Pool Party


Olympic freestyle w/ jungle animals was an instant hit.

The world's top swimmers, driven by ambition and terror, amused the crowd with feats of athletic derring-do.

Behold the gentle panda

blocking lane three

and the gnu in two

basking elegantly.

It was indeed unfortunate about the hungry tigers

diving in and disturbing the plastic markers.

Next, we offer soccer w/ lion pride.

Test audiences loved it, sponsorships galore!

That's tonight at ten.

Gymnastics w/ wolverines tomorrow at four.

  7. Aw, it ALMOST makes me wish I had TV! To be truthful, the longer I look at this image, the creepier it becomes. Your take had me laughing aloud, and reading it aloud.

  10. Bread and circuses, lions and tigers and wolverines. I expect to see this next football season. Bound to sell a lot of corn flakes, and topical anesthetic.

  12. This tone is perfect--kids' illustrated nonsense? horrific Hunger Games post-apocalyptic? And the wolverines are probably more limber than anyone suspects.

  15. This is very funny, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My favorite line, though, is the one that makes me imagine it inside an entirely different, more serene poem: “Behold the gentle panda.”
