The Fall 
-------- 
by Snarfblat 
 
Green as the leaves on the trees, Gumby stands 
Tall against the giant mountains 
Stretched before him endless fields 
He starts to move, a graceless mass 
of paint and clay. 
His plodding feet pound on the ground, 
as he races toward the blazing toxic waste 
Suddenly, the ground beneath him thins 
and he penetrates the surface of the tissue paper earth. 
And then, around him, walls appear where nothingness had been, 
and from the bottom of the pit cannon balls are hurled. 
His thick green blood splatters on the walls. 
And still, Gumby falls. 
Angry knives attack and slash away at Gumby's eyes, 
and then he lands, 
Impaled upon a giant knitting needle one thousand miles high, 
piercing him and shredding him 
until his breath gives way to the agonizing screams of 
Painful Death. 
Spinning, twisting, screaming, Gumby begins to implode, 
as his molecules warp away into a new dimension. 
And at the bottom of the pit a bloody gumwad lies 
among the greasy squirming pus that once was Gumby.

                             Pulsating, green. 
                          Glowing like a new life. 
                           Expanding, contracting 
                           With a constant rhythm 
                         So perfect, so spheroidal 
                            It is its own world. 
                         It is mine for I found it. 
                   In a box marked "Danger do not touch" 
                             I am one with it. 
                            I dared to love it. 
                             I dared to own it. 
                            I dared to feed it. 
                        When it was sick I cured it 
                     When it was smart I encouraged it 
                     It grew to be larger than my house 
                         This green piece of matter 
                             How I care for it 
                        Though I know naught of it. 
                              My only friend. 
                                       
 
     
Cow Dance  
---------  
by Snarfblat 
      
in the cool pale light 
of the moonlit summer night, 
she dances across the hilltops 
gracing the world with her  
bovine beauty. 
spinning, cascading, 
she suddenly stops 
to notice the simple beauty 
of dew on an earthworm. 
 
the sun's light begins to heat 
her uniquely organic black spots. 
her time has gone; she retreats  
to her underground cave 
for another hundred year slumber.

           [ You want poetry?  Here's poetry.  This is my data ph1L3 for a Pascal 
program that writes random poems.  It's a cool poem by itself. - Sna ] 
 
The guy's name was Ed. 
Ethan wore his Keds(TM). 
paint the town red. 
The baker baked the bread. 
That was all he said. 
Running on a tread. 
The pencil's filled with lead. 
Don't get bluddy head. 
"Oh my God, I'm dead." 
I was flying on a sled 
Eating Uncle Fred. 
As the avocado bled. 
I said Wow. 
As the Cow. 
Took a bow. 
To the plow. 
And the sow. 
But where's Mao? 
In the flow(er). 
Ethan spat 
on the cat 
with a bat 
in his frat 
where you at? 
the Budayeen 
it's the evil queen 
with her ovaltine 
and inflated spleen 
eating eggs and beans 
drooling like a teen 
waking Mr Green 
'cuz his snore is obscene 
when he dreams those dreams. 
Chuckle chuckle ha ha ho ho hee. 
eating all the chocolate in that bean. 
the Apple said Ichabod. 
Fire hydrant. 
Orange. 
Yorange.
