Here are some gems from the poetry collection:
It's Easy, Perhaps
It's easy, perhaps, to spring for some swills
With your bar tab unfurled - and be giving.
It's the harder part to settle your bills,
And to ponder the cost of high living.
Wilhelm Mezcal
Know'st thou the bar
where the vodka glass calls?
Where the orange ales glow
in the deep, darkened halls?
Where the Maid ever smiles
and the Keep ever pours?
And the drinkers imbibe
'til they fall on the floor?
Mug and Mali are currently Atlas Moopers at the Constance Noring Institute for the Study of Retoxification, where their work on Whack-Job Cocktails made them the subjects in numerous experiments. They have co-authored over sixty Miscellaneous books, many copies of which have survived the purges (search Amazon with the key words "Miscellany" and "John Molly Boose"). Mug & Mali were the first to suggest the use of personal service goats as pigeon targets. While interns at 2M's Boris Scilley Yellow Sticky Lab they illuminated both upper and lower brain approaches to left field theory and were co-guest editors (with Rufus Leaking) of "Do Trousers Matter?" Mug & Mali enjoy sharpening crayons, dulling others' wits through the application of delicious cocktails, cooking up mischief, and advocating monkey wrenching as a tactic of last resort. Enjoy!
