An end of the year album from Barking Moose Music Productions. All lyrics by Ken Poyner. Produced by BMMP.

A collection of brief phantasmagorical tales. A professional cattle tuner who falls for a beautiful clothesline sander. . A member of the resistance warns his confederates of the efficacy of a new decimal collector. Genetically modified corn goes rogue. A man exhausts his quota of words and has to seek more on the black market. A superhero retires to a remote village, where he grows weary of being asked to find missing cattle. A generic android goes for a night's fling before he is to be customized the next day. Love in a firestorm. And more.

A man who worries he may not be capable of spurring his mermaid wife to conceive. A class of birds conflicted in their relationship with their kindred feathered overlords. A woman whose breasts suddenly abandon her. A man who confuses his wife with his girlfriend, when the two are delivered by the shipping company on the same day. A chicken who, even after partaking of the free snacks at the local bar, proves he is still no good at holding his alcohol. These and other bizarre stories comprise this collection of forty-two curious adventures by Ken Poyner.

Barking Moose Music Productions, All lyrics by Ken Poyner. Produced by TAMC.

Speculative poetry seen at first in places like "Poet Lore", "The Alaska Quarterly Review", "The Iowa Review" and others. Poems dealing with the evidence of the surreal in life, depicting characters both ennobled and debased by the physics surrounding them. A man holds the last dinosaur in his basement. Armageddon as conducted from the roof of a farm house. Preparing to defend the house from Santa Claus. A woman who appeases dragons. The parking lot attendant at a time portal. The sole elevator in a building opening on a fantastical landscape.
