the claws game

if youve ever watched toy story (part where the evil kid is in arcade and won woody and buzz from the machine) u shud (hopefully unless ive done a bad job of it) get it

Clink, clink, clink, plop

The coins slide intot he machine

Like a klutz or jester slides into his chair

The menacing claw comes alive

It moves back and forth

back and forth

over the little toys

as if it were possesed by demons.

In fact it is possesd

but not by demons

no this claw

is possesd by the manipulators of the arcade

 

Which one

Which one

 The manipulator has difficutly deciding

its next victim

 

Ohhhhh pick me!

pick me!

all the naive little toys proclaim

as they stretch there mangled plastic bodies towards the possesd claw

 

SNAP

the claw choses one, its "lucky" winner.

the toy, ecstatic is swining in the suffocating grasp,
closer

closer

a little to the right

almost there and...

Whoops

The claw has enough of the manipulators game

Plop the toy goes back into warm folds of its little freinds arms

dissapointed as hell

and unaware of the manipulators dissapointment

at being thraweted
