That caterwauling out and out
With paradoxes every shout
How nectarines and Irishmen
Are both after the ladies

With Xenophon lamentable
His dulcimers untenable
And then I said that Charo was
The ferryman to Hades

I thought Charo wuz a Spanish guitar player who usually was sota goofy, an' a bit on the oversexed side.

Ilove wit wit my poetics. I love Irishman because I am. I love metered iambics when applied and exercised with craft. Gee, I got all three in one superlative
read so a great big thank you and a well done poet are most assuredly in order. Great writing JohnnyBoy. tom

Thanks Tom

I should dig up that old villian-L I wrote a while back to see what you think of it.

I fabricate contrivances of steel
I cannot tell the charming from the chimes
imagination synchronized to heal

Can’t tell by looking so I go by feel
And feeling numb I must resort to rhymes
I fabricate contrivances of steel.

So if it’s solid then it must be real
I think it is, at least at certain times
imagination synchronized to heal

A molten metal I must now anneal
in order to protect me from the crimes
I fabricate contrivances of steel.

I guess I’ll download something like a meal
I’m clad in gilded former silver dimes
imagination synchronized to heal

So thankful I have knees so I can kneel
and pray that I should never hear the mimes
I fabricate contrivances of steel.
imagination synchronized to heal

Extravagance and duct tape spoil the view
Servility is watered by the rain
Spontaneous, the pain remains in you

Acceptance of sensations that I knew
but never thought that they would still remain
Extravagance and duct tape spoil the view

A counteroffer must be overdue
but if it came I surely would complain
Spontaneous, the pain remains in you

Penultimately I suppose it’s true
Though not a thought I like to entertain
Extravagance and duct tape spoil the view.

A typo, now The Taming of the Screw
a theatre in the round and down the drain
Spontaneous, the pain remains in you

And in the end, the jauntiest debut
will wash away but still there is a a stain
Extravagance and duct tape spoil the view
Spontaneous, the pain remains in you
