Sometimes I wonder what it’s like — being able to multiply and divide.

What strange powers God has conferred upon all you people.  I can only hope that you will use them for good.

Sometimes I can write well.  But, holy shit, the lord does not give with both hands.



Kurse you, Kroger!

This is the face I make when the supermarket is out of liverwurst.  Oh, the humanity.

(Alas, I am Eric. And my brilliance is strictly pun-based.)

If my name was Brad, I would totally learn to make cakes and things.

Because then I could open a bakery and call it “Baking Brad.”



This post has mad “Pontypool” energy and I’m totally here for it.

IYKYK.

“I met a kitten with whom I was smitten.”

I met a kitten
with whom I was smitten.
I laid frosted wheat
in front of her feet.
It was all that I had!
(My diet is sad.)
But she ran away
this sorrowful day.



Alright, look — I know that dry cereal is an idiotic treat with which to befriend a cat.  But off-brand Frosted Shredded Mini-Wheat really was all I was carrying, besides a couple of Kit-Kat bars.  (I am a poet, not a nutritionist, and I’d only needed those two things when I was out.)

I’ve never been 100 percent clear about whether it was a myth or not that chocolate was dangerous to animals (brand name notwithstanding).  So of course I kept the candy in the bag.



Liverwurst is evidence of a loving god.

Liverwurst.  With thinly sliced tomato on top.  (Okay, I can’t slice tomatoes to save my life.)  Or a smattering of onions.  That’s even better, in fact.

No, this is not disgusting — it is DIVINE.  You just can’t appreciate that because you’re a Philistine.

You say to-MAY-to and I say to-MAH-to and all that.



I’m a Fred I have another bad pun for you.

So here’s the plan — I’m gonna move back to my college town of Fredericksburg, Virginia, and start a poetry group there.

Gonna call it “Fred Poets Society.”

(I already e-mailed my old writing prof and told him he had to be our Mr. Keating.)
