Disclaimer

This blog ran for more than two years with no graphics--and it received about 50 page views. I was advised to add graphics; after seeing the huge public that followed blogs dedicated to homoerotic images, I decided to use that kind. The result was a dramatically increased number of monthly page views, and the number has remained fairly steady. Most of the images were found on the internet; although they are assumed to be in the public domain, they are identified as far as possible. They are exhibited under the “Fair Use” protections of United States copyright law: their function is simply to attract readers to the poems--I receive no economic benefit from them or from the blog. Nevertheless, they will be removed if they are copyrighted and the owner so desires. 1260 x 290

THE BEST OF IT IS NOT RAP


       Okay . . . so why are your lines 
       trés wry and fey?  Trying
       to keep up, we’re like
       kids riding rodeo
       sheep.  A buck and a kick
       do the trick, and we’re
       flying, right into deep
       sheep slick.  So why 
       don’t you just say  
       why, okay, Ryan?

The poem is a jocular parody of the style of Kay Ryan.
