In the nuclear future, we will evolve into cockroaches.

With Kafka as our prophet, we will scuttle through the endless rubble, and wish we had instead grown wings.

Marjorie was tired of being told that she was getting too big for her boots.

So she bought bigger ones.

Q and U stick together like glue

Except in exceptions like qinghaosu

Where the true-love-letters are torn in two

Passers-by saw him as a slimy slug

“Everything is transient!” said the snowflake as he thawed.

“Everything is eternal!” said the droplet he became.

Harry the arthropod liked to wear heels.

He was a transvestmite.
