One Too Many Cases and a Thousand Miles Away

Always we approached with apprehension
The case called “genitive” and its declension.

Connecticut Hobo
The women had grown used to him, though when
The cops came, they had a Warrant from Darien.

Hard Rain
Not, as Athenaeus reports, fish dropping from the sky,
But worse, a killing rain that tells us, "Deacidify."

The Arts of Parts

Today we have naming of parts. Yesterday,
we had the WMDs as parts of a play.

My Thinned Duchess

That’s my last Duchess painted on the wall:
My pulping her to paint has made her tall.

The Perfect Disguise

I wandered lonely as a cloud,
then passed my water on a crowd.

Obedient To Their Creed

Go tell the Spartans, passer-by,
Greek salad, coffee, apple pie.

O how much more doth beauty beauteous seem
after a couple tumblers of Jim Beam.


Take all my loves, my love, yea take them all,
and smush them up in one big meaty ball.


Sin of self-love possesseth all mine eye,
...oh, nevermind.

Oh Frabjous Yum

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
spattered and popped on tulgey stoves.

You people aught to be ashamed of yourselves!

Anyone can draw a mustache on the Mona Lisa or superimpose a Pepsi can in the hands of The Thinker by Rodin. Cartoonish and banal and crass thinking only robs you the time to produce something worthy.

On second thought, keep it up.

Am I party pooper, or what?

can free versers get in?
Breaking the couplet addiction!!!
ee cummings, of course

if i believe
in death be sure
of this
it is

because you have shoved me,
cliff and air
rocks and foam
black crescendo and blue muting

OR
Nothing Gold Can Stay, Hip Hop version

Rappers turn green to gold
A heavy hue to hold

BUT alas, with apology, I can not help but continue...

When chains become a tower
That represents their power
Then grief subsides to grief
And poor JayZ has no relief
As taxes he must pay
Nothing gold can stay

The Baby-Boomers Approach Retirement

They are not long, the days of wine and roses:
Too soon, the days of laxatives and support hoses.
