Two Toos / What to Write About

Two Toos
By Michael Williams

Freddy the frog flipped a fish-
Breaded and boiled was his wish.
He heaved and hoed in a hurry
To get wet on the set of his movie.
Tiny tassels of tinsel tweaked his head,
It was a wondrous weaved wig he said.
The delirious director died that day,
From laughing loud and proud they say.

Eddie the eel eased his easel,
Wiping away the wet weasel
That crashed and smashed his way
Into the indigo watercolor play.
With a sad sadistic smile he hissed,
Rampantly running his face into a fist.
Armed with no arms and no treaty,
The weasel’s last meal was graffiti.

Thus finishes the freaky finale of actor frog Freddy
And the eerie-easeled entry of artist eel Eddie.
Freddy was furious for hushing and halting his movie,
As Eddie’s ego stopped the drawing drama from being groovy.
Freddy and Eddie sacked and packed up their paraphernalia
To take the two of them back to tiny Toe Crack Australia.
Freddy’s funny French farm waited at the sick swamp,
While Eddie’s Eggo entered him in the Electric Stomp.

What to Write About

I don’t know what to write about this week.
Should it be nature or something about the news?
There are many details I need to seek.

Should I write about the toucan’s beak,
Or about how to sing the blues?
I don’t know what to write about this week.

Maybe I could write about how to cook Greek,
Or how to drink a bottle of booze.
There are many details I need to seek.

Could I write about how doors always creek,
Or all of the world’s great zoos?
I don’t know what to write about this week.

I might instruct on how to play “Hide and Seek,”
Or great technique for shuffleboard on a cruise.
There are many details I need to seek.

Perhaps I can show how to climb a mountain peak,
Or how to replace a car fuse.
I don’t know what to write about this week.
There are many details I need to seek.
