Poem
Les C. More back from the vay-cay holidays, giving my poetry peeps a look-see at an odd Klondike meet He ain’t nothing but small potatoes Trying to live big-talk lettuce large His backsliding snowshoes walk so holey That short con grifter grin spin tall tales — Green giant beanstalk talk guacamole-y Mucho moneybag dreams full of empty air, that don’t ever avocado amount to nothing Small-time schemes of simple-minded plans, which never pan out ... sub zero foul headed south Always bringing in less than nothing He ain’t never gon bandito be nothing but a small fry — Small-time peso, catphish criminal on an asphalt pond coin hustle Pennywise pygmy putting on froggy airs, croaking a tough guy cry ... squirting big croc tear lies Acting like dollar store muscle But his big, bad Canadian woofs be a poodle scare farce, French barks full of nothing ... giving him kennel plenty caged time to have more polarizing, petty cell thoughts — Little gray matter blowing big bluster got busted ... Arctic cop caught Leprechaun brain freeze melting grandiose dreams into Yukon fools gold, iron bar moonbeams Solitary mote musings eyeing elephantine endings: more get-rich angles, poach-the-poor fantasies Tiny-hearted man with big swindle hands, always got a large lung bag of con for holding paper vapors less than nothing
