Ode to Michael Jackson

A life
A face
A voice
A role
A rhyme
A race -

The Muzak
Of the Oversoul

In Search of An Editor

Seeking to charm
The editorial tyro
Is like trying to disarm
. . .

The Venus de Milo !!!

Ode to Twitter

This ode to Twitter
Is simple as can be
As the Jabberwock IM'd to Alice -
Tweetledum ...
Tweetledee ...

Ode to the Open Society

Why does it call itself open?
Its doors are rudely closed to me!
Methinks there's a Magister Deluded
Confusing "Open Society" with . . .

"Open Sesame"

Ode to the Beats

Those of literary substance pall
And look askance on what we wits think
Take Burroughs, Kerouac, Ginsberg and Vidal -
...
THE FOUR HOARSE MEN
OF THE APOCALIPSYNCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On Abstinence

A drink a day

. . .

. . .

Keeps the shrink away !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ode to the AIDS Hoax

Mares eat oats
And does eat oats
And little lambs
Eat HIV ...*
