The Velvet Gentleman

The French artiste Erik Satie
Did place his cup indiscreetly
On velvet love seat
That one did entreat,
"Set tea, did Satie, on settee?"

I Dislike Mike

All Michael Bay movies are toys
Mere wind-up machines that make noise
So loud and so dumb
One's mind becomes numb
They're products for ADD boys.

Full Court Stress

Poor guys, middle-aged, playing hoops
Who run back and forth loop-de-loops
They gasp, pant and wheeze
And drop to their knees
As get-up-and-go up and droops

Tripping the Light Fantastic

Al Hofmann, quite unfurtively
Did discover LSD
One hundred and two
He lived until due
To chemical preservatives---WHEEEEE!

Hot Link

Good Food Fast Dept.
Hot Doug’s is the place where encased
Ground meats of all kinds are embraced
Want duck fries with that?
(They’re fried in fowl fat)
The best place for a wurst with good taste

Star Drek

As fave sci-fi geek TV show

Each Spock-loving nerd

Corrects use of “To boldly go…”

The Long Caballo

Director who's also the star

The pink horse she rode

Es un bueno New Mexican noir

Fume-etti

Perpetual motion machines

As planned by sustainable Greens:

They'll daily ingest

Legumes they har-vest

And run from the gas caused by beans

Whistler In The Dark

Of all of the fun Castle flicks
My favorites star Richard Dix
These taut Whistler "B"s
Top series with ease
Two noir tales of fate's dirty tricks




Mark Of The Whistler was based
on a story by Cornell Woolrich.

It's Day 7 of William Castle Week!



“Let’s Kill Uncle” --it’s kid vs. spy!
Matching wits, for a fortune, they vie
Using sharks, poison, spiders
As fatal deciders
Nigel Green hopes his nephew will die!

It's Day 6 of William Castle Week! Enjoy!



Joan Crawford's insane to the max
Her grip on reality's lax
She's blamed for the slaughter
(It's really her daughter)
When her victims are given the axe

Night Walker, Nexus Stranger

Somnambulist Bureau

Though her murder had long since began
Barb Stanwyck's not wise to the plan
Her recurring bad dream
Is not all it might seem
And Babs proves she can scream like a man!

Prank Amateurs

Telecommunications Bureau



Two young girls, so bored and alone
Decide to have fun with the phone
They randomly dial
A murderer, vile
Oops, looks like their cover is blown!
