Tyler

is a cardboard box

with a

"this side up" arrow

pointing

both ways,

causing the opener of the box

to scratch her head and

wonder what that means.

Tyler is made

of the corrugated

kind

of

material that

doesn't bust

but it expands and contracts

weather permitting.

Tyler

is like a cardboard box

filled with fruit cake and molasses cookies

and oatmeal-raisin chocolate chip

with whole wheat flour

and gym socks.
