Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

A handsome gnome
came to me last eve
with precise instructions,
"Get out of bed,
Write my words impeccably."

So I didn't resist,
sat on the cold bathroom tile
careful not to wake my girlfriend
with bedroom light, my hand
glided like a feather over
the yellow lined tablet.

1. Must every action open a window ?

2. Should each word soar like a red-tailed hawk ?

3.Can a morning shower pump life into a dying spirit ?

4. Will ejected Pop Tarts teach you to fly ?

5. How much V-8 does it take to purify rotting tissue ?

6.Does anyone give you credit when you drive with your knees,
do they know that you can juggle hot coffee and talk on the cell ?

7. Would it help if your laptop had high definition and a port
for a cattle prod ?

8. Will your boss from the Black Lagoon seem less repulsive today ?

9. Is today the day you pluck out his eyeballs, mail them to
Human Resources ?

10. Can the faces of your children keep you sane in enemy
territory ?

11. Will you get an honorable mention in the end ?

12. Are you an average guy ?


When I tried to speak to ask my own questions,
the little man interrupted with a Stop Sign Hand....

"Hold up....when you know the correct answers to
the dozen questions I gave you, I will return."

I love the zaniness of this

when I'm in a more zany mood and have studied my surrealistic Big Book more, I will respond to your twelve steps.

I am looking forward to his return.

my little voice at 4 am. says, "put your head down and make it thru another
96 degree in the shade day, then come home home take a rest and hope u have enuff energy to go out and play>>>".....ps i'll try the shower thing manana,
although there's never enuff time...hell i'll get up at 3:45 am......

i fear the number of 'nos' will perplex the dear gnome,
so i'm glad he came to your place, steve
(and yes, yellow pads are essential for these things - or do you think pink might have brought out a different flavour?)

way cool. you're pretty hip for a mailman.

mmm... are you sure it wasn´t a kind of alien? all that questions when you are just about to sleep!!! uuhhh!!!!!!

Gnome visits are good omens you know.
Unless they have horns. Did you check under his hat?

enchanting and wonderful.
