Cheddar Cheese and Chocolate Cake
I am crazy about rich, dark, espresso coffee. I
am addicted to extra-sharp cheddar cheese and
chocolate cake. I never tire of window-shopping
or munching crisp apple pies from Burger King. I
can consume a whole package of Wheat Thins while
curled up reading a favorite novel. I wear purple
eyeshadow and pink nail varnish- always. I love
to laugh and scream for joy, to sing at the top
of my voice. I like to play heavy rock loud
enough to burst your eardrums. I like crazy
parties, whipped cream, and solitude. Juliet
Gainsborough

Hiccups
Dear Hiccups, Youre the enemy of my mouth and
throat. Youre the worst thing that could ever-
hic- happen! If you ever should disturb me again,
I shall toss you out of my vocal chords. Youre
like hail on an angry alligator. So, catch my
drift, dear hiccups-hic- and get far, far
away. Get out-hic-DEAR, AWFUL HICCUPS! -hic- J
