Catalogue of Items Picked Up By My Boyfriend During His World of Warcraft Adventures

1. Shoveltusk Soup

Warms to the extremities.
To the very twitching fingers.
A product of the safari mentality,
it becomes a piano in the gut.
Plays show tunes that gurgle,
burp in a lower register.

Goes well with crusty bread.

2. Lesser Blessed Mittens

Have been blessed,but only casually.
Do not block fingers from January wind.
Smell like wet dog.
Have been coughed into twice.
Are misshapen in the thumb.
Disappointing, at best.

3. The Ultrasonic Screwdriver

Assembles, disassembles - but faster.
So that at the end of its turning
there is no memory of what was before.

Only
one perfect shelving unit
or ten shelves on the floor.
