Ode To That Well Read Lady
by Philip F De Pinto
and her faithful pooch Okie
not to mention her faithful old man
and to all young or old or faithless
who are beside themselves
trying to digest the latest version of
Genesis in their beds
my sweet apocalyptic hostess
first and foremost:
don't attempt to read
but follow that man
and no other
for he be the man with the plan A
and plan B
and is your brother
the very ballsy man
who pilfered Beelzebub's ceiling fan
with one hand
and the four winds with the other
the man who is without blemish or sin
or would have been
had he not with a bop on the bean
did your favorite brother in
whose cry baby blood sobs vengeance
at the top rungs of its lungs - the man
who queried by God as to his whereabouts
could only think to mutter
how in the blazes should I know
if you don't?
who would have blown the torrid scene
with the assistance of the five
aforementioned absconded items
had he somewhere to plug them all in

| Posted by A. Paige White on 02/15/13 at 03:11 PM One of my favorite things about poetry is the double entendre, plan a and plan b... even in your title here. But sometimes you can just get tired of it and want plain speaking, because I walk more than two or even three planes. You are extremely intelligent. I'm always in awe. |
