comment from Horowitz

"Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary happened last night." Horowitz read from a prepared statement outside the bakery this morning. "And you can quote me on that."

Question: "Where are baby Trudy and baby Judith right now?"

Horowitz: "Judith is probably in the parlor with nurse Elise having some quiet time and Trudy is in the bathroom - I am not at liberty to disclose any more detail than that at this point."

Question: "If nothing out of the ordinary happened last night, then why were there at last count, 3002 spent water balloons found throughout Babyland this morning?"

Horowitz: "I am not aware of there being that many."
Speaking over calls for more details, Horowitz responded "That's all the time we have for questions at this point. Thank you all for coming."

Baby Trudy would not confirm or deny a part in the water balloon incident but did indicate through clever facial expressions that it was the other babies' fault, and then referred us to her attorney, Horowitz. Baby Judith could not be reached for comment. Nurse Elise requested that we contact her tomorrow after she has some time to compose herself. Sources say that she was seen heading home to have a bath and a cup of tea.
We will keep you apprised of any new developments in this story.

There is a clear path
Protein, veggies and a fruit
leading to good health.

Obsession steps in,
"Fried dough will end my sadness!"
Yet this makes no sense.

"Or pizza perhaps!"
like the Xanax elusive
dream of sedation...

I find my self stuck
in brambles and shrubbery
that line the clear path

I wonder, does God
have a hard time not yelling
at people like me?
