My colon is ready for basti.”

The linguistics experts on Terra
Saw syntax evolve with the era.
But no one foresaw
The peculiar patois
Of Alaska’s ex-governor Sarah.

… I know, obvious target

There once was a lass with eyes of blue –
Word spread of her dazzling hue!
At times she was taken,
True love was forsaken,
Wiser now, she seeks a serious woo.

Are entries as plain text cool, or are we to submit small jpgs of sweethearts preprinted & arranged so? There are unlikely to be twats in this year’s US versions, but the win lie challenges, oui? Or am I merely dating myself by recalling this original rule?z(?)

A twat occupying Malheur
desired to make himself purr
so he shoved up a quince
which thrice made him wince
and ejaculate loudly “Oo-er!”

Points please! ;-)
