Inchcock’s Hillarious Dream, In Ode!

With an old girlfriend, Ivy, we were necking in a twin-kayak,

In the University grounds pond, and Ivy gave me a whack!

Being a Gentleman, I didn’t hit her back,

I asked her, why the heck did you attack?

Did you put this in my pocket? (It was a stickleback),

I said, let’s heat it up and have a snack?

Ivy shouted, ‘No, put it back!’

This spaceship came down, as I was tickling a pollack,

Next moment I was in a prison cell? Oh, Gack!

To reality, I could not get back,

Befriended a rat, I called him Mack,

No one about, no food, what’s the crack?

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

A voice from nowhere, “Do not get exacerbated!”

You will be investigated and accommodated,

We mean no harm, but stupidity must be eradicated.

With that, my brain was confuscated!

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Back to the cell and Mack, for a little while,

I was not sad, but I’d forgotten how to smile!

An alien brought me a cup of tea, camomile,

One said in perfect English, “You seem very vibratile?”

I thought to myself, does he mean versatile?

He called me names, and got very scurrile,

He walloped me and threw me on the shagpile,

The other said I was infantile and unfertile…

We’ll do an autopsy on you in a while!

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

“He’s got damage in here that’s been repaired?”

“His vision and hearing are impaired…”

“Yet, he doesn’t seem in the slightest bit scared?”

“Scarred, yes. Just grabbed his todger, and he’s not angered?”

“His brain functions, and thoughts seem so scattered?”

“See the stomach? It seems blocked and matted?”

“He lies there as if it, nothing mattered?”

“Well, I’m really bewildered…”

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Best take him back, put him in the vestibule…

“Gawd!” “Just look at his minuscule mating tool”!

“His brain tells me he’s missed a lot of school…”

“I wouldn’t bother mate”, I screamed, “it’s a dream, you fool!

  1. Doug Thomas – Alliance, NE – I retired from nearly 36 years in a factory that produces hydraulic and industrial hoses. That is the short of it. The most interesting thing I've done is serve in the US Army as a motion picture photographer. I was stationed in then-West Germany in Kaiserslautern, Kleber Kaserne, in the 69th Signal Company (Photo). I was sent all over western Europe filming military exercises and other less interesting things. This enabled me to become a "bier kenner", someone knowledgeable about beer. Haw! I was much younger then, and could handle the wear and tear. The most interesting thing that happened to me happened in 1980, the first day of the new year: I spotted a rara avis in my backyard. A phainopepla, a member of the silky flycatcher family! It stayed around for two months, long enough for me to photograph it through a garage window not more than 2m from a birdbath to which it came each day. The photos, sent to the state ornithological organization and their rare bird report committee, established me as the first and only person to have seen this particular bird in my state. Records for my state go back to Lewis and Clarke's western expedition, so that gives you the context and perspective through which other birders view my record. You should too! It was a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence. It lead to a decade of uninterrupted bliss, tracking down birds in the field with other people of a feather. The worst thing that happened to me is called Wegener's granulomatosis. Oh dear! This is where it becomes difficult! WG is a form of vasculitis that you have for life once it develops. It has no known cause, though scientists work as I write to try to determine why it occurs. My story is long and I am tired: More details later! It is a fatal disease without proper care. With proper care, people still can die! One last detail: a weggie (pronounced "wegg-ee"), is a person with Wegener's granulomatosis. It is an Australian construction, to the best of my knowledge, and suits me better than being known in perpetuity as a "WG patient". In 2016, a Wegener's flare mostly wiped out what kidney function I still had, and I went through a two month process of hospitalization and rehabilitation before I could return home to my two cats, Andy and Dougy. My neighbors across the lane took care of them while i was gone, with a childhood friend who substituted for my neighbors when they had to be out of town. The major change brought about by the flare: I now am on dialysis three times a week. Fortunately for me, my local general hospital has a very modern, well staffed dialysis unit. With a nurse-to-patient ratio of nearly one-one, it is the best of five dialysis sites I've been in. The recliners are even heated! Since these units are typically kept ice berg cold, you can see I feel like I am in heaven! (Well, not yet, but you get the idea!)

