journal poem 47 – marco
Plywood windows
And Tyvek
It takes two semesters at a college to find out
An entire state is just too expensive
For a middle class person all by himself.
A great place to grow up
Just as great to retire in
But to make it? Oy!
Amway
Making the world safe for
Cleaning products
So they say an Avocado is 120 calories
And a grapefruit is 52.
Can a small bag of peanuts be about the same?
Strange parody: I compose words
To Django Reinhardt’s instrumental,
“Dapne.”
Here’s just a smidgeon:
Daphne, you do me wrong.
Daphne, oh daphne
I sing you this song
Because, well yes, because
you did me so badly,
I loved you so madly
But you slighted and spited and smote me so,
Maybe I’ll just sing along
Another
Some body named Daphne
Done me wrong song.
Does the phrase, “Hindsight is 20/20” hold up
If you’re nearsighted?
And Ashley Montagu will teach you how to curse.
Now I must ask, is Phemus famous or just well regarded?
Were you there when Red Auerbach told K.C. Jones,
“Think Yiddish, dress British.”
