Serious Grasshopper

author’s note:

After the last post, I thought I should lighten up a bit...

...though I find such joy in being dreadfully serious.


FUN HOUSE MIRROR

I feel as
ridiculous
as a grasshopper
wearing pants.

Your mirror
has reduced
my oration
of dictionary
seriousness
to a thin cartoon.
