A Preeminent Presentation
King Pietro of Luckland posted me a plea to perform my
prestigious presentation of pirouetting parrots at the palace for Princess
Patricia’s private party. The prior
player, Pied Piper’s Parading Poodles, postponed due to pooped puppies.
So, I pedalled post-haste to the palace to be pushed
public. My parrots plied their
pirouettes perfectly, to precious pretty praise from prepubescent
party-goers. We preened properly, proud
to proffer prosperity to the princess’s party.
Post party, I pecked at puffy profiteroles and peppered pretzels, plugged into
the procession past the princess for a pleasant prattle before parting with the
pack for our pad.
Tonight on Haunted Kitchens
The following paranormal account is based on true life
events...
Tonight we bring you the story of a home where no liquid is
safe from spirits. One evening a man
named Grant (not his real name) walks to his refrigerator looking for a snack,
only to find a mysterious puddle. His
tea inexplicably transferred from its jug on the refrigerator shelf to the
floor. Next, his coffee vanished from
its pot, never to be seen again.
Is it ghostly phenomenon or somehow explainable?
Tonight on Haunted Kitchens, you decide...
And tomorrow night, the tale of the toaster that pops
itself.
Captain Blinky
“Hello, my name is Captain Blinky and I’m a useless
superhero.”
As one, the support group chimed, “Hello, Captain Blinky!”
Wanda Wonderful, the group therapist, leaned forward. “Tell us about your inadequate superpower,
Captain Blinky.”
“I turn invisible for a fraction of a second when I blink,
as you undoubtedly noticed. But I can’t
maintain the invisibility. Constant
blinking doesn't work. Nothing
works!” A sob caught in his throat. “I couldn't even get work as a special
effect. Why can’t I be a regular superhero?”
“There, there, Captain, let it out. You’re among friends. We are all useless superheroes here.”
