Virginia Salter fiddle, diddle, man in the middle watching and waiting for noon grabbed a fork and then a knife he slipped through the day with a spoon rhubarb sauce and lemon pie the tartness that they play singes the tongue with acidity and stifles the light of the day how so, you say, how could that be how might something eaten bring the dark well linger awhile in the salty pool and be eaten by a shark chomp and squirm, wriggle and twist scream to your heart’s content the grossness of the hour you see needs no condiment is this morose, is this a pall or is it just apalling? I could end this poem in a moment now, but I guess that I’m just stalling for in my odd and giggly way I find this entertaining I don’t know why this has come to me but I hear no one complaining mwhaaaaa haaaaaa haaaaaa © June 8, 2000 |

I love humor! And you write it very well. ![]() Not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. |

"The time has come," the Walrus said "to speak of many things, of shoes and ships and sealing wax and cabbages and kings and whether the sea is boiling hot and whether pigs have wings." "But wait awhile," the oysters cried "before we have our chat, most of us are out of breath and all of us are fat." "No hurry," said the Carpenter they thanked him much for that. "A loaf of bread," the Walrus said, "is what we chiefly need, some pepper and vinager too would be very good indeed and then oysters dear we can begin our feed!" "But not on us," the oysters cried feeling a little blue, "after such kindness that would be a dismal thing to do!" The Carpenter said nothing but, "do you admire the view?" They are so good when you use pepper and vinager.! (can't remember the author) |
