Garrison Keillor Rocks My World
I'm signed up for email's from The Prairie Home Companion and The Writer's Almanac. Well...this was the poem that was sent this morning in The Writer's Almanac:
Poem: "The Bath," by Russell Edson, from The Tormented Mirror (University of Pittsburgh Press).
The Bath
A man was taking a bath in a tub of turkey gravy; floating a rubber duck to while away eternity. Eating mashed potatoes, dipping forkfuls in his bath . . .
It was gorgeous, the whole thing, he thought, me in soak with a duck, having mashed potatoes and gravy, while out there a whole crazy world . . .
I want to take a bath in mashed potatoes and turkey gravy. Yum.

I'm sorry... the thought of that much mashed potatoes and gravy just makes me want to hurl.

i would rather take a bath in pudding. unless it was a hot summer day, in which case i would rather take a bath in chilled jello.
