Ein Pome

I think that I shall never see | A G.O.P. who'll hug a tree

i like poetry best when garrison keillor reads it aloud

charles kurault was no slouch either

he could make a burma shave sign sound like bleedin' ozymandias

but mr kurault is dead now

and mr keillor is no spring chicken

so i can see the day coming when poetry will have no place in my life at all

my own brain does not read poetry nearly so well as they

i see only words incorrectly capitalized

and sentences without punctuation

and wonder where in hell the proofreader was when this thing got published

in consequence my own efforts at poetry are strictly pathetic

it would be nice one day to write something good enough

that mr keillor would read it aloud

but i don't hold my breath
