DELIVERY OF A STRANGE THING

I made a strange thing

for this bar

which I so fell in love with.

Decor mostly black & red,

images all about women,
and

drop dead gorgeous
lampshades,

Finally the owner appears

in black and white stripes.

Seems I keep missing her,

only to hear,

"I can't deal with this right now!",

 "I'm too light in the head!"

"Have been at the races all afternoon."

"Looks like voodoo to me."

Reflecting upon it, perhaps she's right.

When I created this doll,

I must have had the New Orleans 

French Quarter in my head 

with an Anne Rice novel in my hand.

What DID she expect?!

IS

THE NIBBLIES

The Nibblies

 slipped into

the portrait archives

and 

nibbled their way out.

The curator

caught one

and put it under

the Bell jar,

before more damage

could be done.
