Pride of Pillowcase   Leave a comment

Following the advice of the early

Somnambulists, I scooted to the store

To buy groceries and venom, while Hurley

And Governor Lynch regarded the door.

Samples of aerodisiacs swam through

The Air, like Temple Ionics in Spring,

Or the Boss Porous Estate, made anew,

During the Pride of Rebellion, in Ming.

Adroitly, I pillowcased the Pony

I had borrowed that morning from Oskar.

He owed me for the time he was stony

(And I drove him to Winslet in Bob’s car).

  When Bread Heyliger became Manager,

  Tosca laymen withheld the dowager.

FBI leaders are exemplary

Department skills are functional for men

Of Mice and Fear in the contemporary

Justice, which is vindictive, very mean.

 

Michael was a good friend, sure he was forced;

Feinberg is his name and he was pushed to

Resignation as a function of worst

Letters sent to Abraham from Jesu.

 

Made a mountain of a more hail fancy

By a stupid President, his Project.

Bongino bastard, beyond buoyancy—

Eroded and corroded intellect.

 

  Awarding the most corrupt with Prizes:

  Personality tests and surprises.

Touching, what thoughts   Leave a comment

Tell my ma to take the first instruction,

By Frank from Cork: You’ll be educated

As teaching scholars’ quotes reach reduction

Through Opera Chamber Music created.

Arthur Nussbaum provides the illusion

That issues as diverse as goldfinches

Confront the Natural Heir of Tucson.

Understandably, Joyce’s atmosphere clinches

What over the years has become standard:

When you read the thoughts of Bolly the Moon,

Please read it alous, like an old Grand Bard;

Say to Gus, thank you, and with Molly Bloom

Share your insights and your love– your passion–

For Joyce notebooks last longer than fasion.

Pride of Pillowcase

Following the advice of the early

Somnambulists, I scooted to the store

To buy groceries and venom,, while Hurley

And Governor Lynch regarded the door.

Samples of aerodisiacs swam through

The Air, like Temple Ionics in Spring,

Or the Boss Porous Estate, made anew,

During the Pride of Rebellion, in Ming.

Adroitly, I pillowcased the Pony

I had borrowed that morning from Oskar;

He owed me for the time he was stony

(And I drove him to Winslet in Bob’s car).

When Bread Helliger became Manager,

Tosca laymen withheld the dowager.

Meeting Hiram Bingingham   1 comment

Meeting Hiram Binginham

Hiram Bingingham plausibly denied

Meeting Jerry Seinfeld on a subway.

Mortified Norman Mailer once replied

To a text from Twyla Tharp: the rub way.

In Vegas, Frank Sinatra is singing

To the wax Barack Obama statue.

And it’s A. J. Liebling who is bringing

His good friend Danny Pilsener, his “plus two”.

Meanwhile, Kevin Naughton exercises

With friend Arlene Croce, stirring passion

In Billy Joel, who this time surprises

Mikhail Baryshnikov with High Fashion.

  Old Bartleby is a scribbler, like me.

  Rusty Miller is a dancer, so free.
