The Loony Lampoonist

Shedded She


"I feel like toilet paper."

I handed her a roll.

"No, I didn't say I needed toilet paper. I said I felt like toilet paper."

I touched her skin. "Doesn't feel like paper."

"I didn't mean it in the literal sense. It was a metaphor."

I wondered why one would use toilet related metaphors.

"I feel like used toilet paper", she continued, "I feel used like toilet paper."

I understood. "Dumped again?"

She nodded.

I sighed. She crossed the river of life leapfrogging from one relationship to another. 

"Who was it this time?"

"Marcus."

"Malevolent Marcus?"

She nodded.

"Must you shed men from your life like snakeskin?"

"It is I who has been shed."

"Well, must you get shed from the lives of your men so?"

She looked away.

"Will you ever shed me?"

"I don't think I ever can", I replied.

She smiled. "I have been your second skin all your life."

I nodded.

"And now you can't live without this skin that makes you complete."

I nodded again.

"And I don't think I can survive another shedding."

I looked up. There was sadness in her eyes. 

"Are you sayin-"

"Yes."

My eyes lit up with joy. We were one again.

About This Blog

The Loony Lampoonist serves to parody, spoof and satirize everything that needs to be parodied, spoofed and satirized. Due to the fictional nature of this electronic journal, any anecdotes appearing here ever so often that seem to be personal in nature, would suffer from the effects of conflicting personalities, the creation of fictional events and the inclusion of non existent characters who did not make it to the big league in the author's literary works. Thus, the Loony Lampoonist is also a purgatory for characters and ideas that have missed the limelight.
