Encounter Group Tragedy

This week's session
was a bit depressing
for Coyote. He had
suggested that group
members spend a few
days discovering their
inner child--which was
all well and good, except
for Guppy, Scorpion, and
Lawyer, who, out of 
instinct, ate their inner
children as soon as
they discovered them.

  
Love at First Sight

Badger was sure that
his clever outfit would
win the Halloween
contest hands down.
It had taken him weeks
to snip parts from
all of his old costumes
and sew them together
into something he liked
to call a "whatizit."
Unfortunately, Badger
never made it to the
party because on the
way, his costume was
ruined when a platypus
pushed him down 
and fucked him.

 
A Very Special Bat

"What is the universe?" asked
Coyote looking up at the stars.
Then he realized he was not
looking at stars but at lightning
bugs. Suddenly, Bat swept by
and ate a bunch of them. "Woe
is me," said Coyote. "My world
is fraught with solipsisms."
Through a mouth full of glowing
bugs, Bat said, "Thanks, but
no jalapenos for me. These bugs
are just fine by themselves." 


Ask and Ye Shall Receive

Fox sat beneath a weeping
willow plaintively strumming
a lute and singing this tune.
"When wilst the young spring breezes bring
thy merry song, oh Robin gay?
The winter hast a long time been.
A long time hast the sky been gray."
No sooner had Fox finished his
melody than Robin lit on a branch
above him, chirped a couple times,
and blew a load of crap on his lute.
