Logic

"The poem's in the dice," I mumbled
     as I trudged across the waterfall.
"Popcorn is sinking as trees fall
     from the sky," He replied.
I felt like Magicking the alphabet down
     the drain, so I said, "Mudfish
     can't tell Wednesday from Yellow."
"Yeah," He argued. "Well, oregano's a pencil."
"Moria's ubiquity follows," I downplayed.
"Spider monkeys!" He interjected,
     sniggering in terror.
Suddenly a black hole appeared under
      our eyes and mashed us into prose.
