No A, B, C, D, E, F, or G

Lily Houston pouts hourly (it’s noon now). “I quit, I quit, I quit.” Simply put, Lily is quirky, unhip, shrill, whiny, spouts vitriol, pops zits, is mousy not joyous, knits wool quilts — oh, Lily sports unworthy wit, too.

“Ok, so work is lousy, hush up will you, you skinny nitwit?” insults Lily’s sis, who thinks Lily’s wit is thin, too.

“Stop it Jill, your slurs hurt,” Lily howls. “I spot no honor in this hijinks; it is not humorous.” Lily runs out.

No point to it: Jill still looms. “Sorry not sorry. It’s not my philosophy minor you moron, yowl to your shrink.”

This month (July), Jill spits tip-top quips nonstop. To wit, Jill’s mouth pours out irony, humor, pithy puns.

Lily’s wish is to slit Jill’s torso until it’s split into two. “I’ll skip town, plop Jill’s trunk, in hunks, into my knit kilt. Out with this junk!”

To kill, or not to kill? — no, I nix this pithy quiz. Why this ill will? I’ll spill it: Jill’s monstrous soul shows us how hot milk turns sour.

Now I sit still. I hymn my holy trinity: jujitsu to whoop rumps (low hits); luxury liquors to lull my spirits (mojitos); ink on my wrist (tiny lotus to know my philosophy).

Oh, how I’ll rot upon this knoll with my promissory vow to polish out Jill’s impurity. This is my wish list:

1) Summon my pithy soliloquy.
2) Spoon it to your whiny kin’s mouths (think: hummus).

I trust you will hop to it soon.

Anyhow, speaking of hopping to it. Michael
