MANAYUNK (a haiku)
Rancid wad of phlegm,
dribbling down a slick rock face.
Let’s name our town that!

POOP!
A really bad poem is one without rhyme.
It sounds really awkward every single recitation. (time)
It’s meter and beat are uneven and base.
Just rhyming won’t do it, it needs a good – bouncy rhythm and a spot-on, neeto keen…..pace.
And don’t forget poets who make up new words,
who clutter the page with “scruffulous’ turds.
A really bad poem just might make you cry.
Not like…from “feelings!” but a poke in the eye.
Yeah, a really bad poem will poke out your eye,
It will stomp on your toes and might make you…..screech like a howler monkey (cry).
But a really bad poem is funny sometimes
if you get past bad meter and horrible rhymes.
A really bad poem might just be crap
’cause the person who wrote it’s a horrible chap.
You might just not care for their poetic shit
and feel like you just want to…..GAG. (spit)
***We have all the BEST poop (and the worst bad poems). Our poop is so good it almost looks delicious (if you only knew what we had to eat to get it to look like that…) in Fact, all the shit we make with EEW Books is the best, locally produced and free of corporate influence. Find our books and stuff at www.sallemander.com and at our Etsy shop, (search EEWbooks). -Marsha
Birth of a Clown
The birth of a Clown is a sacred thing. A blessed and joyous day. So pinch your nose and light a match and try not to flush it away.
***They say “You can attract more flies with honey than with vinegar” – but even more with poop. I guess the same applies to Comic Cons…where my ‘POOP’ stickers were a HUGE hit. Oh, they loved my new books and original art prints and stuff – but the poop stickers lured them in like adorable, moist little champs. The Newark Comic Con last Saturday was a good one for us. We met tons of cool, beautiful, fascinating comic people, had a great time (and even made a little money). I can’t wait for the next show in September. The image this week is page 7 from ‘Marsha Mellow’s Blue-ish Freaks’. My new ‘Creepy Clowns Coloring Book’ should be up on our site an ready for sale next week. -Marsha
