9582. ONLY ONCE I WORE WHITE

ONLY ONCE I WORE WHITE
:And it wasn't at your wedding:
We tumbled through the flower beds and
the guy who ran the banquet hall got all 
pissed off about that one  -  frogs in 
the wine vat, or something, blaming us. 
I said - 'Hey, Bud, twenty minutes ago 
that was water. You're lucky I came 
along.' Then the ringmaster came in
blasting acorns with a spoon. 'I never
saw that before. What's if for?' He said
'Don't know yet, it's a trick I only just
learned on the way here.' 
-
He took me aside for a smoke, and
asked, 'What do you do for a living?'
I said, 'I write absurdist poetry. How
about you?' He smiled and said,
'Yeah, me too!'
