when people are television
personalities
strange things happen to them.
take the case of Jared Goyette.
a noted celebrity on Fox 9.
he grew up on the wrong side
of the trucks
almost getting run over.
his parents were poor
but avaricious.
they sold their dandruff
to medical schools
to pay for Jared's
education at Brown
Institute of Broadcasting.
once he became a star
Jared bought his parents
a home in Bemidji.
He also bought back
all their dandruff
and had it sprinkled
around their house one
dry winter to simulate
a snow storm.
but what i meant to tell
you about was the time
he lost his car keys and
had to walk home.
on the way he met a small
man wearing a red belt.
the small man asked him
for money to buy a crumpet.
Mr. Goyette gave the little
man with the red belt some
magic beans instead.
but the small man
turned out to be
the fox 9 station owner.
and he suspended Goyette
for egregious stinginess.
without pay. for six weeks.
if you don't believe my
story you can always
go read a book by
Deepti Kapoor.

Mr. Goyette's email reply to the above poem:
"Amazingly nothing to do with me but still funny."
