Was his weekend with
our sinew-budding boy; Hey!
Mom, he bubbled spill-
ing through the door, guess
what? I tried not to react...
Dad & I had
a "kickAss" time! What!?,
I blurted. Yeah! he took me
to the archery-
gun range & then to
his friends, we hung-out & swam
in a big rock carry
& Dad & his friend
& me we had some barbeque
it was r-e-a-l- spicy
& stuff to drink. He
was breathless! When I called my
ex-joker for some
more info, some clar-
ification to the week-
end, in a try to
get us on the same
page, he managed to almost
only comment Did
he also tell you
I showed him how to spit!?

At the Park he parked
his bicycle - somebody
stole it; so he bought
and chained another
at a fence - they cut the chain;
he Titanium-chained
then to the fence - they
cut the fence; he then Titan-
iumed to a pow-
erpole - somebody
stole the frame & left the wheel;
so at the steelpole
he Titaniumed
through the wheels & frame -
they bolt-cuttered &
left a wry note!; so
he lashed to a Northern Pine
his Mastiff beside -
they shot the dog &
uprooted the tree; so he
lashed again, to a
Sequoia - they chain-
sawed & stole the Earth!