    Lovely poem today! LOL! I enjoyed the word play and the graphic autopsy segment. Damn those aliens!

    Inchcock says:

    Glad you liked it, Doug, thanks for letting me know, mate.
    I really did think it was really happening at first… then while still in the dream, I sort of realised it couldn’t be so… Hehehe!
    Never done that before, after waking yes. TTFN, a bit of fuss for Andy, please.

  3. Lilly – Fort Thomas KY USA – I'm a published poet and essayist on women's lit, southern women's writers and have been a contributor to Know Theater Tribe original dramatic productions of evocative prose poetry. I also enjoy building, water color and acrylic. My work background has been from exec. secry to university fellow TA; advising;and consummate entertainment maven during a dream job as home maker! I traveled a great bit to and from my home state of CA and enjoy kayaking on the harbor and horseback riding. I love nothing better than an espresso and good music with a driving electric guitar! Ciao! (I'm also Italian and hot blooded!) This was written before cancer and the lock down! Now things feel quite different. I'm still me - kind of locked down with my two male family members! I will talk about both of them regularly and both are amazing people sharing the same DNA! I'm the "other" who slipped in and stayed for nearly 30 years when I planned on two! My life until I joined my family seemed both alarming and intriguing to so many people, I have been encouraged to write about the events that both formed, challenged and enhanced my state of being. Your kind attention is appreciated.

    My Darling YOU are one crazy man! I found Bilium to be similar and chose him for my mate. Loved it! I loved the picture you made! That was so good!

      Thank you, Lisa, my sweetness.
      We’ve a lot in common. Billum and I.
      The Attendance Allowance Application Form arrived today, and I signed it and returned it. I am really hoping that some financial relief will be coming my way, to help pay for the carers. But, I’m not getting too hopeful.
      Please mention to Bill for me; that Herbert is driving me mad at the moment. Haha!
      ♥ Keep safe

      Cheers, Sir.
      I wish I could have found a graphic of them being square headed, as they were in the dream, to use. Hehe!

        I’ve never seen a square headed alien. You probably could have found a square headed robot to substitute for an alien.

        Ah, that could be it, Tim!
        Not that I’ve seen a lot of them. like… Haha!

  5. Bill Ziegler – Cincinnati Metropolitan Area – I am a former resident of Delhi Township. These are memories of my life and times in that community during the 1950s and 1960s. A time capsule.
    Bill Ziegler says:

    That was a marvelous, enthralling, engaging, and totally believable account of a dreamscape. Of course, I had no idea that it was not an actual account until the final lines. If I am ever again abducted by aliens, I shall ask them about the bodily inch that they seemed so interested in. I would seriously doubt that their mating members are any larger, likely a millimeter or less is what I would imagine. Aliens are known to wipe the memories of their invitees before returning them to their respective c1968 odd-colored recliners. The crumbs yer encounter of a morning are likely of alien manufacture, what else could they possibly be? Many abductees enjoy a meal or two presented by the aliens who abduct them, a sign of common courtesy it appears. I have been unable to find Wagon Wheels in any supermarket, this is irrefutable proof that those wheels are of extra-Tertullian manufacture. The very shape of those WW treats are carefully-constructed miniature reproductions of their flying saucers. Could there ever be a doubt? I doubt it, of course. If I remember it by Monday, I shall request an ambassadorship from Joe Biden to an alien starship, where my investigations into their nature, manner, and ways might prove productive. These matters are important, I am glad you spent a fine night with those curious creatures, Sir!

      Well, Billum, thank you for that clever, wonderful commenting, which was cleverly wrote, had me laughing to it, and took my mind off of the current (almost none-stop) Herberting. A Triple winner, Sir!
      Loved hoe you linked in the WW.
      I Fank You!
