The worst wars are civil.
Tear down the tower and you tear down the view.
For someone who knows it all, you seem to be holding back.
Sometimes being nebulous is more exact.
It's so literary its unreadable.
The writing's on the wall and you're calling it graffitti?!?
Hammering nails in thin air.
She had rhythms that weren't 4/4.
All mortar, no brick.
No one forgets to wake up.
STORY POEMS
Olive Chancellor was a strict one
Wanted to reform the solar system
invest new laws to end the clutter
'Physics is messy' I heard her mutter
"But Olive," said a scientist. "We're in no position.
To denounce the laws of the solar system."
"Bosh to that. It's early in the day.
A broom, a dust pan - a will and a way."

Ants you are mad
to work on and on?
put down those burdens
and look up at that Moon!

In the 'Higher Vaudeville' the guffaws are muffled,
the jokes queue politely in and out of punch lines,
Schtick finds itself in banter with Subtleties
and Ukeleles have bows like violins.

and tappers wear soft shoes and walk on their toes
and though the 'girlies' still retain their figures
clothing them in couture has become de rigueur
In the "Higher Vaudeville', the Show of Shows.
drop by drop
the roof leaks!
Not to worry
sky full of stars
Open The Door
or Coup Coup Ca Choo
A Taxing Problem
"Money is more important in societies that don't share" -Art S. Revolutionary.
Did you know that the top 3 billionaires by themselves possess more assets than the combined gross national product of the 48 least developed countries with their total population of 600 million people?
Well here's an idea to spread that wealth around a little. Pass this tax law. If you are the wealthiest person in the U.S., then you have to pay one tenth of your total fortune when taxes are due! Then no one would want to be the #1, single wealthiest person, and they'd give enough away each year to stay #2 richest or lower on the list. I asked cartoon billionaire, Mr. Burns if he thought it was a good idea: "Exxxx -cellent"
