THE REDOLENT RAUNCH No life form that I can recall in the Year of the Turkey tasted better than well-prepared Redolent Raunch.
I was having roast haunch THE OSTENSIBLE PRINCIPLE (A wily Predominantly Human life form) I dined last night with A PIECE OF THE WALL Despite the effort of environmental activists, there were no shopping malls remaining on the earth by the Year of the Turkey. I wept on the day THE LITTLE OBSCENE (Predominantly Lower Animal) For a lovable pet, THE ADJUSTABLE MORALS INDUCER This appliance was programmed to permit its adjustment to the varying ethical standards of the life forms in the consumer population. I love my adjustable THE MASOCHISTS One of the more interesting life forms that resulted from the accelerated evolutionary alteration of the post-meltdown period was the Predominantly Human Masochist. Miserable Masochists, EASTER POEM In the Year of the Turkey Easter was fondly remembered, especially by the Pre-Meltdown generation. Damned ol' bunny
Of a Redolent Raunch,
Well basted and grilled by the pool.
But imagine my shock
When I learned that this hock,
Was a Raunch that I knew
Back in school.
I burped and I cried
For my friend here inside,
Then reflected and stopped all the fuss.
If the Raunch on my table
Were in any way able
He'd be having roast haunch of us.
An Ostensible Principle.
"Fight!" it admonished me,
"We are invincible!
It's not the money,
No!!!
Come and be sensible."
I did not hesitate;
I was convincable.
And most deplorably,
Quite indefensible,
Sitting alone
With the check.
Reprehensible!
They bulldozed our last mall,
And I kept a souvenir
Piece of the wall.
I loved all that concrete,
The crowds and the sleaz.
And now! Oh God help us!
They're putting in trees.
Get a little Obscene.
Fulfills a great need,
If you know what I mean.
A joy and a comfort,
But hard to keep clean.
Morals Inducer.
For overnight trips,
I can set it much looser.
Flamingly flagellant,
When they are brutalized,
Beaten or bit,
Scream orgiastically,
Hurting most drastically,
Pleading for you
Not to quit.
And for a master's whip,
They just can't wait to strip,
Panting for pain and hostility.
Thus they live happily,
Albeit slappily.
Craving each new disability.
Sure was a jumper.
Now he's sticking
To my bumper.

About the Book
By the Year of the Turkey, the remaining denizens of our planet had become identifiable. The accelerated evolution of these beings has slowed to an almost normal pace and many new life forms, heretofore unknown, populated the earth. Only a few decades earlier, man’s tinkering with the origins of life had finally precipitated a biological holocaust, an awesome, living upheaval. This bio-technical disaster become known as The Great Genetic Meltdown.
About the Author
Walter Alton Jones, while seeking the Lost City of Gold on the Internet, was suddenly transported during an electrical storm far into the future, to a time known as the Year of the Turkey. That particular year followed an event called The Great Genetic Meltdown, during which all of Earth’s beings, as we know them, were changed forever. The random mixing of Earth’s life forms resulted in new and different creatures. The new citizens that emerged had many of the faults and virtues of the old ones, but lower animals had human attributes, and some humans began to resemble and behave as lower animals. Plants were also mixed with the animal kingdom. One might say that, at last, true diversity was achieved. The author is not a scientific person, but he loves lyrics. He, therefore, seized the opportunity to record his observations during the Year of the Turkey in verse, before he re-appeared in the present. Fortunately, his literary background (He has read and was influenced by the books of Dr. Laura, G. Gordon Liddy and Shel Silverstein.) was of great benefit to him in this effort. Earthlife After the Great Genetic Meltdown was completed shortly after Jones returned to his Decatur, Georgia, law office, where today he represents clients with slip and fall injuries and fondles his words.
