Journal Poem 10


Panamania Just Cause
President says, "Operation."
Why? "Just 'cause."

New Years '90 my horoscope says
I gotta make more long distance
Calls. I wonder how much THEY 
Owe on THEIR telephony bill?

Old man on a penny farthing bicycle 
Rides to work in a business suit
Strokes waxed handlebar mustache
Before waving. Is he the one who
Sold me that motor scooter?

Gweeb (n) from Youth Underground, "Dweeb,"
Dorky, with an element of gooberishness.
IE: He's a gweeb for eating Raisonettes.
(TM. Proctor & Gamble)

Ate whitebread for the first 
Time in over a year. Like a 
Sticky soft sugary sponge.

Wild Turkey & Grapefruit: Called a WeT GanJ.

White woman from France,
Wild wet and full of fun-
Will wish for foreplay;
Wishes to will her fifty-seven Ford;
Wantonly waiting for free fantasy.
Winners win fresh fone #'s:
Dial 1-900-WILL WORK FOR FOOD.

Rhyme schemes make 'em socially acceptable,
Rhythm makes 'em flow;
But alliteration makes 'em work,
And metaphor drives 'em home.
