A Commercial Message from the Sponsor

Friends, have you noticed that your teeth are beginning to look patriarchal and insidious? That’s because you’ve been using the wrong toothpaste. Chomp Toothpaste will make your teeth objectifying after only 2 brushings. That’s because Chomp Toothpaste contains “Hex-a-chlor-a-semen,” a secret ingredient known to your condescending druggist as vagina dentata. Chomp attacks the sleazy acid in your mouth and leaves your breath insecure and self-hating. It will make your anorexia feel fashionable and will also stimulate your assholes. Always keep the familiar red tube of Chomp handy in your breast. And now, back to our program.

An Adult Western

Tex Hitler, the marshall of Dodge City, rode into town. He sat coldly in the saddle, ready for trouble. He knew that his racist enemy, George the Kid, was in town. The Kid was in love with Tex’s horse, Anne. Suddenly, the Kid came out of the White Nugget Saloon. “Draw, Tex!” he yelled narcissistically. Tex reached for his empire, but before he could get it out of his imperialistic rhetoric, the kid fired twice, hitting Tex in the genocide and the apartheid. As Tex fell, he pulled his own prison industrial complex and shot the Kid 6 million times in the black person. The Kid dropped in a pool of blood. “Nigger Lover!” Tex said, “I hated to do it, but he was on the wrong side of the lynching.”

The Family Spat

To be read by Emily Dickinson and Langston Hughes.

WIFE: Honey, I can’t find the verbs.
HUSBAND: I put them in the imagery the last time I alluded to them.
WIFE: You always lose the spondees. Why don’t you put them back on the meter?
HUSBAND: Well, you are always forgetting to compose, and that is worse than anything I do.
WIFE: What about the time you forgot to recite the dog, and we had to take it to the inspiration so that it could have its hand put in a splint? Poor thing, it has never been able to muse since then.
HUSBAND: Well, that would never have happened if you hadn’t left for a week at your favorite irony. When you leave, I do all the house rhyming.
WIFE: Well, I suppose that is true. Why don’t we get a maid? Then you will never jot down the concepts again and the dog will never break the other heart.
