HOLLYWOOD SHORTS

Mel Blanc wanted Bugs Bunny
to be a tough guy,
so he made him talk
Brooklyn and Bronx.

On Sunset Boulevard
the tour guide said,
‘Don’t worry,
he’ll get up,
he’s okay.’

The piano in Casablanca
is so small
it doesn’t have all the keys.

Rita Hayworth was an idiot.
She wrote,
‘Thank’s Sid,’
in front of Grauman’s Chinese.

We saw the house
where Marilyn Monroe died
of a drug overdose.

Later we saw the house
where the rich guy
in the furniture business
died in his sleep of old age
dreaming of Marilyn Monroe.

DOG IN A CAR WITH ALASKA PLATES

Boy, you’re about
as far from home
as you can be, aren’t you?

But you’re used to waiting
there, in the back seat.
I can see that.

You look at me through
the half-open window
just the same way

you’ve looked at
hundreds before me,
and just the same way

you’ll look at hundreds
more. Boy, you have calm
eyes, just about the calmest

I’ve ever seen, in dog
or man. And the emptiest.
So empty, they’re full.

Are you homesick?
You look right at home
in that car, I can’t believe

you are, but I’m sure
you miss Alaska.
I can tell. I can see

it in your calm eyes.
In your empty full eyes.
In your full empty eyes.
