Hilarious Things You Write When You Are Tired

"...Awakened by a thumping beet."

(Vegetables are so noisy this time of year.)

"Villains!" I shrieked, "dissemble no more! I admit the deed! --tear up the planks! here, here! --It is the beating of his hideous beet!"

-- Edgar Allan Poe, "The Tell-tale Beet"

"There, on the high plains of Antioch, stood the literary stylings of Thomas Hart, Benton on merciless homophonery."

Apologies to 'Gladiator', Thomas Hart Benton, America, and the readership at large. Need more coffee...

Oh, I'm sure the beet was just a little lonely and wanted some company.

At least it wasn't an asparagus. Them's nasty, no matter what time of day!
