In the News

Christine Howard



New Orleans man lost his way--
��On the Pinasco Blanco Trail.
��Hasty search teams formed--tracks found where he left the trail
��Area scoured--Dogs have the scent.

Body found under hospital stairwell,
��Corpse camouflaged, subject stalked, conditioned of dress undetermined.

One-eyed Fred lost a lock of hair and his life
��Beat to death with a baseball bat by a four-star man.

In an illegal campsite west of town--
��Bear scratches woman, bear sentenced to death by the local constabulary
��(Why didn’t he at least take a taste)

In Bismarck, North Dakota where winter are long and frigid.
��1800 hearty, hardy souls set a new record for simultaneous snow angels.
��Waving arms and legs they welcomed the five point four inches of snow
��On the first day of spring.

Stars composed entirely of quarks or some unknown exotic
��Studied by the Hubble telescope
��(Haven’t we always known that stars were exotic)?

Homeless man get a “Happy Meal” wins a million dollars
��In McDonalds’ random giveaway.
��(This was real not Monopoly money).

Fruitless search in Horseshoe canyon for a man
��He stabbed his wife on the front porch with a steak knife.
��Man found not a fruit but maybe a nut
��Drove off the mesa in his SUV. (Ejected from vehicle and existence)

Hole dweller alive--not dead as was reported
��Left his old hole because of flooding.
��Solitude gives him time to think
Tells a tale involving mattress-- rooming house-- a woman

Man’s ashes launched with a boom.
��Thrust into the sky on the fourth of July--
��He must be seeing stars still with such a sendoff.
