ReplyDeleteWord prompt from Angela Earle’s writing class / summer of 2006
Toy is the fruit of the first season of man – reason being the second
Boy how they did toy with me at work
Are these modern toys extensions of ourselves?
If so, are they helping us harmonize with nature?
What are we toying with when we purport to control nature –like a marvelous spinning top?
I once had a toy called the zube tube
Any sounds resonating through the springy tube would resonate chords with passerby
Attaching another favorite toy – the voice changer – to the end of this hollow tube resulted in sounds
Never before heard in our childlike dimension
Unusual phrases spoken into the hallowed tube accentuated our voices into areas
Where we seemed to be toying with unknown worlds
Who needs computers anyway?
A box is a wonderful toy
Can be filled to brim with imagination
Whiffle ball is underrated
It’s the perfect sport in many fashions
A game can spring to life practically anywhere
I once cursed into the tube, screeching into Steve’s ear,
“Don’t blame” –or “Stop Blaming God for not existing!”
This really pissed off Mike
He starting yelling, “You know what Banholzer, That’s all you really needed was a zube tube
Now you will really become a famous mathematician or a pilot!
The Zube Tube was all you needed for the proper jump start”
It took me seventeen poor boy years to realize why I pissed him off so
