Poetry

[pugetopolis]

Young Joe, while committing no crimes,
Lent a hand helping Tom ring his chimes,
What Tom then requested
Joe gagged on—detested—
At least the first twenty-five times.

—for Jbottle

The Wall Street “Y”s chock fulla fellas,
A melange of browns, pinks and yellas,
In the shower you’ll see
Every size and degree
Of buyas and tradas and sellas.

—DickVitalae

There once was a fellow named Morris,
Had a sex change and then he was Doris,
“Except,” said the twister,
“When squiffed, then I’m Sister
Imaculada Concepcion Dolores.”

—for Donotremove

Limericks do loosen up the poetic chops, don't they?

I Held a Corso Manuscript

—written in the NYC Library

My fingers trembled—like a junkie
As Corso reached out to me—from Death

O ancient Beatnik kiss of words—
From faraway gone Fifties fragile years

I could still smell the cigarette—
You were smoking way back then

The page breathing pure Pulp Fiction—
Long before Tarantino was born

What better evidence of you being—
Triumphant in your private telepathy?

Finding myself entangled once again—
Your Manhattan Bleecker Street blues

Bohemian poet full of penguin dust—
Rascal beat poet Villonesque Rimbaud

You were leaning against the Eiffel Tower—
Depressing Notre Dame gargoyles above

That’s the last time I saw you alive—
Dying on the cypressean page

The great posts at all hours, the flame wars, the memorable trolls, the love,the hate the shrugs and G.Jones, Wilsonsnookmawr, Galactababe, Mostbigger, Poet, Dooxy and many others posting somewhere out there on the net starting new flame wars wherever they go.”

Sound familiar, Maddy? Hmmmm?

Awwww, you remember me. Shucks. It was like college, wasn't it? And now we know who is following Saul Alinksy's rules for radicals, and who is not.

Ed Paschke, Four Se 1997

Four Se

Four ways—of not asking
Four ways—of mob rule
Four ways—of silence
Four ways—of don’t tell

Whoa!!! Talk about a flash of deja vu!!! Still got a kitty-kat hanging around?

Is the daughter liking art school?

[galactababe]

Loving it! She's a junior this year and will be traveling to Greece with the Dean's travel colloquium. The kid's got talent. Thanks for asking.

[Lhoffman]

Greece...what a wonderful opportunity!  So much good stuff going on these days for kids who are willing to work hard.

There's a blast from the past.Galactababe you ever hear from Gail Bush anymore.Last I saw of S Deb was on Chucks website some years ago before he pulled the plug.

[galactababe]

Hey Bosox,

Gail Bush. Hmmm, that name doesn't ring a bell. And I lost track of S Deb years ago. I've been busy with my own website going after a corrupt educational program called International Baccalaureate. Check it out, if you are so inclined: http://truthaboutib.com/

By the time you get where the second site and the responding posters come from, then the author of the first web-site's column is dubious as well; one shadows the other.

Anyone who still thinks Jerry Wright is a danger to society -- must have been part of the program to spin this in the first place: by editing his sermons for sale tapes and videos in the vestibule!

If these right wing Alinsky imitators really had a score-card and watched the play-backs, when they target Martin Luther King why don't they go straight to his advisor, the gay,Quaker educated, Bayard Rustin. But they can't, the blow-back is too hot for them.

[galactababe]

Perhaps I misunderstand whom you are referring to as "right wing Alinsky imitators". Would you clarify that for me? Thanks.

I can't recall Gail's tag but she was the girl who worked for USA Today at one time and she was living in the Los Angeles area when she was posting in the NYTimes forums.
