Ode to the Mystery Lot


An inspired (and anonymous) reader sent this along...

O Mystery Lot!

Home to dead bodies
But also morning glories

Used by some as a dumpster
But also bore a fabulous monster

Full of contradiction
Don't let us lose you to construction!

Think you can do better? We'd like to hear it. Or at least read it. In the comments... or via gmail...

    Mystery lots and Tater Tots,
    And days of wine and roses.
    EV Grieve, this makes me heave,
    We’ve all got runny noses.

    ET please, phone home.

    "There once was a man from Nantucket whose Mystery Lot was so long he could..."

    This calls for a haiku:

    Your days are numbered
    we are losing mystery
    gentrification

    To the tune of Like A Prayer, by Madonna:

    The Lot is a mystery
    The Monster must stand alone
    I hear you call my name
    And it feels like home

    Ode to the Ode to the Mystery Lot

    Flawless meter and
    rhyme
    sublime

    Subliminal
    criminal
    indict, in spite
    aimed at maimed
    mystery's genius.

    O lift us.
