This file is dedicated to the late Jim Henson, a man who always managed to
|
||
|
|
entertain both children and adults. He was best known as the creator of the
|
||
|
|
Muppets (R) and Sesame Street (R) and for giving life to such characters as
|
||
|
|
Kermit the Frog (R), Rowlf (R), Waldorf (R), Dr. Teeth (R) and Ernie (R).
|
||
|
|
Jim died on the morning of Wednesday, May 16, 1990 of a severe infection due to
|
||
|
|
an overlooked case of pneumonia. Thanks for all the laughs, Jim....

|
|
He creeps down the hallway
|
||
|
|
Monobrow
|
||
|
|
Head like pineapple
|
||
|
|
Mind chock full o' vengeance
|
||
|
|
Body of foam
|
||
|
|
He lurks
|
||
|
|
and lurks
|
||
|
|
and lurks
|
||
|
|
Dew forms 'tween his turtleneck and skin
|
||
|
|
He clenches two fists of animosity
|
||
|
|
He arrives at the door - a murderous courier
|
||
|
|
and mutters to himself
|
||
|
|
"This is it.
|
||
|
|
I have to do it."
|
||
|
|
With
|
||
|
|
a
|
||
|
|
slow
|
||
|
|
sweep
|
||
|
|
His foot pushes the door
|
||
|
|
gently ajar
|
||
|
|
The soft hallway light frolics
|
||
|
|
across the face of his prey
|
||
|
|
The delicate orange sponge
|
||
|
|
covered only by a sheet
|
||
|
|
Innocence
|
||
|
|
The prowler contemplates
|
||
|
|
and conceives
|
||
|
|
a multitude of homicidal acts
|
||
|
|
in his already damaged brain
|
||
|
|
"How can I lynch this criminal?
|
||
|
|
I could play butcher and then play doctor
|
||
|
|
Heh
|
||
|
|
Heh
|
||
|
|
Heh
|
||
|
|
I could just knife 'im a few hundred times
|
||
|
|
Poison, nah...
|
||
|
|
I'll choke him
|
||
|
|
No
|
||
|
|
Suffocation
|
||
|
|
Asphyxiation
|
||
|
|
I'll cut his damn head off
|
||
|
|
Crucify him
|
||
|
|
Crucify him for HIS sins
|
||
|
|
Electrocution. Quick. Painless.
|
||
|
|
Wait, I want the sucker to feel it.
|
||
|
|
I could burn the son of a bitch
|
||
|
|
Set his goddamned bed ablaze
|
||
|
|
Make him suffer
|
||
|
|
Suffer
|
||
|
|
Colombian necktie
|
||
|
|
I'll ring tears from his plastic eyes
|
||
|
|
Never sorry before
|
||
|
|
You'll be sorry now."
|
||
|
|
The nightstalker freezes
|
||
|
|
Orange eyelids expose unconscious eyes
|
||
|
|
Blurr blurr
|
||
|
|
Coned silhouette in doorway
|
||
|
|
The sleeper asks,
|
||
|
|
"Who is it?
|
||
|
|
' Somebody there?"
|
||
|
|
A violent leap
|
||
|
|
Yellow meets orange in a clash
|
||
|
|
The life-burglar darts atop the sleeper
|
||
|
|
pinning him to the warm bed
|
||
|
|
Yellow foam hands squeeze into fists
|
||
|
|
"Bert, what are you doing?!
|
||
|
|
Are you crazy?!"
|
||
|
|
The hammers are raised
|
||
|
|
The killer reminisces his motives
|
||
|
|
"This is for everything you've ever done to me!"
|
||
|
|
POUND
|
||
|
|
"This is for the time you filled our apartment up with water
|
||
|
|
because you left the bath running!"
|
||
|
|
STRIKE
|
||
|
|
"Remember my purple hand?
|
||
|
|
Here's one for that!"
|
||
|
|
BEAT
|
||
|
|
"Remember when you played tag with an involuntary me?!
|
||
|
|
Now you're it!"
|
||
|
|
WACK
|
||
|
|
"You're it!"
|
||
|
|
THWACK
|
||
|
|
"And this one's for Rubber-Ducky!"
|
||
|
|
SMACK
|
||
|
|
"I hate you!
|
||
|
|
I hate you!
|
||
|
|
I hate you!
|
||
|
|
I hate you!"
|
||
|
|
Endless streak of death blows
|
||
|
|
Pulverization
|
||
|
|
Arms at work like piledrivers
|
||
|
|
Drive drive drive
|
||
|
|
Fists like anvils
|
||
|
|
Sponge to styrofoam noodles
|
||
|
|
Final blow
|
||
|
|
"I'm sorry (sob).
|
||
|
|
I had no idea (sob sob)."
|
||
|
|
"It's too damn late for apologies."
|
||
|
|
"Please
|
||
|
|
(gasp)
|
||
|
|
stop this.
|
||
|
|
I'll never bother you again."
|
||
|
|
Yellow digs deep into a polyester pocket
|
||
|
|
Paper clips surface
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A
|
||
|
|
wild
|
||
|
|
chain
|
||
|
|
of
|
||
|
|
paper-
|
||
|
|
clips
|
||
|
|
"What? Your paper clip collection?"
|
||
|
|
Like lightning
|
||
|
|
The paper clips are yanked around the helpless puppet's neck
|
||
|
|
Gasps for breath
|
||
|
|
Choke choke choke
|
||
|
|
The wire digs holes in the orange neck
|
||
|
|
"I
|
||
|
|
can't
|
||
|
|
breathe."
|
||
|
|
Convulsion
|
||
|
|
Sudden peace
|
||
|
|
The body ends its hopeless struggle
|
||
|
|
The courier climbs down from the corpse
|
||
|
|
and watches
|
||
|
|
and watches
|
||
|
|
and watches
|
||
|
|
An open window
|
||
|
|
The sounds of a restless city rush in
|
||
|
|
with a flock of city birds
|
||
|
|
"My pigeons,
|
||
|
|
My beautiful pigeons.
|
||
|
|
You hate him as much as I do.
|
||
|
|
He's all yours."

Slamming car doors
