Mischa’s Dream

Mischa always dreamed

of being rescued

by angry peasants

wielding torches.

But Mischa never

accepted dinner

invitations from

the mad scientists

in her life when they

became obsessed by

her sexy shoulders

or the way she tossed

macadamia

nuts to squirrels at lunch.

You can’t be rescued

from a dark castle

if you never go

to a dark castle.
