Max Nix: Poems QUOTES

1 " Get it right people!
Tuna casserole takes cream of mushroom soup.
Tuna SALAD takes mayo or Miracle Whip.

And while we're at it,
tuna salad has celery,
NOT peas.
If you HAVE to use peas,
use a bag of frozen peas.
Canned peas are for tuna casserole,
not tuna salad. "

― Ted Mallory , Max Nix: Poems

2 " Pardon me
if I wear my brain
on the
OUTSIDE
of my head

It's just so sunny out,
but not too sunny,
not so sunny that it should get burnt,
just sunny enough to
take in some Vitamin D,
and to warm up
and not feel quite so clammy
or boxed-up "

― Ted Mallory , Max Nix: Poems

3 " You don't think
I'll be arrested
if I wear my brain
on the
OUTSIDE
of my head? "

― Ted Mallory , Max Nix: Poems

4 " Like a ravenous dog
a lumbering, slobbering Mastiff or St. Bernard,
sloping up raw hamburger and eggs from its dish
on the floor in the corner of the family kitchen
licking and slurping and lapping
wanting more, always more

Some greasy Hemingway
Some grainy Steinbeck

Savory salad with lots of garlic,
that's Vonnegut "

― Ted Mallory , Max Nix: Poems
