From poetry that causes indigestion to prose that makes you horny

Someone asked me: “Can you talk about one novel that has been a huge influence on you and why?”

ME: “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”. As a consequence of reading it, I’ve developed a serious fear of poetry. I couldn’t shake off the feeling that if I were to write poetry it would give people intestinal distress, so it inspired me to write prose instead. Although I’ve never exactly intended to write prose that will make people horny. But that’s better than nausea or stomach pains. So, thanks Vogon poetry!

MISTY’S BODY: “The Picture Of Dorian Gray”, because it made me aspire to be immortalized in photos.

MISTY’S HAIR: “Gone with the Wind”, because I’m glad when the wind is gone.

MISTY’S LEFT FOOT: “Gulliver’s Travels”, because any foot likes it when it’s time to travel.

MISTY’S RIGHT FOOT: “A farewell to Arms”, because it’s a great title as far as feet are concerned.

ME: What about you, brain? Aren’t you going to answer the question?

MISTY’S BRAIN: No. Your answers are so cheesy, the person who asked this question is probably developing an indigestion. There’s nothing for me to add that would improve his situation, except maybe some sodium bicarbonate.

 

See you,

Misty
