Flim Flam Potion Sam

with audio by Jordon Hodges and Natalie Hodges

Flim-Flam Potion Sam:

“Good afternoon ma’am”

 

Madam Harriet Bell:

“What do you sell?

 

“Sunflower turnip seed mead,

Does whatever you need

 

With just one vial sold

Cure the common cold

You’ll never get old

Fix an ankle that’s rolled

Trust what you’re told

A billion customers polled

Underlined its name bold!”

 

“Your pardon I beg

How can a vial fix a leg?

What studies have you viewed?

Have they been peer reviewed?

A billion seems high

Sure that’s not a lie?

This smells like food dye”

 

Flim-Flam bowing low

with his bag in stow:

“Sorry, gotta go!”

The Cosmonaut

with audio by Jordon Hodges

Yuri the cosmonaut, lost out in space

Forgotten completely by the human race

 

Past the Big Dipper and all the known stars

Past supernovas and giant quasars

 

Past wondrous things scientists long to see

Past planet Gliese 581-C

 

Past Yuri Nebula and its bright yellow flame

Past everything else that he got to name

 

His odds of returning to Earth are so low

Who ever said that he wanted to though?
