HOOPS, MARMALADES, AND KAZOOS
megan martin
The neighborhood association is a terrible thing to be a part of. We should only be a part of that which is juicy and lovable to us. That is what I call our purpose.
I join a kitty cat troop that performs worldwide in jungles on Tuesday afternoons with hoops, marmalades and kazoos.
Those who object will say it is too hard and also pointless to invent things other than babies. But babies are not inventions. People just think they are because they are incapable of actual inventions.
I would dress my baby in fox pelts. I would polish my baby's head til it shined like a bus. I do a song and dance number about this in the jungle, in the center of a ring of kittycats in the center of a ring of trees.
It brings me supreme joy, knowing nobody knows that nobody has ever done this before.
