Toothless Lyle and other woes
Well, okay, I'm not
actually toothless. But I am one tooth short, thankyouverymuch. It was my
favorite tooth, too. Now all I have is a big hole in my head. I think they might
have stuck a little transponder in my brain while they were drilling holes in my
head. I have heard voices. At first all they said was, "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" but
now I hear voices telling me other things. Like "Aren't you itchy, Lyle?" Which
of course makes me itchy. And "Your itchy eyes would feel better if you clawed
at them with your dewclaws." And guess what? The voices are right. But when the
bosses see me scratching they act like it is my fault and bathe me, give me
pills, and slather me with ointment. The voices tell me to spit out the pills
and rub the goo on the carpet, so I do. It feels right.
I think the real trouble is that it is August. Every big bad thing that has ever
happened to me has happened in August. So I suggest...no, as President I hereby
declare that we will have no more August. I don't really care what we do with it
but I do not want any more Augusts. If the years go by one month faster that is
perfectly fine with me. I will be old enough for my driver's license that much
sooner. Or we could rename it. I like Lyleuary. I think Lyleuary would be a very
good month.
