Caramelised Jamboree Bags
Bedevilled by mosquitoes
She plunged the plain white bread into the toaster's gaping maw
Smoke rising, she plunged in a fork.
Zot! She was transfigured by Electra's arcing blood!
And so was doubly bedevilled.
But lo! The mosquitos were fried like Deadheads!
Their crunchy bodies made the jelly like jam
That she smeared unto her blackened skin
howling, feral, at the sink, she
Grew a large proboscis
Fit for the burden in hand
Hansel and Gretel had come in for directions
to finally arrive in this barren land
Bit of a bummer of a day really
what with all that turning into a mosquito business and everything
