Acme 101
by Britt ZimmermanBees are a swarmin, and i somehow get the feeling like I missed the e ticket for the long walk off a short pier. And I am dangling like a cartoon character, legs suspended running on some unseen treadmill. Body dropping, head staying in place...Zip then catching up again. Hitting the ground with a giant THUD typewritten above a gaping whole in the cement. White flag a waving, sheepish grin, "meep meep!" watch the roadrunner zoom by my exhausted flattened like a tin can body. Get ACME on the phone...I want my money back for all the things I bought into that never worked right. I guess I failed to read the disclaimers.
