The Report of My Death

A Literenga by Jeffrey L. Salter and Carlos Colon
9 February - 11 March 1998

Nose tickles but can't sneeze

Kleenex at the end of it a tiny ®

I'd keep Shania Twain and trade Mark

Riffling cards the riverbank gambler walks the plank

Fisn net snags pearl handle loaded derringer

Declaring her innocence a broad with blood on her hands

Judge interrupted can't complete sentence

30 seconds left a 'Hail Mary' from the head coach

Traveler galloping ghost

Dog tags buried with the wrong corpse
