Poem
METICULOUS Thom Love Pruett – his effect on absolutely everyone around him – Impeccably dressed Moderately slight in stature and weight With features suggesting a certain hauteur and With promise of shrill snippiness should he be upset His expectations of those close enough to converse are maniacal And apply equally to self Things have a definite love of geometry Yes! A geometry of things but Just things like A bathroom towel how it hangs just so The kitchen cupboard all things at proper Interval and height You name it Seldom, though, does Thom Love consider flesh another’s feelings One might ask – how can such an outright consistent prig have friends? Well neat-freak Thom Love (never just Thom) holds aces in the monetary and political game If you pucker up your ass-kissing lips and do so with a loving smile Thom Love might, so called, set-you-up He rules the Pruett Tower with a strong but latex-gloved hand And you’d best be dressed with conservative Care Lest Thom Love – known secretly as Pru – will assume his awful prune wrinkled dried apricot stare Blame it on his childhood house – A dwelling of three odd souls – Where all was in dusty dirty array - dinner dishes stacked by a greasy sink floors caked with brown stain did I mention they had many cats? nothing thrown away – books magazines stacked high windows grayed from tobacco smoke I could go on and on Well at 21 Thom Love came into an inheritance from a sane deceased member of the Pruett clan After his parents died in a house fire He vowed to put all around him in proper (geometric) orders Should you run into Thom Love He’ll not shake your hand but Examine your clothes your studs your glasses your watch with gleaming eyes Dave Austin
