ON EITHER MISUNDERSTANDING THE PILLAR SEES HOARSELY
ON EITHER MISUNDERSTANDING THE PILLAR SEES HOARSELY;
O wrestle a spice round him enormously!
Ignoring dreaded frogs of rust.
Did ascend: Yet more green would it not be
The frogman of 40 years ago
has rusted into history —
so it’s time to coat
a more current love interest
with
cinnamon
powdered sugar
and
garlic power
until
he
sneezes
non-stop
for
24 hours…
How’s THAT for putting the finishing touches on a poem about feeling amorous!?!
