CARTOON ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY 101<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Poor Charley Brown kicked the bucket.
\nThey said it was his head gave out.
\nIn the end he ran out of luck, it
\nwas a case of cranial gout.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

His case confounded medical science,
\nsince he was two dimensional,
\nand had been in full compliance
\nwith the Cartoonists’ International.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

We now know that Charles Shultz’s demise
\nhit Charley hard. He found solace
\nin gorging on cookies and pies
\ndrawn for him by indulgent artist.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

His head soon swelled to such great size
\nhe had to have a power chair drawn.
\nThen an ink clot quickly gave rise
\nto need to erase. In an instant, he’d gone.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Of course Charley was a cartoon.
\nLike Phoenix he rose from ashes:
\nswirling penstroke shaped like full moon,
\nalong with several dashes.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Exploring the Anatomy and Physiology of Love<\/font>
\n (Still Superior to Video Gaming)<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

We met down at the vid game store,
\ntwo players running up the score.
\nMy console turned on though not plugged in
\npowered up by her eyes and skin.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

When we kissed, electricity sparked
\nand so we drove away and parked.
\nAnatomical exploration
\ncaused visible neural elavation.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

It took not long for love’s crescendo
\nbuilt by thrills which topped Nintendo.
\nI stroked her X-Box till she swooned.
\nFrom our Playstation, lovers mooned.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Both moons glowed red from love’s bloodrush
\nuntil final climactic gush.
\nBodies cooled while still entwined
\nas brains and hearts formed ties that bind.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Thus gamers played on to their end;
\ncontrollers with great speed did send
\nsignals through their bodies’ wires
\nto raise then quench physical fires.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
