Non-Exempt Mermaid Potato



I'm not so nice in your microwave.
I won't win Miss Congeniality there.
See, what I need is water, massive
amounts of salt and the occasional
purple magenta turquoise sunset
to remind me that there is something
in this vast sparkling world just as pretty
as my left nipple.
Stab me with your plastic fork.
Throw me at the Elvis tick tock on the wall
and see if I am done.
Do not wait for me to explode.
The last thing you need in your microwave
is a mess my size.
