"If an orca has gorged on salmon until it is satisfied, it may be choosing to store the leftovers on its head for later because the fish are too tiny and slippery to hold under their fins."
I got a bagel in my armpit
Spaghetti in the crotch
Pistol grip on sausages
Each lined with several notch
Egg scrambles down my toenail
I kick croissant to elbow
Tofu broils on breastplate
Toasted a la Melba
Well done my epicurian
The orca flips salmon atop his head
A trucker hat full of fats
Little fishy full of lead
A corn puff on my wrist
That's my diving watch
A rutabaga salad
Wrapped in egg rolls a potlatch
It safely travels with me
Frantic as I swim
Dodging oil tanker propellors
And washed up beach skull paraffins
"Melba toast is a dry, crisp and thinly sliced rusk, often served with soup and salad or topped with either melted cheese or pâté. It is named after Dame Nellie Melba, the stage name of Australian opera singer Helen Porter Mitchell. Its name is thought to date from 1897, when the singer was very ill and it became a staple of her diet"
"Mayo Clinic originated with the medical practice of William Worrall Mayo, M.D. (1819–1911).
Born near Manchester, England, he was mentored by the eminent British scientist John Dalton and immigrated to the United States in 1846.
He worked his way west, earning two medical degrees at a time when formal education for physicians was limited. Mayo settled in Indiana, and he married Louise Abigail Wright in 1851.They moved to Minnesota Territory in 1854,
seeking a more healthful climate.
The family relocated within Minnesota several times until Mayo's appointment as an examining surgeon for the Union Army military draft board during the American Civil War brought them to Rochester. On January 27, 1864, Mayo advertised in the Rochester City Post the opening of a private medical practice "over the Union Drug Store on Third Street" with "all calls answered by day or night".
"In 1925, the Mayo Brothers prescribed the "Eighteen Day Reducing Diet" to Ethel Barrymore. It included Melba toast, which made the toast very popular at the time."
