Love Spawns in the Hot Desert Sun

I was hiking through the Joshua Tree desert when I came upon a cactus couple. I love seeing couples. They remind me that there’s much more to life than brooding over problems in my mind.

I asked them how they met. The portly red cactus said that he was visiting the Mojave Desert in consideration of a move from the Trenton New Jersey Botanical Gardens, when he saw a, “Shaply sexy spiney Goddess” basking in the hot California sun. He said, “Oo-la-la-la-la!” The slender green cactus winked, preened her spikes, and it was all over.
