Old Willie liked her well enough

initially

thinking a coupla’ characters

like she & he

would make a fine monogram

(etc.)

unaware

Wanda

(The Fish)

would insist on a hyphenated

sir·name.

WTF.

Her personality was like

a very old

(and improperly corked)

champagne,

a little carbon-dated,

and she wasn’t the happiest of campers, either.

way too: pinkie extended

pre·Tent·ious,

and glue·me,

I was nevertheless

stuck on her.

My Easy Bake Oven

is kitsch-and must have,

with light bulb so bright

and mixes pre-fab,

that cook cordon bleu

by just adding water,

to pre-measured powders

to make my cake hotter,

and top every muffin

~with treacly glaze~

no matter if dishes

cook all damn day,

since space-saving gadget

allows me the room,

^ for elbows ^

> and breathing <

and tables for two.
