From A Haibun Odyssey
Atypically, Edgar Lee spoke up, “It’s about a man, trapped on an island with a Nymph,
trying to get home to his wife and son.” Looking over the rims of her glasses she hummed
a suspicious “Umgh-Humgh, have not heard that one before” Ruby replied.
“It gets better,” Edgar said. “Hope so - for his sake, the stuck on an island
with a Nymph shit is pretty thin” Ruby retorted.
The hitter digs in
catcher decides on a pitch
batter squares - Strike One.
Trying to recover Edgar explains, “He needs a boat but the God of The Sea is mad at him
because he poked his son's eye out with a stick.” Taking a long drag on her
Pall-Mall Ruby said “Ouch!”
“Now God can’t be everywhere at once.” Interrupting Edgar Ruby rejoined,
“So he needs to figure out where in the ocean God is?” “Yes Mam he does”
Stepping her Pall-Mall out, long, as usual, walking back out to the concession counter,
Ruby said “Well now! That could be as tricky as taking a whore to a prayer meeting.”

- Comment from author about the poem: Everybody seemed so sad yesterday thought a bit of humor would be appropriate. In this Haibun, Edgar is trying to explain to Ruby Homers Odyssey.
