Cryptic Triptych

by Mike Berger

Got an e-mail.
Asked if I would like to teach abroad.
Fascinated by the idea
wanted to know more
e-mailed back.
"What's her name,
and what does she look like?"

Recently retired.
I was a practicing psychologist
for 30 years.
Wanted a part time job.
Answered an ad for
a head mechanic.
Never got an answer back.

Asked to make a batch
of Kool-Aid.
I tried and failed.
I couldn't get 8 cups of water
in that little packet.
