12. The Red Head Box

In the morning I say to myself, "I have a red box that I'm not using, maybe I'll put the box around my Renaissance head instead of the wire."

I work all day and late into the night taking off all of the wire and enlarging and custom-fitting the box to the head. When I've completed the job, to my amazement, the red box begins to grow extremities. They grow very long and begin to wiggle about. They remind me of a TV commercial I once saw for Kinetic Kitchen spaghetti. I ask myself, "What have I created?!"

Then I go to the refrigerator. There isn't any pizza or beer - or spaghetti. I settle for a sardine sandwich.
