[January24th]

Poets serve the people well
when doubling their entendre
disguising a good, "Go to Hell"
for the democratic genre

Wryly noting ironies
a poet's work is never done
jabbing at cruel tyrannies
in words scarce known by some

So if you seek to prove what's true
or need a bon mot, quick riposte,
a poet's muse is their for you
With free advice for twice the cost!

[Kay Syrah]

you guys are all too funny! should be illegal to laugh today.

writing's a good simile
for tax forms and insanity
we twist and turn and lose our forms
but keep it going night and morn.

Of tax forms I have had enough
and where the metaphor fails
I wish I could just fill them in
with stuff that I made up.

My brain is taxed and overtaxed
and thoughts I should be lending
to adding up and taking down
I'm using for my own spending.

Long. Live. Free. Enterprise. Later

[Camachee]

The history of every civilization is written in the flutter accumulation of paper disregarded and resting in its gutters.
