Funyuns Still Outselling Responsibilityuns
A Poetic Tribute to The Onion and My Favorite Childhood Snack
Funyuns still outselling responsibilityuns
So the headlines say
I doubt those reports are accurate
There's surely no way
That anyone with taste buds
Could ever think
That Funyuns are good
Because they really stink
Crispy and greasy
Salty too
Artificial flavors
Weird smelling poo
But even with all that
Funyuns I still love you
Better than Twinkies
Even more than French toast
Funyuns I love you
More than the most
Sugary cereal or salty snack
More than ice cream
Way more than crack
One part onion ring
Two parts of fun
One part strange color
And whatever the heck is a 'yun

AI Continues to Transform Our Lives Through the Transformative Power of Transformation
AI has transformed so many lives already. How could it possibly be any more transformative? Personally I have seen my own life completely transformed since AI was first was dumbed down and redefined to mean modern computing and not anything actually intelligent. My city’s traffic light system has never run more smoothly, and the elevators in the high rises downtown move people up and down with greater efficiency then ever before. The skies above our airports are full of planes calmly preparing for on time arrivals, instead of plunging to their dooms two hours late like back in the old days before AI. Plus my phone is smart and so is my house. It seems like everything is transformed beyond my wildest imagination. AI is the ultimate transformer. AI-bots, transform and roll out!

B. A. Durham’s False Memories blends dream and reality in a seamless mix. As his father, afflicted by Alzheimer’s, fades away, the narrator is haunted by a dream that may be a memory, returning to him insistently. The piece is full of wonderful detail (the father touching his lip where once there was a mustache, “but now he is clean-shaven—he has been for years” — and moving in revealing the complexities of a family’s life. A worthy winner which shows the power of dreams to influence us.
