Biting into heads
is much harder than it looks
His skull is feisty.

Dear Madam,I was dismayed to read &#8220;Ode to Chupacabra&#8221; in your recent Splarks.com update.  I protest the vilification of my reputation and defamation of my character, and request that you retract your statement unless you&#8217;d like to begin a [...]]]></description>

sneaking down the alleyway
skulking round the back porch
gonna have a heyday!
Chupacabra,
sucking all the goats dry
getting fat on ill-gains
and making little kids cry.
But what are you doing
to the immigrant farmer?
How will he feed his kids
You creepy little varmint?
What about the old lady’s
chickens in her backyard
you’re eating them for dinner
and you know she can’t get a job!
Chupacabra,

Although more critter tales are on their way, including an interview with El Chupacabra, this series is aimed at helping rock stars find inner peace.  Today we&#8217;re visiting a problem from one of my (shush) favorite classic rock bands.
Good Morning, Robert!  I&#8217;m pleased to meet you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh my.  I found an old story that Dave Goff from Gestalt Digital (www.gestaltdigital.com) kindly formatted and found pictures for several years ago.  I thought I had lost it forever, but no, it lives in infamy and I&#8217;ll post the scanned copy here to amuse/horrify/stupify you.  Happy Holidays!

		<description><![CDATA[On Halloween night
Paws in doorstep candy-bowl
Steal a Kit-Kat, run.
Hide in tree, gloating
Suspicious scowl at witness
Stuff in mouth, all yours!
O Piggy Squirrel
Halloween ain&#8217;t just for kids
Chocolate stuffed cheeks.
All candy&#8217;s gone now
Crying child, you&#8217;re out of luck
Squirrel&#8217;s chowing down.
(Yes, this actually happened)
