[Douglas G. Brown]

A drunken spraypainter in a boatyard leaves no stern untoned.

A waist is a terrible thing to mind.

See no weevil, hear no weevil, spray no weevil.

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man lives a life of voyeuristic bliss.

Seldom does a teenaged daughter
Think her mother walks on water.

At the tavern called the Pedant’s Rest
You’ll find the campus pederast.

A woman uses what she’s got
To get what she possesses not.

Automotive tailpipe gas
Decimates the upper class.

When the sentencing judge gets a hardon,
The hooker can hope for a pardon.

The redneck girl surveys the city slickers;
And for a price, will gladly drop her knickers.

A poem should be palpable and numb,
And weighty as a crooked butcher’s thumb.

The Psalms of King Dave are solemn and grave;
But David’s a witty cuss compared to Leviticus.
