God's Pie

Coyote seized the massive pie
and hefted it up to his waist.
Yes, it was some pie, and Coyote
had only begun to recognize
its possibilities. 
From where had this pie come?
For whom was it intended?
Then the Great White Father
appeared in the clouds
above Coyote and said;,
"Ask not for whom this pie
was intended, Coyote.
It was intended for thee."
Soon the sky filled with hawks
that seized the pie in their talons
and bore it skyward.
"Look," screamed Coyote.
"It is the sun. The Great
White Father has created the sun
just for me!" And Coyote
turned his face unto the sun.
"What was that sound?" said Crow,
hearing a giant wallop in the distance.
"God just hit Coyote with
another pie," said Badger.

  
Musical Mouse Sponge

Coyote sat in the bath tub
watching a little wind up
duck make circles around
his toes. Suddenly Coyote
drifted off into a dream
where the duck paddled
around to his stomach,
looked up at him and said,
"Aren't you a little old for this?"
Just as suddenly as he had
fallen asleep, Coyote woke up
and noticed the duck bumping
against his stomach. Had it
been a dream? Coyote could
only wonder as he reached
for his musical mouse sponge.


Ipso Facto Prayer Request

Fox, Coyote and Crow
sat down at the table.
"Who is going to say the
blessing?" asked Coyote.
Fox and Crow looked at
each other then farted.
"I guess that will do,"
said Coyote digging 
into his potato salad

Ozymandias' Squeezy Duck

After several grueling trips to the Amazon,
Coyote and Crow acquired enough rubber
to build a duck that towered many cubits
into the sky. The duck was years in
the making and cost the life of many
a slave, but as followers threw themselves
at the dark planes of its webbed feet,
they did not question the means by which
they had come to this end. Millennia later,
Fox was on a bus tour and asked the driver,
"Who built the big duck sticking out of
the sand?" "I don't know," said the driver,
"But every time the sand shifts on summer
nights, you can hear a faint squeaking
coming out of the top of its head."
