Reality Check by Dave Whamond for July 22, 2021

Poe-try

Oh, that Poe man.

You should get another quoth.

Poe: I have a cask of amontillado to show you.

He looks like John Lennon.

It looks like if Edgar Allen Poe was a 60’s Beatnik.

The mechanic’s name may be Raven.

Well, I has no money. So, how bout some priceless amontillado instead?

He’ll stomp off raven. Nevermore to be seen.

He should’ve gotten that extended warranty.

Watch out for the hidden swinging pendulum in the trunk! One swipe and it’s curtains!

The repair shop on Rue Morgue.

He calls his car Annabel Lee.

How about something more artsy from Eastern Europe? The YuGogh.

Let me show you my pit and pendulum room…

The repairs will be so expensive he’ll end up in the Poe house.

Welcome to Poe Auto Repair!!!

Well, join the ranks of the Poe folks! For the love of God, Montressor!

Yeah, it’ll cost ya … an arm and a leg …!

He’s just a Poe boy from a Poe family…

“But why would you say that I am mad?”

The mechanic’s shop is just across the street from the House of Usher and that crazy raven’s nest.

Hope he’s not too Poe to pay the bill.

He’s as busted as Pallas, he might as well get plastered.

When he gets the bill, he’ll ponder, weak and weary.
