A Good Clean Slam

A Good Clean Slam Let us investigate the process! HOW…..HOW…..shall we make a MUD PIE……without getting dirty??? We shall polish up the words, buff them to an acceptable finish, weave them into an undecipherable web of double entendre, tongue in cheek malapropisms, drape it sensually in Freudian Slips, conceal its intent in a Slamming Trojan Horse. We shall protest – but not too much, Shout – but not too loudly, We shall rant – but briefly stay within the confines of the PC Police lines. How then shall I tame this rage, this hard boiled anger? Contain these tears of fear, smooth the edges of my life into a gentle, inoffensive, song? Would you have me ride into battle on a doe, carrying a feather? Offer flowers to those who need cold steel? Must I rein in my vitriolic vengeance, curtail my caustic tongue, creep – snake-like….hissing - balloon-like spewing my venom in lost droplets, burning an already scorched soul?? John G.
