I’m the proverbial American Man < !signature-->I hold fast to a fragile society As if I were riding a steady donkey Into the winds of propriety Belligerence can be quite tactful If you are serving a plateful of stew And you’re as of drenched comrade says You bloody get, a bowl would better do Comrade Tinkle Tutt a mighty man of old Sits in the war room scowling at the map He raises his coffee cup and shouts Here! Here! But there is not even Sanka there on tap Comrade Tinkle Tutt is a soviet yet a spy Yet a spy… Ha Ha …a soviet yet a spy He dug his best work up in Great Britain He where’s a monocle up in his left eye But I’m the American Man thus so! I play a mean game o ‘lectronic battleship And it would be quite ironic I’d say But when we play I always get whipped Tinkle Tutt Tinkle Tutt he said they’d cry Course he was aliased and disguised then man! They’d shout Jimminy Cricket he’s our cricket If he can’t do it then durned if nobody can Oh those glorious times of yesterday When mom and dad were round to say Tsk! Tsk! To sit and reflect is the American Way Like when I beat ole Comrade Tinkle Tutt at Risk The doctor said, "You're almost dead. Don't eat green bananas no more." The sick little monkey groaned and said, "But that's what I 1-2 the 3-4." from The Monkey--Shel Silverstein [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 05-10-2000).] |

Hey, walt. This poem had smilin' all the way through. I especially liked the part about Battleship --reminded me of when I used to play it with my brother all the time. Strangely enough, this poem reminds me of early Pink Floyd. But saying that would compromise your thoroughly unique, rightfully bizarre vision. Lord knows we don't want that. I look forward to more of your work -- assuming I can work out a schedule known as "free time." Mike |

Great poem Walt, Us British ain't that stiff though and only ever to win, Anyway, I liked the poem it was refreshing in it's very different and humourous style . L.of.L. Tom . With poetry as your weapon - express your iner feelings so all may carry your sorrow, united as one . |
