Game Show
if we were ever on a game show like the old
newlywed game show that was so lame yet fun
at the same time
I would really shake things up
if asked a question like,"How does your husband make a
peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Does he spread the peanut
butter on both slices of bread and then spread the jelly on
one slice or does he spread peanut butter on one slice and
jelly on the other?"
I would reply with,"That's none of your damn business"
or,"That's classified. I could tell you, but then I'd have to
shoot you."
or,"He's allergic to peanut butter and they don't make jelly
where we live"
or,"We're on food stamps. We only eat SPAM and dairy products
and sometimes Ramen noodles when we want to really kick up our
heels"
I would do this just to prove to my Mad Dog friends from
Charlie Company that I really am "crazier than the Devil"
I would do this so that some zombie drinking his coffee in
New Hampshire or some hausfrau slurping her Froot Loops in Florida
would get a JOLT a taste of something new and oh so exciting
I'd be funny to some and stupid to others
"She's crazy. I guess she doesn't want to win"
might be a reaction
or,"She don't know the answer"
or,"I give 'em two years, tops"
that would be my contribution to American society
and I know someday at a really progressive university
they would make a statue
that looked like me
on a really bad day.
