Available for the first time to mortals, Winchestershire Mystery Sauce™ is the only condiment made with genuine ectoplasm, taken directly from the weeping walls of the Winchester Mystery Mansion. You've never summoned flavor like this!

With just a few shakes, Winchestershire Mystery Sauce™ gives burgers a real kick and instantly devils any egg! It's soul good it'll have you speaking in tongues!

The following is a secret incantation spoken before each bottle of Winchestershire Sauce is made...

Oh, Winchester spirits
struck down in days of old,
we ask for your assistance
to make our flavor bold!

The gun that won the west
dealt you a bitter hand,
but you'll exact revenge
if you heed our command.

From the twisting stairways
we offer you reprieve.
Converge now, wayward souls
for the taste we'll achieve!

Enter now this bottle
and we'll mix in the rest.
We seek to make a sauce

A condiment so wicked
no tongue can dare resist!

The Apocalyptic World of Dumpster Donuts


Is this a TV show or a line of Madball-like toys? I don't know...you decide.

You'll find us in the trash
at the end of every day,
being chewed on by the rats...
slowing rotting away.

We are the forgotten,
the lost and tortured souls!
We are the discarded
dumpster donut holes!

Carted away in trucks
to a landfill unknown.
Together lumped in piles,
but somehow still alone.

And as the fire burns,
a bulldozer arrives.
Now we're being buried–
screaming for our lives!

Back at the bakery,
each day it happens again.
For an hour we are fresh,
then we're tossed into the can!

Oh, woe is our poor dough!
A twisted fate untold
for the munchkins that remain 
eternally unsold.

Little Derpie's Discount Donuts


Hey, penny-pinchers! Stop blowing cash at that fancy-pants donuttery in the big city! Why pay $3 a donut when you can get a whole dozen for $1? That's right, Little Derpie™ brand discount donuts are disturbingly cheap and available at a dollar store near you!

So what if they're past expiration and have a few crushed lightbulbs mixed in? Little Derpie™ donuts are the greatest barely edible treats you'll ever consume! Saving money is the best flavor of all!

Little Derpie's donuts–
at your local dollar store!
They're made from mostly sawdust
and junk we scraped off the floor.

Our logo is a girl scout
so you'll blindly trust our word
when we say our food's the best
and doesn't taste like a turd.

You'll smile at the fact
that you saved a lot of cash,
while your stomach is bleeding
and you break out in a rash.

Our products are poorly wrapped,
stale and hard as a rock.
Some people say they'd rather
chew on a dirty sock.

But being thrifty is smart
as everybody knows!
So eat our crappy donuts,
or...just toss 'em to the crows.

Fryday Haiku: Culvers


Look what just opened:
Culver's! My new choice grease pit!
Crunchy onion rings!

Culver's has burgers
fried stuff, and ice cream to boot.
Watch out, Dairy Queen!

Their chicken's not bad
and their fries are average.
Otter's is better.

Damn, Culver's is slammed...
is it really that good or
just because it's new?

They have seafood, too...
and it's actually fresh!
Captain D's, you're fired.

A couple of fryday haiku for you, on account of a new Culver's opening up in my area...right across from a Dairy Queen. Oh snap, it's on!

Haiku Review: Pretzel Chicken Fries


Pretzel chicken fries:
Burger King's new greasy trap!
9 piece for 3 bucks.

I'm a bit at odds...
pretzel as chicken breading?
Weird, but I'll try it.

Salty and crispy.
The pretzel taste is masked since
it's been fried to hell.

When I got mine, it
wasn't really a 9 piece...
more like tons of crumbs.

Thick pretzel coating.
Slinky chicken cuts, but good.
Not bad, Burger King.

Poison Scone


Poison Scone (aka Sconed To Death)

A thought occurred to me when I was alone,
that I could cook a poison scone
 and feed it to someone I hate.
Hey, wouldn't that be great?

I could take them out in one fell swoop;
they wouldn't have a chance to poop
before they puked out all their guts...
but now you probably think I'm nuts.

Before you label me insane,
just run it through your puny brain...
how good it would be to smite a foe
with just a frosted ball of dough!

Cyanide is all it would take...
mix it in and then you bake.
And when it's done you can serve it with tea,
and laugh to yourself maniacally!

Then after your victim starts to gag,
you can stuff them in a body bag
and roll them down a steep ravine
so they won't be heard or seen!

It's not such a bad way to go
if you think about it, you know?
To choke upon a deadly treat...
revenge has never been so sweet!

Fryasaurs


I tried Popeye's fries.
They're peppery like Checkers.
Greasy, but still good.

Popeye's chicken: yum!
Chickens descend from T-Rex.
A spicy revenge!

MLFG Preview: Where Have All The Monsters Gone?


One more preview from my upcoming book, More Lullabies For Goblins...

Where Have All The Monsters Gone?

Where have all the monsters gone
that lived in days gone by?
We're told they went extinct,
but nobody knows why.

Is an asteroid from space
the cause of their tragic fate?
Or was it climate change?
It's still open for debate.

The animals of today
are comparatively dull.
I want to see something huge
with horns coming out of its skull!

Oh, where have all the monsters gone...
the ones with the gaping jaws
and the dangling necks
that defy nature's laws?

Do not lament their passing,
for some have eluded death.
In the cloudiest lakes and jungles
their ancestors draw breath.

So have your camera ready,
and never let down your guard.
For someday you might find
a monster in your backyard!

Rhymania: What Is A Chair?


What Is A Chair?

What is a chair?
A place to sit, a place to eat?
A place to rest your weary feet?

Nailed together wood
with leather stapled to it good.
Made from the finest hide
 with feathers shoved inside!

What is a chair?
A place to ponder, a place to weep?
A place for lazy cats to sleep?

A cushion for the pushin'–
it's where your butt calls home.
A piece of recycled plastic
stuffed with a slab of foam.

What is a chair?
A place to spin, a place to swivel?
A place to plan and snivel?

Ever thought it cruel
to sit on a leather stool
knowing that something died
so you could sit with pride?

What is a chair?
A place to lean, a place to lie?
A place to shrivel up and die?

All these things and more–
that's what a chair is for.
At least that's what they say...
but who cares, anyway?

Top Of The Mourning To Ya


Q: What do leprechauns say to each other when a loved one dies?

A: Top Of The Mourning To Ya!

A Leprechaun Eulogy

Here lies Sheamus O'Leary.
He liked to count his gold
'til one day someone found him
lifeless, stiff, and cold.

He drank himself to death,
as the Irish tend to do.
It seems his liver exploded;
after that, he was through.

All the luck in the world
couldn't save him from the drink.
I wrote this eulogy quick
because he's startin' to stink.

So we stuffed him in this box
and bid our last farewell.
He's pushin' up clovers now
and downin' pints in hell.

Riddle Of The Sphinx


I mingle with the ancient,
a traveler through time.
Behold, I am The Sphinx
master of riddle and rhyme!

Solve for me this query
to prove you're not a rookie.
You'll earn a place in the stars...
and maybe get a cookie.

This one is quite simple –
I'll make it easy for you.
The tapestry above
should yield a clue or two.

You live in me and give in me.
I'm not what came before or what's in store,
but some would do better to focus on me more.

What am I?

another Valentine's vid.
Hope you enjoy it!

This is the 2nd video in my Valentine's haiku series. Take some time to relax and reflect on this horrifically hyped Hallmark holiday.
