Poem: "Novelty"

The cops ditch their cusses
in trash cans behind the house
so they don't mess up their case
Somebody reads the news and
cringes every way you can
Others read it and puke air and jokes
Novelty
Like a hula girl on a dashboard
a window decal of a cartoon t-rex
eating a stick figure family
It's a novelty story -
"Dog Drives Car"
"Elvis Dead at 42"
"Stain Shaped Like Virgin Mary"
It's a novelty story
Forget about it Goodnight
