Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

A Sheep In Wolf's Clothing

In my fantasies I wolf down all my food
   'Course that way it doesn't taste too good
I also stand on a hill and howl at the moon
   Then again, those nights can't end too soon...

In my dreams I torment the three little pigs
   Yet I can never blow down the third one's digs
And every time I try to fool Little Red Riding Hood
   I wind up thrown out of my house, and into the woods...
 
My greatest wish was always to have been Wolfman Jack
   But back then it was courage I undoubtedly lacked
Yet now that I'm brave enough to publicly yelp 'woof, woof'
   I'm content just to be myself -- simple, plain Gershon Wolf!

Michelle Faulkner February 2, 2019 at 11:34 PM The title, of course, is perfect for you - also enjoyed the fairy tale references ( was Wolfman Jack a famous DJ? Not sure) Many congratulations on your win! Gershon Wolf February 3, 2019 at 1:06 PM Yes, indeed, Wofman Jack was THE DJ, par excellence, of what I think of as the Golden Age of Rock and Roll, i.e., before the Beatles. Thanks for the input, Michelle! :) gw

Jennifer Proxenos January 6, 2019 at 2:03 PM Hi Gershon, And that is how we like you! Brave poem and well written! We should all analyze ourselves!

Line Gauthier January 6, 2019 at 7:59 AM Bravo, Gershon...though I doubt you've ever been or ever will be plain. Gershon Wolf January 6, 2019 at 1:46 PM Correct, Line....By implication, I'm simple. (And I really am). :) gw
