Elevate my pancake stuffing
Ask the butler for some yeast
It comes out, just needs some buffing
Mince around my private feast

Barefoot dances kill the system
Commutation by degree
Took a shot and barely missed him
Drinking Constant Comment tea

Turned his tubes into transistors
Plugged the worms into his ears
Men are nuns? We’ll call them Misters
Splashing in our tidal fears

and if the fife'll turn to patter
when the jar is open wide
we will run to tides aplenty
when we're on the other side

take the time to taste the tea
and read the words out loud
or you'll find you're in the stream
like dead ole Highlander Duncan MacLeod.

in the uplands by the berries
if you take the quill
one and two is four tonight
I just can't read the bill

and the drum will turn to butter
when you turn it on it's side
Shout and Tide will wait for no one
when your chicken isn't fried

Enough about the tea already
Constant Comment's just a brand
time to wake the coffee up
and leave a footprint in the sand

Light a match and curse it too
because it burns your finger
the darkness comes to those who wait
around too much and linger

I'm thinkin' Johnny probably thinks I missed this one.

Les, I appreciate the time you took to add a comment to the majority of what I wrote, I didn't expect you to comment on all of them.....I do like this one, even though it now looks like shit

Johnny, about 18 months ago when the website was down for a couple of months the owners changed. Aaron e-mailed me telling me that he and Rudy were no longer involved in running it.

The new owners obviously do not monitor the site. Hence, the problems you see arise. All I can tell the e-mule faithful is to copy any poems you don't have on your own database and get a hard copy for your personal files.

bump 'cause I miss Johnny's frequent posting of yore.

interesting that the previous formatting problems have corrected somehow...thanks Peter, I've been remiss in writing.....facebook is a mistress who demands a lot of time

I like the Lawrence quote, Johnny

Ahhh, yes Peter, where are all the new poets?

I miss ALL the rhyming poets, even J Sans.
