DOLLS
Designer of mushy Nickelodeon carrot cake stage
has dandruff-dolls in his hair
They’ve set up oil rigs on his scalp
to drill for creativity
When geyser erupts
they catch designer’s ideas in buckets
Then rappel down ropes of his greasy hair
onto floor where dust-trains
transport them to designer’s colleague
A man whose only accomplishment
is a lawsuit-attracting lemon slide
The dandruff-dolls hand over buckets to him
Within them
he singles out striking concept for crunchy Nickelodeon blueberry pie ramp
While trying to consummate this idea
he fails numerous times
since the main ingredient that is sorely missing
is Heart
