The Rapture

I glimpsed the future yesterday,

next to a secular display

A lovely strange place

Here Darwin fights faith

Fun no matter which side you play.

 

This is from my favorite "Natural History" museum in Louisiana.  Worth a visit. The woman who runs it is amazingly sweet, interesting, and accommodating.  Here are a few more pictures to enjoy.

hulk cookie

With so few colors from which to choose

I let intuition be my muse

Red and Yellow, that's good

form icons from childhood

this badass hulk cookie cannot lose

If any of you happen to be in Colorado sometime in the next three months, check out this show at the Fort Collins Museum of Contemporary Art.  You'll see 12 diverse artists that deal with science in their work, including yours truly.  The reception is Friday, January 4th at 7pm.

Here is a link to the exhibition and Jeanne Shoaff's fine curatorial statement.

Wet Cat

 

D. Lets us know about this and that

Lately it's a scream, not a nice chat

I don't sleep like I please

When the D. has the fleas

So I spend a night with a wet cat

20 Yard Dog

 

Let's chalk some sports in my Southern log

Defeating teams from beyond the bog

The crowd woofs like a hound

Ignoring what I've found

A delectable twenty-yard dog

Syllabi Slayer

Oppressive heat chased the fool inside

Coffee cup knight, caffeine he does ride

On quests of mind, not place

Stain-toothed smirks spread on face

"Kill the Syllabi beast!" they both cried.

Hot House Louisiana

 Mission Control, I've crashed in LA

The lifeforms here have locked me away

Decoding fluid drawls

I declare to Y'Alls

Beneath this suit is one sweaty Jay

 


i'm sorry for the dry spell on the limericks lately.  I am now all moved to my new job and will be back to consistency. I appreciate your patience and loyalty to these silly things and promise to have some more absurdity coming.

Relaxing at the edge of the prairie

Laying at the edge of the prairie

I think of the things customary

Music of chirps and clicks

A thorough check for ticks

Then melt my cruel heart with black coffee
