    Much harder today than yesterday; it’s not bad poetry — just “poetry.” Good luck/schmuck.

    I think that I will never write/ A poem as lovely as a kite. In a tree.

    Maybe he needs to stand beneath a poet tree.

    Upon the banks of the river Shannon,

    A poem was writ that’s now canon,

    of only five lines

    a pattern of rhymes,

    that gets dirtier as time goes on and on

    There was a young girl from Nantucket. Who carried things round in a bucket. Till one day they were gone, she started carrying on. Till her mother done told her Pawtucket

    Maybe your artsy-fartsy cap is too tight.

    You can’t drive to Poet’s Corner without a poetic license.

    I guess Rhyme doesn’t pay.

    Maybe he can’t rhyme, but he sure can whine!

    OK, here’s a poem I wrote on Sunday:

    While carrots can bolster the health of your eyes

    With a big dose of vitamin A,

    They won’t make your vision work better than normal:

    You can’t see by night as by day.

    So how was the rumor blown out of proportion?

    It flourished in World War II,

    When ministers claimed British pilots ate carrots

    So night raids were easy to do.

    Of course, this was mere propaganda; they meant

    To divert any German tactician.

    We’re not sure it worked, but the public was fooled

    Into buying the whole superstition.

    Many years ago I wrote a nonsense song in which included this verse:

    When I was young,

    I carried a gun,

    But then I shot off my foot.

    Since that’s been done,

    I don’t carry a gun,

    I carry my foot.

    What I do not understand is my friends actually love the song.

    Back in 1968 Mad Magazine did a takeoff on if famous poets had written nursery rhymes. One of them was if Joyce Kilmer had written Jack Spratt:

    “I think that I have never seen /

    A platter that was licked so clean /

    As that one licked with fork and knife /

    By Jack Spratt and his hungry wife /

    Betwixt the two they made a deal /

    Which puts an end to beef and veal /

    Lean is shunned by Mrs. Spratt /

    But only Jack can eat no fat.

    There was a young lady named Alice,

    Who used dynamite for a phallus.

    … never mind ….!

    ( that wind you felt is from the “GC arbiters of acceptable speech” exhaling )
