SHORT STORIES
Salad Days
Guess I could have called it "Romaines of the Day" or "A Mushroom with a View."
The Son of London
"And your footsteps will always fall here, along England's greenest hills."
POETRY
Chinese Food Is Better Than Sex
A poem about one of my favorite things in the world - Chinese food - and one of my least favorite things in the world - stuck-up women!
If Life Were a Gay Bar
Dorothy and I are friends with a lot of the same people - this is dedicated to them.
I Know Why the Man Cried in His Soup
This really happened at Gourmet Garage.
SONGS
All Those Jews
Kinda like Chicago meets Fiddler on the Roof.
Proud to Be a Jew
Oy, such a song!
Tawdry Audrey
Why is it I never meet girls like this?
When My Uncle Touched Me
I was an adorable kid, yet I was never inappropriately touched by an adult. Hell, I didn't even touch myself until I was 14.
You May Be Fat
Hey, we all have had our battles of the bulge, but this is just ridiculous! Still, in the end, love remains unconditional.
You're Boring
A Cole Porter style diddy that I would have loved Bobby Short to have sang. Inspired by a very nice but unexciting girlfriend I once had.
