No Beautiful Woman

Sticker in a taxi NO BEAUTIFUL WOMAN STAYS WITH ONE MAN Black, bold on rainbow I shift the phrase Like tiles in Scrabble On the rack of my brain Trying to spell SENSE On the dashboard I spell and check into The lexicon of truth The adage is a winnow With windows in it I retrieve my tiles And note FALLACY In the files

Very clever, and poignant too, Melvin. Love the reference to the "lexicon of truth." Great poem! Carolyn
