The Thread of Light Verse

High Art

Rarely does such linear thought
Allow for such nonlinear plot;
The four colors loosely gelling
Covertly engage in storytelling,
And while the ultimate aim
Is moralizing within the Frame
Pure fun is rarely wanting more.
An auteur should scarce ignore
Their perfect perception of The Page.
Comic Books are great at any age.

    high art indeed.

    as is your poetry.
  • Petey Campbell's handshake in a West of Ireland bar;
    a bogbrook posie butterfly, skyfiddling a reel;
    Dooley on the bodhran, Jamesey on guitar;
    West red upon the river. See now what the world can feel!

    "Honk if You're Horny" my bumper sticker reads.
    From the toots that salute me as I drive
    It seems there's more to life than just being alive.
    Even the safest driver has a modicum of needs.

    dont we all.
    I could say something really bad but...oh well...here goes....
    I was actually contemplating a one night stand the other night!
    Aren't i horrible!
    I came to my senses.
    That wouldve really dulled and bored me to death!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Frank the Undertaker loves his profession.
    Business ain't effected by the recession.
    Why, just today he buried a seven-footer.
    Although, he prefers to be called an Underputter;
    The dead only take him to confession.

    hmmm....I suppose it is....perhaps it doesn't belong here on the Light Verse thread....but the form that it's in almost requires it...i don't know...i apologize to any who don't consider it light verse...

    wow...we just smoked at the same time...I told you I was gonna smoke over on Young People (i think...or maybe on Solar...)....but anyway, a few questions now need asked:

    1. You're on disability?

    2. Where do you wait tables?

    3. (not a question but a response): Actually, I think I have it pretty good.

    4. Doesn't "Save You" rock? It played a large part in saving my life once, two or so years ago...

    5. What kind of smokes do you smoke?

    good questions...

    1. I'm very good at it.

    2. Newport Lights

    3. hmmmm...right now, I'd say Last Exit, although I've got about 6 or 7 that take the top spot from time to time.

    4. wow....I'd love to take a girl on a standard date to begin with...you know, dinner and a movie, and then follow it up with some Laser Tag, then some coffee, and then a midnight walk through the park.

    is that cheesy?

    how about you? favorite PJ song and dream date?

    light verse....

    pearls before swine

    preaching to the perverted is all well and fine
    but should only and always be done after nine
    and should never be done without skinfulls of wine....
    the perverted would never listen.....the swine

    (heheheheheheh.....:D)
    ....they're asking me to prove why I should be allowed to stay with my baby in Australia, because I'm mentally ill......and they think I should leave......

    upon reading "Short Men, Short Shrift: Are Drugs the Answer?" from The New York Times, by Natalie Angier

    Natalie says that I do less dating
    Than my better-endowed male counterparts.
    True, height does a lot of seperating
    Men from boys. But I, too, have broken hearts.
    She claims, also, that I make less money
    And do most of the drinking. Well, surprise!
    The FDA has a plan, a little funny,
    To medicate the short kids, so their eyes
    Can discern CEO's bellybuttons
    And maybe, one day, look svelte at the beach.
    I will just remain a compact glutton:
    Childhood, like al else, is out of reach.
