The Jeep That Kept Rising From the Dead
Lazarus had nothing on this battered motor vehicle. A red Jeep with a broken headlight a dent in the driver’s side door a transmission that sucks down fluid and leaks it out at the same time. It guzzles gasoline like an alcoholic during Happy Hour. This Jeep has a muffler with a hole and it wakes up the neighbors (when it actually runs). It’s a sorry excuse for a car and it hasn’t passed inspection since 2009 Its roadworthiness is questionable at best. Nothing can kill it. It rises from the dead every time just like Lazarus. Except Jesus isn’t around to perform miracles anymore. My son and his friends keep it on life support. But for how long? Katley Demetria Brown 2014 |

Love is Sour
Sir Dilworthy Muttonchops stared at the stairs waiting for Jane, his wife who assuaged his cares. He asked himself, “Where she’s been all of this time? It cannot take so long to procure a lime”. Did she stop by to see her friend, Sally Bude or find a man with whom to do something lewd? His fears of her cheating began to retreat when a wagon from Harrod’s stopped in the street. Leaving the vehicle, he is shocked to see his wife and two men unload a potted tree. Deeply ashamed he believed his wife would lust, Dilworthy vowed that in their love he would trust. Unlimited supplies of green citrus fruits strengthened the Muttonchops’ love, limes, limbs, and roots. Jay Immel August 2012 |
