I have a videotape in which Dick gives me permission to post this . . .

A Fit of Free Verse Against Free Verse

Difficult to put down
How intensely I dislike it

Talk about
The expense of spirit
In a waste of shame

Its unmannerliness
Its smug arbitrariness
Its parasitic living off its betters

Like an indolent teenager
Lolling about the house
Mired in his moods and thinking they matter

Shape up, you graceless
Ungrateful little punk!

Or at least
Get off my sofa
And out of my life . . .
SHOO!!!

[Tom Jardine]

My favorite is;

"The dinner is on the table."
