The Hazards of Microwave Radiation

     hmm... what to do now?
I forgot what this was going to be,
but that happens a lot more
     frequently now that I've lost my mind.
Not completely - mind you -
Just mostly like that guy in "Princess Bride"
Although he was mostly dead and I'm only mostly
crazy like a fox.
I'm not sure what that means, but I like it -
I like it like a pig likes corn.
But I can't eat insanity - it's not thick enough
I could drink it or boil it and inhale it...
Oh! I could mix it with flour and
     Make gravy.
I told you I could eat it on mashed potatoes,
but I wouldn't ever put gravy on corn.
Well, maybe - I haven't had insane gravy
     that I recall.
I think I might like it -
     but I haven't had it that I recall.
I oughta make a cookbook
     of insane foods
- in 5 easy minutes!
And then I could make microwave meals
     of insanity.
Except for one problem -
     it wilts in the microwave.
And it doesn't keep too well when chilled.
Serve piping hot. Serves 6-8.
That's an average of 7 - and it's
an incomplete sentence.
Sentences begin with a capital and
     end with a period.
     usually.
Sometimes the punctuation changes and
Capitals sneak in with Proper Nouns.
I'd rather an improper noun -
at least they don't keep trying to
Start new sentences three times a page.
I hate them so much! too many
My name is a proper noun - a Proper Noun.
I've sent it back since.
Now, when it says, "last, first"
in all lowercase,
I copy it right there, "last, first."
Now e e cummings, there's a name!
Except it doesn't end a sentence well.
And the punctuation is important, too.
It helps break stuff up - y'know what I mean?
ITSBETTERTHANTHEROMANSWRITINGLIKETHIS
at least I think it is.
ISHOULDWRITEMYCOOKBOOKLIKETHISTOO,
drive up demand.
And that about does it.
I've suddenly become
Amazingly aware that
My last ounce (fluid ounce) of sanity
Has just wilted
In the microwave.
